Gambing for sausages

Went out of Friday night for my first experience with KTV, or karaoke. While there are places where you can karaoke in the bar, it's more common the rent a private karaoke room so you can sing with just your friends. We went to a place called Cash Box which looks like a hotel when you first walk in - big lobby, a reception desk, chandeliers, etc. But instead of a room with a bed, you get a room with a big TV, two mics, couches and tables, a private bathroom, and a karaoke machine. You can order food and drinks from an attendant, but otherwise you have the room to yourselves for how ever many hours you've rented. Although I'm not a huge fan of karaoke, it was pretty fun.

Outside Cash Box there was a vendor selling Chinese sausages from a little cart. I don't quite understand how it works, but you can place a bet with the vendor who then rolls a couple of dice in a bowl. Depending on the numbers that come up you can win sausages, or you lose your money and not get any sausages. Once I understand how it works I might have to try it.
