Abstract: Players place bets. A 36 card deck with the tens, Jacks, Queens, and Kings removed from a standard 52 card deck is dealt into eight piles of four cards each in front of a house dealer. A player/dealer chooses an action pile from the eight. A roll of three dice establishes who receives the action pile. The last four cards and any cards at vacant player positions are discarded. Players each create a front hand of two cards and a back hand of two cards of higher value than the pair of cards in the front hand. The player/dealer turns over his/her cards to the face side for both front and back hands. Each player in turn, beginning with the action hand, compares front and back hands with those of the player/dealer. Betting chips are paid or taken by the dealer/player depending on the comparative value of the player hands to the dealer hands.

Abstract: A dice game is provided that has a dice mounted on a vertical central shaft for spinning the dice. The dice piece has a top and bottom surface, a circular perimeter, a vertical center hole through the dice piece from top to the bottom surface and a series of adjacent different number bearing faces positioned vertically around its perimeter. The vertical shaft is friction fit and slidably adjustable within the vertical center hole, protruding on each end of the dice. One end of the shaft is for the player to grasp and spin, the other for the dice to spin upon. The adjustable shaft provides variations to the spin and balance properties of the system. The system also includes a smooth horizontal spinning surface, a cover removably placeable over the spinning surface, a sound absorbing container below the horizontal spinning surface, and a betting surface.
