What is Die Rich Craps?

Die Rich answers a fun question: what's the smallest possible game of craps? One die, one bet, and the same come-out-then-point heartbeat as the full casino table.

Quick answer: Die Rich is craps played with one die instead of two. On the come-out a 6 wins even money and a 1 loses; anything else - 2, 3, 4 or 5 - becomes your point, which you must roll again before a 1 shows. It's the fastest, simplest table on the site.

How Die Rich works

Bet, then roll a single die. A 6 wins even money on the spot; a 1 loses. Any other face - 2, 3, 4 or 5 - becomes your point. In the point phase, rolling your point again wins even money, rolling a 1 loses, and everything else just keeps the roll going. That's the entire rulebook - the come-out/point structure of full craps shrunk onto six faces.

The one-die math

With one die every face is a flat 1-in-6, which makes the probabilities refreshingly honest. The come-out wins and loses equally often - one face each. Once a point is set, each roll is a clean three-way: your point (win), the 1 (lose), or roll again. Point chases are dead-even races, which gives Die Rich a fair, coin-flip feel that two-dice craps, with its lopsided 7, never has.

Who it's for

Die Rich is the ideal palate cleanser: sessions are quick, the rules fit in a sentence, and there's no layout to study - just you against the 1. It's also a gentle first step to point-based thinking before graduating to the full table. Note it's a solo table - for racing friends, pick one of the two-dice games in multiplayer.
