General Tips:
1. Read the directions before playing.
2. You are only allowed to earn 5,000 NP per day, but if your last hand wins more, you still get credit. So, try to win as close to 4,990 NP as you can, then on the last hand, bet the maximum.
3. Your winnings consist of all the antes, so the actual amount you win is 3 times the amount you bet.
4. The most consecutive wins I ever had was 8, and usually they don’t go over 4 or 5. So, if you have won 3 or 4 hands in a row and don’t feel lucky, just bet 10 NP.
Now for the strategy!
1. Never keep more than one die per roll unless you have a winner or only one bad number out of all the dice.
2. On the first two rolls, try to get a 6.
3. The priority for keeping a die on the first roll is: 6, 4, 5, then 1.
4. The priority for keeping a die on the second roll is the same, but don’t keep the 4 or 1 if you already have that qualifier.
5. Watch your opponents’ hands on the last roll. If you already have them beat, don’t take a risk! If you are tied with the opponent with the best hand you should roll only if you have less than a 3 showing. Remember – there are six numbers on the die, so the chances of getting a particular number is 1 in 6, or only about 16%. If you are trying for a 4, 5 or 6, the odds are obviously better (about 50/50).
And one last thing to remember – you get a bonus of 1,000 NP for several consecutive “perfect” hands (6,6,6,6,4,1). I haven’t counted, but it seems to give me this on every 10th perfect hand. This is important if you are trying to earn 7,990 NP because if you bet 1,000 NP while you have already earned 1,950 NP and you roll the perfect hand that gives you the bonus, you will only earn 5,950 NP for that day.
