Poker dice are
dice which, instead of having number pips, have representations of
playing cards upon them.
Poker dice have six sides, one each of an
Ace,
King,
Queen,
Jack, ten and nine, and are used to form a
poker hand. Neither a "flush" nor a "straight flush" is a possible hand, due to the lack of
suits on the dice.
Poker Dice Rules
The classic poker dice game is played with 5 dice. Each player has a total of 3 rolls and the ability to hold dice in between rolls. After the three rolls the best hand wins.
