About Dreidel Game
A dreidel is a four-sided top, played with during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.

Each side of the dreidel bears a letter of the Hebrew alphabet: (Nun), (Gimel), (Hei), (Shin), which together form the acronym for “” (Nes Gadol Haya Sham – “a great miracle happened there”). These letters also form a mnemonic for the rules of a gambling game played with a dreidel: Nun stands for the Yiddish word “nit” (‘nothing’), hei stands for “halb” (‘half’), gimel for “gants” (‘all’), and shin for “shteln” (‘put’).

The Yiddish word “dreydl” comes from the word “dreyen” (“to turn”).
