Poker Dice poker
1) Dice that have card symbols, usually ranking from 9 through
ace, one of each, on each die, three, four, or five of which
are shaken in a cup and then thrown out. When several players
compete, the player throwing the best poker hand combination
wins. Sometimes players are allowed to "draw" to a
hand, by leaving some of the dice on the table or counter top
and shaking and tossing the remainder.
2) A set of five ordinary dice, thrown similarly for poker hands.
Flushes are not possible, but pairs, aces through sixes, two
pair, and so on, and two straights (1-2-3-4-5 and 2-3-4-5-6)
are possible.
