Abstract
Left, Center, Right is a popular dice game. We analyze the game using Markov chain and Monte Carlo methods. We compute the expected game length for two to eight players and determine the probability of winning for each player in the game. We discuss the surprising conclusions of which players have the highest and lowest chance of winning, and we propose a small rule change that makes the game a little more fair.
