What are the rules of dreidle you ask? The rules linked here seem to think that Gimel indicates some kind of german word for all, so that gimel means you get all of what's in the pot. Respectively, this set of rules says that Shin indicates a player should "put one in" to the pot from their stash. I have always thought it was gimel-give and shin-you win, but who am I to argue?
Now, for all of my goyim (non jewish pals), the words above may seem like some kind of code used for illegal gambling. Well, it kind of is.
Hope to see you all enjoying some latkes (potato pancakes) at my post chanukah open house tonight. Bring your dreidle!
