Yes, now the presence of online dice is the answer for those of you who like conventional dice games. There happens not to be any requirementof being afraid of the various risks involved, because the dice games provided by online gambling agents have guaranteed the comfort. Street Dice Introduction. Street Dice is a dice game that debuted at the Downtown Grand casino in Las Vegas on May 16, 2014. It could loosely be described as a simplified version of craps, with just two bets and a maximum of four rolls to resolve a bet. The Street Craps, sometimes called Shooting Dice or Ghetto Craps is similar to casino craps but is played without a craps table.The name comes from the way that the game was played in the late 1900’s; on city streets and sidewalks.
Street Dice is a dice game that debuted at the Downtown Grand casino in Las Vegas on May 16, 2014. It could loosely be described as a simplified version of craps, with just two bets and a maximum of four rolls to resolve a bet. At the Grand, the game is played outdoors with the dice cast inside a three-sided wood box, painted to look like an alley.
The dealer uses a claw to pick up the dice.
Rules
There are two bets only in Street Dice. Both are played with two ordinary dice.

Pass Bet
- The Pass bet is made before the 'Set the Point' roll, the equivalent to the come out roll in craps.
- If the Set the Point roll is a 7, then the Pass bet pushes.
- If the Set the Point roll is an 11, then the Pass bet wins even money.
- If the Set the Point roll is a 2, 3, or 12, then the Pass bet loses.
- Otherwise, whatever was rolled becomes the Point. The object is to roll the point again, within three more rolls, and without rolling a seven. The odds depend on the point and on which roll it was rolled a second time, according to the pay table below.
- If a seven is rolled after the Set the Point roll, or the player goes three rolls without rolling the point or a seven (I'll call this getting three strikes), then the Pass bet loses.
Pass Bet Pay Table
Roll | Point | ||
---|---|---|---|
4, 10 | 5, 9 | 6, 8 | |
1 | 5 to 1 | 4 to 1 | 3 to 1 |
2 | 4 to 1 | 3 to 1 | 2 to 1 |
3 | 3 to 1 | 2 to 1 | 1 to 1 |
These are the dice used. They are a little bigger than craps dice. I'm told the Grand preferred to use even larger dice, but these are as big as Nevada Gaming will allow.
Some readers might wonder about the bounciness of the ground. It is like wet clay. Sometimes the dice just lay right where they land.
Brick Bet
- The Brick bet is made before the 'Set the Point' roll.
- If the Set the Point roll is a 7 or 11, then the Brick bet pushes.
- If the Set the Point roll is a 2, 3, 5, 9, or 12, then the Brick bet loses.
- Otherwise, whatever was rolled becomes the Point. The object is to roll the point again the hard way* within three more rolls, and without rolling a seven or the point the easy way**. A win pays 25 to 1.
- If the player rolls a seven, rolls the point the easy way, or goes three rolls after the Set the Point roll without doing either, then the Brick bet loses.
* The Hard Way is rolling a particular even number with both dice landing on the same face. For example, a five and five would be called a hard 10.
** The Easy Way is rolling a particular even number with both dice landing on difference faces. For example, a four and six would be called an easy 10.

From which I exclude board games that rely primarily on dice, such as Backgammon, other race games, and all roll and move games.
Beetle (aka Cooties)
Each player rolls a die and draws a certain part of a bug, depending on the die roll. Certain parts must be drawn before others may be drawn. The first to complete his bug wins.
Bunco
Roll three dice, scoring the result. No decisions. Widely popular among suburban women in the US.
Chō-han (aka Chō-Han Bakuchi)
Very simple Japanese dice game. Six dice are rolled and the results kept secret. Players bet on whether the sum on the dice is odd or even.
Farkle (aka Zonk, Zilch, 10000, Wimp Out, Greed, Squelch)
A “push your luck” game, and the inspiration for Can’t Stop and other, similar proprietary games. 00 roulette wheel.
Roll six dice, banking any that can score (generally any 1, 5, or three of a kind). You can end you turn and score what you have banked, or re-roll the non-banked dice. If you ever roll dice and can’t bank any of them, you lose everything you have banked and pass your turn.
Hazard (aka Craps)
Craps is a specific variant of Hazard.
Pick a number from 5 to 9 and try to roll it (in Craps, the number is 7). If you roll the number you win. If you roll 2, 3, 11, or 12, you may lose, depending on which number you picked. Otherwise, try to roll the same number you just rolled again, before rolling the number that you originally picked.
LCR
A proprietary game only 17 years old from George and Company LLC.
Three dice have sides with L (left), R (right), and C (center), and three blank faces. Roll the dice, passing chips in the direction indicated; center means the center pot. The last player with chips left wins (and, if playing for money, takes all the chips in the center pot).
Its popularity stems from the fact that even after you have no chips remaining, you may still win if a player to your left or right passes you one before the game ends.
Liar’s Dice (aka Bluff, Dudo, Cachito, Perudo, Mexicali, Mexican)
The game of betting on the sum rolled.
Each player rolls a number of dice, looks at his own, and covers them. Players then bet, in turn, on how many dice have how high a face value, with each player having to either call or up the values on his turn. At a call, the calling player wins if the previous player was incorrect; otherwise, the previous player wins.
Mexico
Not to be confused with the above Mexican.
All players roll the dice, with the lowest rolling player tossing the stakes into the pot. Continue until all but one player is eliminated. That player takes the pot.
Pig (aka Pass the Pig)
A simpler push your luck game than Farkle. Roll a single die, banking your roll each time. Pass the die and score what you have banked whenever you want. If you roll a 1, you lose what you have banked and pass the die.
Poker Dice
These special dice have faces of 9 through A. Roll the dice, re-rolling any dice up to two times. Player with the highest poker hand wins.
Poker dice are often used to play Klondike, which is not related to the card game of the same name. The dealer and players roll, with the players winning if they beat the dealer’s hand.

The game ends after all boxes are filled, with the highest total score winning.
