A two player game, players roll their own set of Poker dice behind a screen, and bid and call based on Poker dice hands. The remaining 8 faces featured stars and acted as wild cards allowing for every possible poker hand to be rolled.Ī variant of Liar's dice is commonly used with Poker dice. The sets featured five 12-sided dice allowing for all 52 playing cards to be represented. In 1974, Aurora produced a set of 12-sided poker dice called " Jimmy the Greek Odds Maker Poker Dice" and in 2000, Aurora/Rex Games produced a similar set under the name "Royal Poker Dice". A similar set is currently manufactured by Koplow Games. Marlboro once marketed a set of octahedral poker dice that included suits each die had slightly different numberings, ranging from 7 up to ace. Consequently, in some variants of the rules, straights are counted as busts. In poker dice there are in fact only four possible bust hands:, ,, and both other no-pair hands (i.e., in which either the A or the 9 are missing) are straights. At first glance they appeared to be standard Poker Dice but upon closer examination I found that the number faces are 7 & 8 (rather than the usual. *Busts have much lower probability than in card poker, because there are only 6 values instead of 13, making pairs and straights much more likely than with cards. (not sorted by probability but from highest to lowest ranking): The poker dice hand rankings and the corresponding probabilities of rolling that hand are as follows

A Flush beats a Four of a Kind (as in card poker, and correctly reflecting its lower probability).
SPANISH POKER DICE FULL
Under these rules, a Straight beats a Full House (unlike in card poker, but correctly reflecting its probability) but does not beat a Four of a Kind (incorrectly reflecting its lower probability). Each one has an exact probability of 120 / 7776. In some rules, only a straight to a King is called a Straight, while a straight to an Ace is called (somewhat incorrectly) a Flush. Neither a "flush" nor a "straight flush" is a possible hand, due to the lack of suits on the dice. A Straight is less probable than a Full House, so, if counted, it should rank above a Full House, though tradition usually ranks it below Full House, as in card poker. In most variations, a straight only counts as a Bust (high-card). After the three rolls, the best hand wins. Each player has a total of 3 rolls and the ability to hold dice in between rolls. The classic poker dice game is played with 5 dice and two or more players.
