How it works
Placing the 6 or 8 pays 7:6. Betting the Big 6 or Big 8 in the corner pays even money. Same number, same risk, very different price: 1.52% vs 9.09%. Always bet placed 6 and 8 in $6 units so they pay cleanly.

Dice from a cryptographic random generator, standard Vegas payouts, and 1,000,000+ trials per bet. For everyday bets the simulated edge lands within a fraction of a percent of the exact math. Bets with rare jackpots (like a 999:1 Fire Bet) swing more from run to run, so we quote the exact house edge alongside the simulated one.
