The newest, funnest dice game in town! Dicejack!

jj and I have created a dice game to raise money for our charity group and to give people a chance at winning BIG!! Here are the rules:

Maximum bet is 1000 currants
Minimum bet 100 currants
You get 3 rolls.
If you get 17-20 after those 3 rolls you get double your bet.
If you get 21 after those 3 rolls you get triple your bet.
If you go over 21 you bust and you lose.
If you get 2 after your first roll and you choose to sit you get double your bet.
If you get 2 after your first roll and you choose to play on and get 20 you get triple your bet.
If you get 2 after your first roll and you choose to play on and get 21 you get quadriple your bet.
If you get 20 after your first 2 rolls and both of the times you get 5 and 5 you win quadriple.
If you get 6 after those 3 rolls you get x6 your bet!!!

Talk to jj or I to play! Have fun! :D

Also, if you want to play more dice game have a look at this group:

  • As a craps aficionado this looks like a horrible bet. I'm temped to do the math and figure out your house edge. I'm surprised gambling is allowed in this game.

  • If my math doesn't fail me, here are my probability calculations of rolling two 6-sided dice three times:
    The sum of 20 after 3 rolls: 9.05%
    The sum of 21 after 3 rolls: 9.28%
    Going over 21 after 3 rolls: 63.69%
    Getting snake eyes on the first roll: 0.03%
    Getting snake eyes on the first roll and all 3 rolls totaling 20: 0.001%
    Getting snake eyes on the first roll and all 3 rolls totaling 21: 0.001%
    Getting 20 after your first two rolls and both times rolling a pair of 5s: 0.00015%
    The sum of 6 after 3 rolls: 0.000000000459393658%

  • Sorry, some of my math was off!
    Getting snake eyes on the first roll: 3%
    Getting snake eyes on the first roll and all 3 rolls totaling 20: 9.17%
    Getting snake eyes on the first roll and all 3 rolls totaling 21: 7.32%
    Getting 20 after your first two rolls and both times rolling a pair of 5s: 0.077%
    The sum of 6 after 3 rolls: 0.0021433%

  • Well, at least it's educational.

  • Math off still? Or is it really more likely to get snakeyes on the first roll and then sum of 20 after 3 then just getting a sum of 20 after 3? Not trying to be pedantic, it just kind of jumped out at me..

  • @Caspur
    Why does gambling surprise you?  This is an adult game and the game itself provides a pair of dice to play with.

  • It would be awesome if the devs loaded the dice :/

    My numbers might be off, I was working on this before I really woke up. Either way, as with most gambling games, the odds are not in your favor.

  • Try 17-20 for double. Trust me, we got 21 a lot. If getting 6 after 3 rolls has a chance of 0.0021433% then you are very likely to get much higher.

  • @WindBornI find gambling being allowed funny because in the early days of WOW people ran casinos and they rewrote the terms of service to ban it. Too many people getting ripped off I think.

  • @ Caspur: I don't know how money works in WOW but currants are very easy to earn in Glitch and you don't pay real money for them. To my mind anyone entering into gambling for a small amount of currants is harmless fun. Max bet here is 1000 currants and that is a tiny amount to anyone but the newest players - who I think will be busy levelling and playing rather than searching for distractions on the forum. It says at the top of the post that the aim is to raise money for a charity group (I believe this is a group that provides housing for new players, but perhaps jj or daniel could confirm this) so anyone who plays this should be going in with their eyes open, and if they lose they know the money is going to a good cause.

  • Hmm, calculating the odds is all very well, but don't count on them folks. I once told my boyfriend I'd give him a...um...favour if he rolled a six three times in a row, and he could have 3 attempts. He did it first go! Couldn't believe my eyes.
