For a classic Chinese dice game, try your hand at Roll the Dice, otherwise known as Hoo Hey How and Fish-Prawn-Crab. The game screen consists of seven betting squares that each contain an animation; there’s a fish, prawn, crab, coin, rooster, calabash and a triple (three dice). Simply bet on the squares you like and roll the dice. If your selections show up on any of the three dice, you get paid. If you bet the triple and land three matching icons, you get the big bucks: a 30:1 payday.
Payouts
1:1 for one matching symbol
2:1 for two matching symbols
3:1 for three matching symbols
30:1 for any triple
***********************
Am I right that the game has two distinctive bets - one with 7.87% edge and the other with a huge 13.89% (30*6/216-210/216)?
Quote: MattUKBovada/Ignition has a new version of Fish Prawn Crab. With a huge fanfare, they had added 30:1 for any triple.

Let's see what we have here for this simple dice game:
The first thing that we have to look at is say we pick an animal, I'm going to go with the rooster, because some people say I'm cocky, so we want anywhere from one to three roosters. The probability of a die not being a rooster is 5/6, so let's start there:
(5/6 * 5/6 * 5/6) * -1 = -0.5787037037
Okay, with that, let's take a look at the three ways we could match one fish:
(1/6 * 5/6 * 5/6) + (5/6 * 1/6 * 5/6) + (5/6 * 5/6 * 1/6) = 0.34722222222
Okay, let's look at two fish:
((1/6 * 1/6 * 5/6) + (5/6 * 1/6 * 1/6) + (1/6 * 5/6 * 1/6)) *2 = .13888888888
Finally, three roosters:
(1/6 * 1/6 * 1/6) * 3 = 0.01388888888
And, combine:
0.01388888888+.13888888888+0.34722222222-0.5787037037 = -0.07870370372
7.87% on picking a symbol, good call!
Next, we have to take a look at the any triple, which is very simple. The first symbol literally doesn't matter, then the next two have to match:
(6/6 * 1/6 * 1/6) * 30 = 0.83333333333
(1-(6/6 * 1/6 * 1/6)) = 0.97222222222
0.833333333 - .9722222222 = -0.1388888892
House Edge of 13.89%, you win again! Unless you play this game, of course.
The moral of the story is: If you like dice, play Craps!
Actually I wanted to ask the Wizard for a basic strategy table on their Single Deck Blackjack. I hear it's 99.92+0.04%, the best blackjack in the galaxy. Here it is:
