Is Dice Poker free here?

Yes. You play right in your browser with no sign-up and no download, and there is nothing to buy.

Can several people play on one phone?

Yes. In pass-and-play mode two to four people take turns on the same phone or tablet, each with their own column on the scorecard.

How does the Five of a Kind joker work?

Once the Five of a Kind box is filled, a further Five of a Kind must go into its upper box if that is open. Otherwise it scores in full in any open lower box, also as a Full House or straight. With 50 in the Five of a Kind box you also get a 50 point bonus.

Are my highscore and statistics saved?

Yes. Without an account the game in progress, highscores and statistics stay in this browser; with a PanicLines account they are kept in your account and are the same on every device.

Dice Poker Online – Solo, vs Computer or Friends

Play Dice Poker online for free

Dice Poker is the popular game of five dice and a scorecard: roll up to three times, hold the dice you need and enter the result in one of 13 boxes – from Ones to Five of a Kind. The highest total wins.

On PanicLines you play for free in your browser on phone, tablet and computer, with no download and no sign-up. Beat your own highscore solo, take on one to three computers at three levels, or play with up to four people on one device; a solo game takes about five minutes.

Rules

Each turn has up to three rolls. After the first and second roll you hold any dice and roll only the rest again.
Then you enter the result in one open box of your scorecard. If nothing fits, you score a box with 0. After 13 turns the card is full.
Upper section: Ones to Sixes count the pips of the matching dice. Reach 63 points there for a 35 point bonus.
Lower section: Three and Four of a Kind (sum of all dice), Full House (25), Small Straight (30), Large Straight (40), Five of a Kind (50) and Chance (sum).
Every further Five of a Kind earns a 50 point bonus and acts as a joker: first into its upper box, otherwise into any open lower box for full points.

Modes and computer levels

Solo: you against your own highscore. Your best games and statistics are saved.
Against the computer with one to three opponents: Easy simply holds the most frequent number, Medium holds by expected value, Hard calculates every roll of the turn and plays for the bonus.
Pass and play: two to four named players pass the phone around.

Controls

Tap Roll, then tap the dice you want to hold; held dice lift and glow gold.
Your column on the scorecard shows what each open box would score right now. Tap the row to enter it.
The computer's turns play out step by step; Skip jumps ahead. On a computer, keys 1 to 5 hold dice and R rolls.

Tips and strategy

Watch the bonus: three of each number make exactly 63. Four sixes easily make up for weak ones.
Save the Chance: it is your safety net for a failed turn. Use it early and you will have to score zeros more often later.
Keep straights open: with four in a row (say 2-3-4-5) the Small Straight is safe and you have two rolls for the Large one.
Sacrifice the Ones: if you have to score a zero, Ones or Five of a Kind cost the least.
