Crypto dice games
Crypto dice is a number from 0 to 100 and one choice: roll over or under a line you set. Move the line and you trade win chance for payout. The house edge is in the formula, and you can see it.
Dice, coin flip and mines
How the payout is set
The game turns your win chance into a multiplier. With a 1% house edge the multiplier is 99 ÷ win chance.
| Win chance | Multiplier | ₦1,000 bet pays on a win |
|---|---|---|
| 90% | 1.10x | ₦1,100 |
| 49.5% | 2.00x | ₦2,000 |
| 25% | 3.96x | ₦3,960 |
| 10% | 9.90x | ₦9,900 |
| 1% | 99x | ₦99,000 |
A fair game would pay 100 ÷ win chance. The difference, 1% here, is the house edge. Whatever line you choose, you lose about ₦10 per ₦1,000 staked on average.
Why systems fail
- Raising the bet after a loss (martingale) only works until a losing streak meets your bankroll. At 49.5%, ten losses in a row happen about once in every thousand series.
- Switching over and under changes nothing: every roll is independent.
- Auto bet makes losses faster, not smaller. Use a stop-loss if you use it at all.
Checking a roll
Most crypto dice games are provably fair. Note the hashed server seed, play, rotate the seed, then verify a roll with the seeds and the nonce. See provably fair.
Dice and its cousins
- Coin flip: a dice game fixed at about 50%.
- Mines: pick tiles on a grid; each safe tile raises the multiplier, a mine ends the round.
- Live dice games: real dice in a studio with multipliers, such as Lightning Dice, run by live casino studios, not provably fair.
Questions about crypto dice
What is the house edge in crypto dice?
It is set by the site, often around 1%. You can work it out: multiply the payout by the win chance and compare with 100.
Which win chance is best?
None changes the average. Low chances give rare big wins; high chances give frequent small ones.
Is dice better than slots?
On average, a 1% dice game keeps less of your money than most slots, but it is also very fast, which can make you bet more.
Can I play dice for very small amounts?
Usually yes, with tiny minimum bets. That is useful for checking provably fair results.
