If you are like me and enjoy playing dice games at online casinos and have ever wondered if any strategies can be used to improve your gameplay, you’re not alone. Over the past few years, I’ve actually come across a few helpful strategies that have made me a better player.
However, I would say that most of these strategies are more about gambling responsibly and managing my bankroll than they are about actual dice gameplay strategies.
The thing to remember about these games is that, unlike blackjack or poker, where certain strategies can be used in specific situations to affect the outcome, dice games are different.
It’s all about luck. In other words, there are no real gameplay strategies that can be used, especially when playing dice online at a fully licensed and regulated online casino.
Let’s dive straight in so I can explain in greater detail how you can improve your dice gameplay online. Applying one or more of these strategies will hopefully extend your average session time (it doesn’t guarantee it), giving you much longer sessions to play your favourite titles.
What Types Of Dice Games Can I Play Online?
Most dice games played over the internet are computer-generated and use highly sophisticated mathematical algorithm programs called RNGs (Random Number Generators) to produce fair and realistic outcomes that mimic the true randomness of real life.
In contrast, all of the other dice games I have played online in recent years are highly sophisticated live dealer dice games that DON’T use RNGs to produce the outcomes/results each round.
Instead, these ones rely on good old lady luck, not a computer program, to determine the results. They are streamed live [in real time] and presented to you by human dealers in a casino setting from one of several licensed television studios.
There are well over 100 individual titles to choose from, and most of them are variants of traditional dice games like Craps or Sic Bo.
However, I’ve also found a few dice-themed online slot machines and one or two other games that are well worth checking out if you’re looking for something different to play for a chance, especially if you enjoy playing dice games, bingo and lottery-style games, and online slots, don’t forget to look out for some of these hit titles.
Examples include the following:
- Dice Dice Dice
- Dice Rush
- Dicey Fruits
- Wicked Dice
- Snakes & Ladders Megadice
- 88 Fortunes Dice
- Harlequin Dice
When I’m looking to take my online casino dice experience to the next level, I head straight to the live dealer casino and look for blockbuster titles from top-tier providers, such as Playtech, Pragmatic Play, and Evolution Gaming.
Some of my favourite live dealer dice variants include Live Football Studio Dice, Live Sic Bo, Live Craps, Live Lightning Dice, and Live Mega Sic Bo, to name a few. You may also like to try Live Sic Bo Deluxe, and Snakes & Ladders Live.
The important thing to remember about these dice games is that the computer-generated ones are often available in the free-play and real money modes, meaning you can practice on them without spending your hard-earned cash, whereas the live dealer games are usually never available in the free-play mode, only the real money mode.
Tips For Improving Your Dice Gameplay
If you want to become a good dice player, it’s important to learn the basic rules and terminology for those games before playing. The rules are relatively easy to find in most games and should only take a minute or so to read.
The quickest and easiest ways to improve your game and make your bankroll stretch further are the following:
- When playing complex dice games like craps from your PC or mobile device, it’s important to learn the many different bet types and payouts/implied probability rates. Learning this can help you place far more informed/strategic bets
- When playing computer-generated online dice, consider looking for ones with a 95.00% to 96.00% or higher return to player (RTP%) payout rate because they are more likely to pay than lower RTP% payout rate games
- Only ever play dice online on legally permitted sites with software from well-established, market-leading software providers
- Gamble responsibly at all times by setting a sensible spending budget, to begin with, and by using as many safer gambling tools as possible, such as spending caps, session time reminders, win/loss limits, and daily/weekly/monthly deposit limits
- Never play dice while tired or under the influence
- Start by placing low stakes (which could be $/€/£0.10 to $/€/£0.50 per round, depending on the game) until you get good at playing, and then consider raising your stake after you’ve improved
- Where possible, practice playing online dice games using your fun balance in the risk-free mode. When you have familiarised yourself with the rules, you can then think about switching to the real money mode
- Always check the total stake value before playing a round of dice
- Never treat playing dice as a way to make a living
Final Thoughts
As you can see, most of these strategies align more with being a sensible gambler. Gambling responsibly is something that players, myself included, tend to overlook. However, I cannot stress just how important it is to set your limits when signing up anywhere to play.
The other sound piece of advice that I live by is to never chase my losses.
The easiest way for me to do this is to take advantage of the safer gambling tools, which I strongly suggest you do, too, especially if you plan on playing dice games online in the real money mode.
