LAS VEGAS - Think you're smarter a than chicken? You'll get to prove it in the "Chicken Challenge" at the Tropicana hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

The game features a live chicken that competes with customers at tic-tac-toe. Tropicana officials say the game's been a hit with gamblers at their casino in Atlantic City, N.J.

The chicken starts its scratching in Vegas on Wednesday, and there's a lot more than chicken feed on the line.

Anyone who beats the chicken wins $10,000. Casino officials say in the last nine months there have only been five winners.
