If three dice are tossed, a trial is one toss of one die and the experiment is composed of three trials.

If the shooter " hits " the point value again ( any value of the dice that sum to the point will do ; the shooter doesn't have to exactly repeat the value combination of the come-out roll ) before rolling a seven, the Pass line wins and a new round starts, usually with the dice staying with the current shooter.

If the shooter rolls any seven before repeating the point number ( a " seven-out "), the Pass line loses and the dice pass to a new shooter for the next round.

If an individual coin toss or the roll of dice is considered to be a random event, then if repeated many times the sequence of random events will exhibit certain patterns, which can be studied and predicted.

If any of these botch dice show a zero, the character has botched-failed in some disastrous way ; if none of the botch dice turn up zeroes, then the die-roll is treated as a zero.

If the neutral markers are on the board, but only in columns that cannot be made with any pair of the current four dice, the turn is over and the player gains nothing.

The official rules merely say " If you can place a marker, you must ...", not stating if that applies before or after a player decides how to subdivide the four dice.

If a player does not roll any pairs during his turn, the dice are passed to the player on the right.

* If all the pawns are outside the jail, the values below the dice can also be used.

If an amount on one or both of the dice cannot be moved, that amount is forfeited.

At one time, it was assumed in the physical sciences that if the behavior observed in a system cannot be predicted, the problem is due to lack of fine-grained information, so that a sufficiently detailed investigation would eventually result in a deterministic theory (" If you knew exactly all the forces acting on the dice, you would be able to predict which number comes up ").

If a series is analysed which is known to be random – fair dice falls, or computer-generated pseudo-random numbers – and a trend line is fitted through the data, the chances of a truly zero estimated trend are negligible.

If the host's dice are higher, the character fails.

If the player rolls one or both dice off the table, house rules vary.

If the dice show a lesser value than that announced, the passer loses a life and the receiving player starts a new round.

* If other doubles are rolled, the player adds twice the value of the dice to the turn total.

If the current player challenges the current bid, all dice are revealed.

* If he believes the roller, he simply takes the dice ( without looking at the result ), rolls, and claims a higher scoring roll.

Devilish Die-Fourth Folio, page 383-Karl Fulves commenting on this effect: " If an award were granted for an effect relying on outrageous ingenuity to achieve the desired end, Mr. Walton's dice trick would rate first prize.

If the objects face up on the dice are the same as the objects you put money on, you double it.

If the roller wins the challenge, they can go again, but if they lose, the dice are handed to the next player.

If for any reason the dice were to leave the playing area ( ex: rolling off of the table and hitting the floor ) the player would be deemed an automatic loss.
