Inscriptions on all four sides of a Dreidel are the Hebrew symbols: נ ,ג ,ה, and ש.
The Hebrew letters on the dreidel are the mnemonic for the rules of the game in Yiddish: Nun -- Nicht, you get nothing Gimmel -- Ganz, you get the pot Hay -- Halb, you get half the pot Shin -- Shtel, put in a coin into the pot
Aside from spinning the dreidel upside down (which looks hard, but is actually very easy), there are no tricks. Just the Dreidel game.
