You may have seen flyers around the Center or in the newsletter and wondered “What is this LCR Night?” LCR Night is a treasured fundraiser held quarterly at Mid-County Center is the dice game “LCR.” Every few months our members let loose and get together for a fun evening in at MCC filled with fun, laughter, and a yes, a little gambling. Sounds like a great time, but what is it?

What is LCR?

Left-Center-Right (LCR) is a dice game you play with three or more players – typically a table is up to eight at Mid-County. The game is simple: Everyone starts with $30 to start the night, each game you’ll be using $3 and you’ll be playing up to 10 rounds. Your $3 will be exchanged and represented by three chips. Each player will roll one of the special dice, revealing Left (L), Center (C), or Right (R); depending on what you roll, you’ll hand off your $1 chip accordingly.

Roll a…

  • “C” you place a chip in the center,
  • “R” you give your chip to the person on your right,
  • “L” you give a chip to the person on your left.

The game continues until only one player has any chips remaining, so if you’re playing with eight players, the winner will walk away with up to $24 that round. Then repeat for up to 10 rounds!

What do I need to bring?

As this is a fundraiser for Mid-County, door Entry Fee is $7.00. To play you’ll also need to bring 30 one dollar bills to act as “chips” and maybe your lucky socks. Attendees are welcome and encouraged to bring their own food as the night is a potluck of sorts, but alcohol is not permitted at MCC.

Can I play at Mid-County without any experience?

Yes, you don’t need to be familiar with LCR to play at Mid-County Center – just need to show up! Our tables are open seating, so you’ll be able to find some friendly folks during our social hour prior to playing! Many of our members have years of experience and will walk you through the ins and outs when you play. It’s easy to pick up and fun too!

Member Jeanette Lavecchia, regular at LCR Night’s, says “I have a fun time at LCR, and I’ve even won a few times! It’s always fun with friends, but if you don’t bring a friend we are a friendly bunch.  You’ll meet and make new friends.”

Do I have to be a Member to experience LCR Night at MCC?

No, LCR Night is a fun and inclusive activity non-members can participate at Mid-County too!  Our only rule is to be 18 and older, as there is gambling involved. If you’re 50 or older don’t be surprised if you have a blast at LCR and end up joining, though – membership is free!
