Dice Duel pits a red die against a blue one: in BetGames' words, the "dice with higher number wins". A presenter shakes both dice in a dice box and rolls them onto a lit table after a betting round of about 30 seconds. Besides the duel you can back the Draw, numbers, odd or even and totals. BetGames gives the RTP as 95%. At the odds in its demo, the bets return 93.75% to 95% by our sums.
RTP (return to player): the share of bets the game pays back over time, as BetGames publishes it.

Two dice, one roll: how a Dice Duel draw runs
BetGames rolls Dice Duel live in its studio with a red and a blue die, each numbered 1 to 6. The presenter shakes them in a dice box and rolls them onto a sloping, lit table with a marked place for the result.
A roll counts when both dice stand on a side inside that place: the numbers on top, each read with its colour, make one of 36 combinations. The higher die wins, and the results listed are red, draw and blue. BetGames does not define the Draw. Most likely it is a roll where neither die is higher.
There is one betting round per draw, and the game runs around the clock, apart from maintenance breaks.
28 bets in four tabs: odds, chances and returns
The 28 bets sit in four tabs: Main, Numbers, Odd / Even and Totals. Odds are those of BetGames' demo, not a casino's. Returns are our sums, with all 36 combinations equally likely.
| Bet | Demo odds | Winning combinations | Return, our sum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red dice wins or Blue dice wins | 2.25 | 15 | 93.75% |
| Draw | 5.70 | 6 | 95.00% |
| Chosen number on the red or the blue die | 5.70 | 6 | 95.00% |
| Chosen red and blue pair | 34.00 | 1 | 94.44% |
| Red, blue or total odd, or even | 1.90 | 18 | 95.00% |
| Red or blue die under or over 3.5 | 1.90 | 18 | 95.00% |
| Total under 4.5 or over 9.5 | 5.70 | 6 | 95.00% |
| Total over 4.5 or under 9.5 | 1.14 | 30 | 95.00% |
| Total under 5.5 or over 8.5 | 3.40 | 10 | 94.44% |
| Total over 5.5 or under 8.5 | 1.30 | 26 | 93.89% |
| Total under 6.5 or over 7.5 | 2.25 | 15 | 93.75% |
| Total over 6.5 or under 7.5 | 1.62 | 21 | 94.50% |
Why the duel bets return less
BetGames gives one RTP, 95%, and at the demo's odds 17 of the 28 bets return exactly that. They are the Draw, a number on either die, all six odd or even bets, the four 3.5 lines and the totals against 4.5 and 9.5. The other 11 return less.
The lowest, 93.75%, include the bets the game is named for. Red dice wins pays 2.25 and covers 15 of the 36 combinations, so over many rolls the house keeps 6.25% of stakes, against 5% on the Draw.
Totals follow the shape of two dice: 7 is the sum most combinations make, 6 of the 36. The outer lines, 4.5 and 9.5, return 95% on both sides, while from 5.5 to 8.5 each side returns between 93.75% and 94.5%.
In rand, at the demo's odds: 100 draws at R10 on Red dice wins cost about R62.50 on average, against R50 at 95%. R10 on each colour does not lift the return. The R20 brings back R22.50 when the dice differ and nothing on a Draw, 93.75% again.
When the roll is repeated or the draw cancelled
- Roll again. The roll is repeated if a die stops on its edge, cannot be read, falls off the table or covers the zone's line. The same applies if the dice were rolled before betting closed or something falls onto the table.
- Cancelled draw. If the repeated roll goes wrong too, the draw can be cancelled, as it can for an internet or studio fault.
- Sound, calls and your connection. Lost sound or a wrong announcement is settled by the video. If a dropped connection or a power cut at your end keeps you from watching, the draw still counts when the archive holds its broadcast.
- Claims. Disputes over a result or a technical fault go to the casino, at the latest 30 days after the draw.
Placing bets and pairing them with other draws
Dice Duel has the two betting modes of Wheel of Fortune. Casino Chips Mode is the default, and Betslip Mode, with more bet types, opens once the chips toggle is off in Settings. The chips layout has three positions: red and blue at 2.25, grey at 5.70, the Draw. Stake limits are the casino's.
A combination joins two different bets, and both must win. The second bet can come from Lucky 7, Lucky 5, Lucky 6 or Wheel of Fortune. BetGames' example pairs a red-die number at 5.70 with a Lucky 6 bet at 5.00 for total odds of 28.50. At the demo's odds, a duel bet at 93.75% paired with a 95% bet returns about 89%.
Dice Duel RTP and volatility
BetGames gives Dice Duel's return to player as 95%.
BetGames rates the volatility as low, but in Dice Duel the bet you pick moves it: a bet at short odds wins often and pays little, one at long odds rarely wins and pays a lot.
