The dabo table in Quark's Bar.
The dabo wheel.
Dabo is a roulette-style game of chance developed by the Ferengi. When one wins, it is customary to shout "Dabo!" Given the "profit at any price" philosophy of the Ferengi, it is not uncommon to find that a Dabo table has been rigged.
Often Dabo girls are specifically instructed by their employers to distract players into losing. A common saying in Dabo is: "Watch the wheel, not the girl."
When Quark announced that Major Kira Nerys was the millionth customer of his establishment, he gave her five free spins at the Dabo wheel as one of three presents. (DS9: "Meridian")
Quark once taught the rules of Dabo to the Karemma representative Hanok who promptly busted him by betting on "Triple Over". (DS9: "Starship Down")
