The following basic terms, however, are well known in Cachito circles, especially when they are used within the framework of the online Cachito community:
Aced: This bidding term is used to explain a situation when a player has three aces. In a Cachito game, the ace (number one) acts the part of the Joker and as such, special rules apply to situations where aces are present.
Blues: This bidding term is often used during Cachito tournaments – both online and offline. Essentially, when it is called by a player, it will automatically change the previous call to an ace call.
Dogspangle: At the beginning of the 20th Century, a famous Cachito player named Dogspangle coined several terms during championship matches. The term “Aced” (as seen above) was one of his more famous terms. The bidding term, ‘dogspangle’ means that the player’s first maneuver is a double six on the dice.
Advanced Dogspangle: This bid used in a Cachito game is identical to a simple dogspangle bid, except that the player’s starting bid is a triple 6 on the dice.
Jaydee: Another Cachito player who termed phrases and terms in the game was Jaydee Jaipiveedy. A certain bid used often by Jaipideevy involved opening the game with a single 2. The logic behind this move was to act as a deterrent to open a bid. The bid was eventually named Jaydee in this player’s honor.
Teknarav: Named after another famous Cachito player, Beanise Teknarav, this bid immediately switches from low numbers to high numbers in a game.
