Objective of the Game
Banca Francesa is a gambling game, primarily played in casinos, similar to dice games. The main objective of the game is to bet on the outcome of a dice roll and win money by making accurate predictions.
Game Setup
The game is played with a special table that features a betting area. There is a bankholder, who manages the dice, and several players who place bets.
Dice and Bets
- Dice: Three dice are used, which the bankholder shakes in a cup and then rolls.
- Betting Options: Players can bet on one of three possible outcomes: "As", "Pasa", or "Empate".
Outcome Meanings
- "As": The outcome of the dice is 5, 6, or 7. The player wins the bet.
- "Pasa": The outcome of the dice is 14, 15, or 16. The player wins the bet.
- "Empate": All other outcomes, especially any triples (like three 2s or three 4s), are considered "Empate" and the bet is withdrawn.
Game Rules
- Placing Bets: At the start of a round, players place their bets on one of the three betting options.
- Rolling Dice: The bankholder shakes the dice cup and rolls the dice onto the table.
- Result: The total of the three dice determines the result of the round:
- A result of 5, 6, or 7 means "As" players win.
- A result of 14, 15, or 16 means "Pasa" players win.
- All other results (such as any triples) are considered "Empate".
- Payouts: Winners receive payouts according to the odds.
Strategic Tips
- Betting Patterns: Since "Empate" means no money leaves the table, you can play with a balanced strategy by alternating bets on "As" and "Pasa"; beyond this, the game relies heavily on luck.
- Bankroll Management: Manage your bets carefully to avoid long losing streaks and reserve capital for multiple rounds.
Highlights
- With all players betting against the bank, there is a strong community feel among players.
- Social Interaction: Often played in a relaxed environment, making it a popular choice in casinos.
Have fun playing Banca Francesa! Keep in mind that it's largely a game of chance, fast-paced, and thrilling.
