An obsolete or variant spelling of 'fullam' or 'fulham,' a loaded die or piece of cheating equipment used by gamblers in historical times.
From obsolete English gaming terminology, possibly connected to Fulham (a place in London), though the true origin is debated; used from 16th-17th centuries for fraudulent dice.
Fulham dice were so notorious that they became slang for cheating itself—if you got caught with one, you'd literally have parts of your ear cut off as punishment in some places.
