Cee-lo is a gambling game played with three six-sided dice. The name is derived from the Chinese name for the game, which is literally the numerical sequence four-five-six (四五六; Sì-Wŭ-Liù; sei3 ng5 luk6). Although many variations exist, there are certain common rules, including the use of three dice and common roll combinations, such as rolling a 4-5-6 to win, 1-2-3 to lose, and other combinations which establish a point for comparison to rolls by other player(s).

The various sets of rules can be divided into two broad categories according to how betting is handled. In banking games, one player serves as a banker, who covers the individual bets of the other players, each of whom competes directly with the bank. In non-banking games, each player has essentially equal status, and rules must exist for the players to pool their bets and attempt to win from a common pot.
