Pocket Dice

Introduction

Pocket Dice is an easy-to-learn dice game found at various online casinos. Players select a total between 2 and 12 and then wager on whether the outcome of two dice will fall above or below that chosen number. The payouts correspond to the likelihood of winning.

Rules

  1. The player will make a bet.
  2. Players can pick any number ranging from 2 to 12 as their target.
  3. Participants must also decide if they believe the result will be lower or higher, although betting under 2 and over 12 is not permitted.
  4. Two dice will be rolled.
  5. Bets are resolved based on whether the player's wager on the dice outcome was successful. For instance, if a player bets on a roll exceeding 6 and the actual roll is 10, the player secures a win.
  6. Ties lose.
  7. The winning odds are detailed in the table provided below. These odds are represented on a 'to one' basis, which includes the initial stake in the calculation.
