Pocket Dice
Introduction
Pocket Dice is a simple dice game that can be played at some Internet casinos. The player may choose any total from 2 to 12 and then bet if the roll of two dice will be higher or lower than that chosen total. The pays are commensurate with the probability of winning.
Rules
- The player will make a bet.
- The player will choose any number from 2 to 12.
- The player will also choose under or over, except under 2 and over 12 are not options.
- Two dice will be rolled.
- Bets will be resolved according to whether the player made a winning bet on the roll of the dice. For example, if the player bet over 6, and the roll was a 10, then the player wins.
- Ties lose.
- Winning odds are shown in the table below. Odds are expressed on a "for one" basis, meaning it includes the return of the original wager.
