Abstract

In methods for playing wagering games, a player is afforded an opportunity to place a wager, and then the dealer rolls four dice and sums the total to obtain the dealer's score. The player is then afforded an opportunity to select to roll one, two, three, or four dice in an effort to beat the dealer's score. The player then rolls the selected number of dice, and sums the total to obtain the player's score. If the player's score is greater than the dealer's score, the player wins the wager according to a predetermined pay table, with fewer dice rolled to beat the dealer's score resulting in higher monetary awards. Apparatus for playing wagering games is also disclosed.
