Abstract

A dice game utilizing three dice begins with players making at least one of a single roll wager or a multiple roll wager. Single roll wagers are resolved after each roll of the dice. The single roll wagers include group wagers in which players wager on mutually exclusive groups of sums, each group having substantially the same probability of winning. Multiple roll wagers may require several rolls of the dice to be resolved because, if the number rolled is neither a predetermined losing outcome nor the outcome wagered upon, the wager is neither collected nor paid and an additional roll is required to resolve the wager. A shooter shoots the dice and the numbers facing upward on the dice are noted. Additionally, the numbers are summed. The wagers are then resolved. A jackpot wager is available to the shooter without the shooter making any additional wager. The shooter wins the jackpot by rolling a predetermined combination of numbers in a predetermined sequence of at least two consecutive rolls of the dice.
