What is Poker Dice?

Series Summary

People have been playing dice games for thousands of years, whether for money, property, or just for fun. Any type of dice game that has been played has revolved around one special act: the roll. Rolling the dice is significant because there is no way, within the rules of play, to control the outcome. For this reason, the phrase “roll the dice” has come to be associated with taking big risks or letting go of control. Based upon the numbers that show on the top of each die, the rules of a dice game dictate what actions should be taken. Games involving betting, drinking, or skill are all built upon this basic principal. Poker dice are dice which, instead of having number pips, have representations of playing cards upon them. Poker dice have six sides, one each of an Ace, King, Queen, Jack, ten and nine, and are used to form a poker hand. In this free video series, a poker player will teach poker dice with examples and instructions. Starting with explanations of the poker dice themselves and moving on to making hands, and telling the difference between good and bad hands, you'll learn everything you need to know to play poker dice. Learn strategy, keep score, and throw in some poker chips for a little extra fun!
