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

 
  1. The player will make a bet.
  2. The player will choose any number from 2 to 12.
  3. The player will also choose under or over, except under 2 and over 12 are not options.
  4. Two dice will be rolled.
  5. 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.
  6. Ties lose.
  7. 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.
