How to Play Lightning Dice
Playing Lightning Dice is easy. All you have to do is watch the dealer roll 3 dice and guess what the total number of all three dice will be. If you are right, you will get paid according to the paytable.
To play Lightning Dice, simply follow the steps below:
Step 1: Place your bets
You place your bet on what you think the total value of all three dice will be after the roll. Lightning dice allows you to place bets on as many numbers as possible. You can choose to bet on only one number or even all the numbers.
The betting chips available include 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 2000, and 2x(double). You bet by using the drag and drop on the betting layout.
To bet on all the numbers easily, there is a “Bet on all” button available. You will see a timer counting down to show you how many seconds you have left for betting.
Step 2: Wait while the dealer rolls the dice
After the betting round is closed, the dealer rolls the dice. She does this by putting the dice on top of the machine and then steps down to pull a handle. The machine rolls the dice, and you watch as they all come down.
Once the dealer has dropped the dice, the lightning process also begins. This means that some numbers will be chosen at random. The chosen number will receive a bigger payout. You can see this process clearly on the screen as it happens.
Step 3: Check the outcome
The machine rolls the dice and they all drop to the bottom. At that moment, the camera closes in for you to see the outcome of the roll. The winning number will be seen clearly and also announced by the dealer. Payouts are then made if you win.
Bet Options
The betting process in Lightning Dice is so simple. You can only bet on what the total sum of the three dice roll will be. There are no other options to bet on.
In the image above, you will see all the numbers you can bet on and their payout. The numbers are from 3 to 18.

The payouts in lightning dice, as seen on the table, is the multiplier x stake.
The probabilities of getting the combinations are not the same. Some of the combinations come more frequently than the other. For this reason, the payouts for less likely numbers are higher.
For example, there is only one way of combining numbers on each die to get a total of 18. That is by getting 6 on all three dice. This is less likely to occur, and that is why the payout is higher.
To get a total of 10, there are 27 different ways the numbers on each die can combine. As a result, 10 is more likely but the payout is lower.

In lightning dice, only a few numbers can become multipliers. The multipliers are randomly selected after you have placed your bet. This is the same as the lightning process explained before in this guide.
If your bet wins and your number is one of the randomly chosen multipliers, you get a higher price. You will be paid what the multiplier is, with your stake returned.

Lightning Dice Strategy
Never bet on all numbers
In lightning dice, there is no equal chance of hitting all numbers. Some numbers have the possibility of occurring more likely than others. Thus, it is not advisable to bet on all numbers.
However, in lightning roulette, there is an equal chance of hitting all numbers. Betting on all may work in such a game.
Bet on value numbers
Value numbers in lightning dice are those that have the possibility of appearing more. These include 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. Their main payouts are between 5x to 7x, but there is a higher probability of getting them.
Though the payouts are quite little compared to other bet options, you still get some decent cash. Moreover, you may be lucky enough to hit the 50x multiplier and cash out more.
You only need to bet at least 7 times to win with this strategy.
In theory, you need to bet with this strategy at least 7 times to make a win. However, you do not have the chance of getting huge payouts with this strategy.
Make small bets on number 3 and 18
The numbers with the highest payouts are 3 and 18, but they also have the lowest possibilities. Their basic payout is 150x, but you can have up to 1000x if you’re lucky enough.
Make small bets in order to not run out of money.
While it may be tempting to make huge bets on this, that may lead you to lose more. Both numbers appear less often; thus, you will need to make many bets to increase your chances.
In order not to run out of money, make small bets. Smaller bets allow you to play more rounds, thereby increasing your chances of winning.
