Objective of the Game
Grand Hazard is a dice gambling game where players bet on the outcome of three dice. The aim is to correctly predict which numbers will be rolled to receive a payout.
Game Materials
- Three six-sided dice
- A gaming table with various betting fields and payout rates, or alternatively simple betting options on a sheet of paper.
Gameplay
- Placing Bets: Each player places their bets on one or more fields where they believe the dice result will match. Common betting options include:
- Single Number: Betting on a specific number (1 to 6) appearing on one or more dice.
- Total Sum: Betting on the sum of the three dice values. Common sum options are 4 to 10 and 11 to 17, but 3 and 18 are usually not played as they often have high payouts in other bets.
-
Triple: Betting that all three dice will show the same number.
-
Rolling the Dice: After all bets have been placed, the dealer, or a player, rolls the three dice.
-
Payouts: Once the dice have been cast, bets are settled according to the betting payout rates, either paying out or collecting the bets. Here are typical payout rates:
- Single Number: Often 1:1 or 2:1, depending on whether the number appears on one or two dice.
- Triple: Can be 30:1 due to the low probability.
-
Sums: Different payouts depending on the probability of the sum.
-
Repeating Rounds: Players can place new bets for the next round after the current one concludes. The game continues as long as players wish.
Strategic Considerations
- Understanding Bet Options: Know the probabilities and associated payout structures. Bets with higher payouts generally have lower probabilities.
- Bankroll Management: As a luck-based and risky game, it's crucial to adjust your bets according to your bankroll.
- Variety of Bets: It can be sensible to place different types of bets to diversify chances, but be aware of variance.
Grand Hazard is a straightforward yet exciting game that is primarily luck-based but allows for different betting strategies to maximize excitement and potential.
