The chance is not rarer, the event is. The chance is lower or smaller. By the way, there's no need to capitalize chance .

The chance is not rarer, the event is. The chance is lower or smaller. By the way, there's no need to capitalize chance. Chance is usually used in its plural form here: "The chances of making a flush are lower than those of making a straight."

(a rare chance means "a not frequently occurring opportunity".)
