Understanding the Dice Results
Trips (Triples) — Automatic Win
Trips are three dice showing the same number.
Examples:
• 5-5-5 (Trips 555) — Automatic Win
• 6-6-6, 4-4-4, and all other triples
All Trips win automatically. Higher Trips beat lower Trips. Trips beat every other roll, including Big "6".
⸻
Big "6" (4-6-4) — Automatic Win
• Any double number, with a "6" wins
​
Rolling 4-5-6 is an automatic win.
• Beats all Point hands
• Loses only to Trips
⸻
Points + Pair
A Point is any roll with a pair and one different number.
• The single die is the Point
• Example: 3-3-5 = Point 5
After a Point is set, the other player(s) roll to beat it. The higher Point wins.
⸻
Bust (1-2-3) — Automatic Loss
Rolling 1-2-3 is called a Bust.
• Shooter loses immediately
• Common rule requires the shooter to pay the pot or double the bet
• No rerolls
⸻
No Point
Any roll that does not qualify as Trips, Big "6", Point, or Bust.
• Shooter rerolls until a valid result appears
• Some games limit rerolls (decide before play)
⸻
Bank Rules (Optional)
• Players bet against the Bank, not each other
• The Bank rolls last
• Ties usually go to the Bank
• The Bank must have enough money to cover all bets
⸻
Quick Street Guide
• Automatic Wins: Trips (including 5-5-5), Big "6"(4-6-4), Cee-Lo (4-5-6)
