In backgammon, a gammon occurs when one player removes all of their checkers before their opponent has removed any. A gammon doubles the value of a game, and the winner receives twice the value of the doubling cube. A backgammon, on the other hand, occurs when one player removes all of their checkers while their opponent still has checkers remaining in their home area or on the bar. A backgammon is usually worth three times as much as a regular victory.
