Scratch Dice is one of the easiest games I've ever analyzed. Please look over my new page on the game. As always, I welcome comments, questions, and especially corrections.
The question for the poll is would you play Scratch Dice?

You don't get a winner often enough for the game to be any fun.

What guarantee is there that the dice have even distribution of results?
I mean we're talking about a representation of a scratch off ticket, not of dice themselves.
State run lotteries that use dice or cards on the tickets make no statement about the randomness or equal distribution of the dice results or shuffle.
I admit I'm kinda reaching here, and the edge calculated does suggest a certain fairness, but....
I assume it's fair, but also would not be surprised to see a disproportionate number of losers that have pairs, and that the middle die is part of the pair way more than 2/3 of the time.
But to answer the poll, nope. Too boring.

Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood? 😁

None. However, the return seems in line for a game of luck assuming fair dice.
