Casino Dices

Yahtzee

Sales of this trademarked dice game approach those of casino Monopoly and blackjack casino Scrabble. Actually, Yahtzee is a proprietary version of a classic called Yacht, which has been around for years. The games are almost identical, although Yahtzee jazzes up the proceedings with special bonuses on certain rolls. Any number can play . As in Poker Dice, five dice are used, with as many as three rolls per turn. A tally sheet itemizes the thirteen different kinds of rolls that produce scores. These range from yahtzee (five of a kind) through full houses to pairs. After he has entered a tally for one of the thirteen hands, the player cannot score again for that kind of hand or . Thus, as play progresses, players have fewer options. After everybody in Casino has had thirteen turns, or after the options are exhausted, scores are added and highest wins.

Triple Yahtzee

This offers extra bonuses and requires a bit of thought in choosing the kinds of bonuses to seek Casino Promotions.

Yacht Casino

As in Yahtzee, the player retains whatever dice please him on the first roll and tosses the others again in hope of improving the hand. Yacht (five of a kind) is worth 50. Straights are worth 30. Four of a kind earns the total number of pips shown on all five dice. So do full house and choice (any five dice but not in Luxuary Machines ). Pairs (or singles 1 through 6) count only the number of pips on the scoring dice—for example, 6 for one 6, 12 for two, etc. Two pairs are not permitted. Each player has twelve turns and, as in Yahtzee, may not score in a category in which he has already scored . The categories are casino yacht, six-high straight (big), five-high straight (little), four of a kind, full house, choice and the six different pairs.

Crag Game

Like Yacht, with only three dice and two rolls per turn. A poker score sheet includes the game’s thirteen possibilities, the highest being crag (when a pair plus the third die total exactly 13), which is worth 50. When three dice, not including a pair, total 13, the tally is 26. Three of a kind counts 25. Four different straights are recognized and each is worth 20. They are high (4-5-6), low (1-2-3), odd (1-3-5) and even (2-4-6). Pairs are tallied as in Yacht.

Double Cameroon

This version uses ten dice, three rolls per turn and ten scoring categories. After completing his rolls, the Casino Games player divides the dice into two casino groups of five, attempting to score with each. Ones through sixes and full houses score the total of the five dice in the hand that fits the selected category. Five of a kind scores 50. Large Cameroon (a six-high straight) earns 30 in . Little Cameroon (five-high straight) gets 21.
