Poker Dice

A player begins to shake the dice in his cup and throws his sentence in the dice cup. The aim of the game is to achieve a higher poker hand than the opponent.

The combinations (Hands )

The combinations are denominated in descending order

  • Five of a kind, five matches, for example, five tens.
  • Four of a kind, four of a kind, for example, four boys.
  • Full house, three of a kind and a pair, such as three aces and two ladies.

  • Before the first throw of the second player (see below),
  • Before the second litter of the second player,
