The Origin Of A Famous Phrase

There are a few different versions of how “winner, winner, chicken dinner” came about, but the most commonly accepted version is that 1970s casinos used the phrase as part of an effort to attract players to their tables. As the story goes, the most common bet at the time was two dollars, which was also the approximate price of a chicken dinner. When a player won at the table, the dealers would yell “Winner, winner, chicken dinner” as a way to advertise to other casino patrons that someone just won their dinner at the table. While this story is sometimes disputed, it is the most frequently-cited origin for the phrase, which became even more commonly used after ESPN announcers popularized it.
