Key facts
Best bets: Small (total 4 to 10) and Big (total 11 to 17), with a house edge of about 2.8%. Many specific bets carry much higher edges.
How to play
Place bets on totals, combinations, specific numbers or triples, then the three dice are shaken. Each bet has its own payout.
What makes it different
Small and Big lose when any triple appears, which creates the house edge. Bets on specific triples or totals pay a lot but rarely win.
Our tips
Stick to Small or Big for the lowest edge. No betting system changes the house edge, so set a budget before you sit down.
