Poker Dice... In Excel!

I tried to think of a game I could create in Excel without any VBA code at all, but was still at least slightly interesting.

I thought of the old Poker Dice game. You roll six dice, each of them have six cards printed on them; nine, ten, jack, queen, king and ace. You get paid an amount depending on the hand you get. (It's really closer to a slot machine than a poker game.)

I utilized Excel's circular references to mimic variables in a basic program, and the calculate option (F9) to 'pull the handle' so to speak.
