A staple at Filipino town fairs and festivals. It’s a simple, fast-bet game where players place wagers on colored squares printed on a mat or board — usually red, blue, green, yellow, white, and black.
Instead of rolling dice with numbers, the Color Game uses color dice — cubes where each face is a different color. After bets are placed, the dealer throws three dice into a box. The winning colors are whichever colors land face-up.
If your chosen color appears once, you win your bet amount.
If it appears twice, you double your win.
If it appears three times, you triple your win! (A rare but exciting moment.)
Each die rolls independently, and each face has an equal chance of appearing: 57.87% chance of not appearing, 34.72% chance of appearing one time, 6.94% for twice, and 0.46% for three times.
Tip: Bet on 2 or 3 colors to increase your odds of winning.
