According to historical consensus, the first methods humans devised to gamble against one another involved rudimentary dice fashioned from shells and bones. Over the millennia, dice contests evolved into an English game known as "hazard" in which shooters sought to hit a seven and the two and three were instant losers.

Poker Dice is a dice game that combines the best features of poker and craps. It was released in 2012 on several iGaming networks, including William Hill and Intertops. The house takes the Ante bet for itself before paying out the posted prize. The best possible hand in Poker Dice pays out 20 to 1 on the wager. Players will break even on almost a quarter of all rolls and lose outright on 52.46 percent of plays. In the game, the odds of hitting a perfect Five of a Kind using only five dice are just 0.07 percent.

Chuck-a-Luck is a classic dice game.

Chuck-a-Luck rolls begin with three standard six-sided dice placed in a special container known as the “birdcage” The player chooses between five betting options. The best bets in Chuck- a-luck are the Single Die and the Field at 3.70 percent. Big, Small, and Any Triple wagers inflict a massive house edge of 25 percent and are some of the worst bets.

The player chooses a single die and bets on the sum of three dice to equal 11. The player hopes to see the three-dice total is 10 or lower to earn an even money reward. If the player bets that all three of the dice will match any three numbers, the payout is juicy at 30 to 1.

Dazzling Dice is a fusion of Poker Dice and slot machines. It's a basic slot machine screen layout with 12 pay lines and a 5×5 reel grid alignment. The premium hand is Five of a Kind with its generous 100 for 1 payout. Just like in Poker dice, the player loses 75.61 percent of their bets. The win probabilities in Dazzled Dice are almost identical to Poker.

Casino Craps is the most popular dice game. Other dice games have failed to improve upon the original.   The trio of failed craps variants found above clearly demonstrates.
