POKER DICE
[source: John Scarne, "Scarne on Dice"]

Similar in some ways to Indian Dice. It is usually played with five
poker dice whose sides bear the playing card denominations: Ace, King,
Queen, Jack, Ten and Nine although the usual spotted dice are some-
times used, Ace being high followed by 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2 in that order.
The Ace is also sometimes played wild.

Any number can play and each player throws one die to determine
the order of play, highest man going first, next highest second, and so
on.

The object is to throw the highest poker hand in either one or two
throws as desired.After the first throw, the player may stand pat or may
draw (as in draw poker) by throwing one, two or three of the dice
again. The object is to secure high poker hands which rank as follows:
five of a kind, four of a kind, full house, straight (any five cards or
numbers in numerical sequence), three of a kind, two pair, one pair.

The extra die or dice not included in one of the above hands do
not have any value. If a player throws 4 jacks, for instance, the fifth die
does not help to decide the winner in case of ties. Tying players throw
off. In the two-handed game the best three hands out of five win.
