Whether you're the banker raking it in or the unlucky soul getting hustled, one thing’s for sure: Cee-Lo never shows mercy. Play smart, set your house rules, and don’t bet real money—unless you’re ready to lose it.

Roll a winning combination (like 456 or triples).
Beat the banker’s set point if you're a player.
Have all players fail to beat your set point if you're the banker.

Set Up

Game Play

Each round follows this sequence:

Banker Rolls First:
- 456: Automatic win. Banker takes the pot.
- 123: Automatic loss. Banker pays all bets.
- Triple: Beats all points.
- Set Point: A pair and a third die set the point. The third die's value is the point to beat. This is the most likely roll.
- If none of those sequences are rolled the Banker re-rolls until one comes up.
Players Roll Against the Banker:
- Players must beat the banker’s point, roll a triple, or get a 456.
- Rolling a lower point loses the bet.
- Rolling an equal point is a push, often doubling the next round's bet.
