Six Shooter

Six Shooter is a casino game by 1x2 software. I just stumbled upon it today. It is a simple dice game where the object is to roll in as few throws as possible every face represented in the six-dice throw of the dealer.



Please click the link above for all the rules and my analysis. I hate to give a free outgoing link to an Internet casino, but you can also play it here.

This game makes for a good homework assignment in combinatorial mathematics. So, get to work.

The question for the poll is would you play Six Shooter?

The tables on the Six Shooter page still have the header from "Shake the Plate".

Thanks -- fixed.

The pay table right under the rules has the pays for 1 and 3 rolls switched.

Thank you.

While I have you, can I trouble you to address the change in the recipe for McNuggets in the How to eat 200 McNuggets thread.

I wouldn't play it because of the house edge, but I think it is a decent game idea that will be reasonably fun for some people. In a land-based casino, even with the house edge, I could be talked into playing a few rounds if I was with someone who wanted to.

I also think it is a decent game for the casinos themselves because the house edge is easily adjustable.

The first thing that comes to mind is Yatzee!... and needing to roll a large straight. Basically, I don't think it'll happen all that much with the 3 rolls you're given, thus I'm presuming the house edge is a bit higher. They should give you 4 rolls. Then it would be interesting =).

Ah, of course in my haste I didn't realize it was match the dealer. Still doesn't seem all that likely, but at least a "little" bit better than I originally thought. If you get lucky and the dealer rolls all of one number, that would be the best case scenario I guess.

I would suggest the same thing, of course. One aspect of the game that I think is interesting, (and I'm not inclined to do the math on it) but I would think it would be a somewhat rare occurrence for a player to get down to the last roll and literally not have a chance...the dealer would have to have four unique numbers remaining.

Yeah that would be no fun as well..

Actually in just looking at the numbers, why not just make the pay table more clean??? 10 - 2 - 1 would make the game cleaner and a HE of 2.48%.
