Abstract
A method of playing a dice game between a first and second player. A first and second plurality of dice combinations having an equal probability of occurrence are defined. No combination in the second plurality of possible dice combinations is the same as any combination in the first plurality of possible dice combinations. The first player throws the dice to obtain an actual dice combination and wins if the first plurality of occurrences is the same as this actual combination. The second player wins if the actual dice combination matches the second plurality of occurrences. If neither player wins, the first player again throws the dice until one of the players wins.
