The following Poker Dice rolls are in order from high to low:įive of a kind – All 5 dice rolled are the same numberįour of a kind – 4 dice rolled are the same numberįull house – 3 dice rolled with one number and 2 dice rolled with a different number Whoever wins the pot begins the next round. Player 4 is the final player, so they immediately win the pot. Their roll is worse than Player 2’s, so they are immediately out of the round. All other players must meet the raise in order to stay in the round. This beats Player 1’s roll, so Player 1 is immediately out of the round.


They choose to raise the pot by throwing in one more chip. All other players must then throw in two chips in order to play. If the final player at the table rolls the highest combination, the round is immediately over, and they collect the pot. The player who rolled the highest combination takes the pot. The player taking their turn, having rolled the new highest valued combination, may check or raise. If a player rolls a higher valued combination, any previous players who rolled something worse are out of the round. If the player fails to roll a better combination, they immediately bust and are out of the round. For subsequent turns during a round, players are challenged to roll a better combination in order to stay in. This player must beat the previous player’s combination in order to stay in the round. Once a player’s turn is finished, the dice are passed to the next player. If a player raises, all other players must meet the raise in order to stay in the round. They may choose to check (leave the pot amount as it is), or raise (add more chips to the pot). Once a player is satisfied with their dice combination (or has rolled three times), their turn is over. During their turn, player’s may keep or reroll as many dice as they wish. While doing so, players are trying to build the best combination possible. On a player’s turn, they may roll the dice up to three times. For example, if the player throws in a single chip, all other players must also throw a single chip into the pot if they wish to play this round. Any other player who wishes to play this round must meet the ante. THE PLAYĮach round begins the with the first player deciding the ante. While this change might be frustrating for seasoned poker veterans, the element of luck may make the game more inviting for the casual gambler. The randomness of the dice roll changes the overall strategy needed for the game and introduces more luck.

Consequently, in some variants of the rules, straights are counted as busts.OBJECTIVE OF POKER DICE: Be the player with the most chips at the end of the game NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2 or more MATERIALS: Five 6 sided dice and chips for betting TYPE OF GAME: Dice game AUDIENCE: Adults In poker dice there are in fact only four possible bust hands:, ,, and both other no-pair hands (i.e., in which either the A or the 9 are missing) are straights. The poker dice hand rankings and the corresponding probabilities of rolling that hand are as follows (not sorted by probability but from highest to lowest ranking): Handīusts are much lower probability than in card poker, because there are only 6 values instead of 13, making pairs and straights much more likely than with cards. The remaining 8 faces featured stars and acted as wild cards allowing for every possible poker hand to be rolled. The sets featured 5 12 sided dice allowing for all 52 playing cards to be represented. In 1974 Aurora produced a set of 12 sided poker dice called "Jimmy the Greek Odds Maker Poker Dice" and in 2000 Aurora/Rex Games produced a similar set under the name "Royal Poker Dice". A similar set are currently manufactured by Koplow Games. Marlboro once marketed a set of octahedral poker dice that included suits each die had slightly different numberings, ranging from 7 up to ace. Manufacturers have not standardized the colors of the face sides.) 9♣ and 10♦ are frequently found, while face cards are traditionally represented not by suit but instead by color: red for kings, green for queens and blue for jacks. (Each variety of poker dice varies slightly in regard to suits, though the ace of spades is almost universally represented. Neither a "flush" nor a "straight flush" is a possible hand, due to the lack of suits on the dice. After the three rolls the best hand wins.

Poker dice are dice which, instead of having number pips, have representations of playing cards upon them.
