A round
- Put chips on one or more of the six symbols. Your total bet can’t be more than your balance.
- Press Roll the Dice: all six dice roll at once.
- For each symbol you bet on, count how many dice show it.
- Each bet is paid on its own: no match loses that bet, one match gives your bet back, and every extra match adds your bet again.
How bets pay
| Dice showing your symbol | You get back | Profit |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Nothing | You lose the bet |
| 1 | 1× your bet | Even |
| 2 | 2× your bet | +1× your bet |
| 3 | 3× your bet | +2× your bet |
| 4 | 4× your bet | +3× your bet |
| 5 | 5× your bet | +4× your bet |
| 6 | 6× your bet | +5× your bet |
Example: 100 chips on Jhanda, 200 on Paan and 100 on Chidi, 400 in all. The dice show Jhanda twice, Paan twice and Chidi once. You get back 100×2 + 200×2 + 100×1 = 700 chips: 300 more than you bet.
Chips
You start with 1,000 chips. If you lose them all, you start again at 1,000. Chips are only for fun: there is nothing to buy and they have no cash value.
