Dice Duel
Introduction
Dice Duel is an engaging and straightforward game that utilizes two differently colored dice. Players can place various bets based on the outcome of both rolls. This game is available at the Crown casino located in Melbourne, Australia.
Rules
- The game employs two standard six-sided dice, one of which is red and the other gold.
- The following bets are available:
- Betting on the Red die being higher provides an even payout for wins, with ties resulting in no win unless the roll is 1-1, which is considered a loss.
- Wagering on the Gold die being higher offers an even payout on wins, and ties also result in no win unless the dice show 1-1, which counts as a loss.
- A Tie bet pays 4 to 1 for any tie, with all ties except for 6-6 yielding 8 to 1.
- Specific number bets consist of six wagers, one for each number between 1 and 6, and they win if at least one die shows that number. A payout of 2 to 1 is awarded if one die shows the chosen number, and 4 to 1 if both dice show it.
