Roll 21 is similar to Blackjack but is played with two standard dice.

Play begins with each player making one or more of the following bets:

Hand Bet
The player is betting that the player hand will beat the dealer hand. There is a designated dice shooter each round. Each player in succession takes a turn rolling a series of two dice to get closer to 21, without going over (busting), than the house. For example, if it is Player 3's turn, each of the other players places their bets and then player 3 rolls two dice at a time. He must continue to roll two dice until he reaches 17 or busts. If the player busts, the dealer will collect all players’ bets, and the next round begins thereafter.

Once the player has reached a score of 17 or greater, the dealer must roll one die to determine the dealer’s score. The dealer’s die has 17, 18, 19, 20, bust and bust, on each of the six sides, respectively. Whoever has the higher score wins the hand bet. A winning hand bet pays even money. However, if the player hand is 21 after 2 rolls, the hand bet is paid 3 to 2 automatically. A tie is a push.

Side Bets
All the side bets are based on the hand bet and must be made before the first roll of the dice for the hand bet. No more bets can be made until the hand bet is resolved and a new round begins.

(A) 21 Bet
The player is betting that a 21 will be rolled in two or more rolls. The payoff odds are as follows:

Number of Rolls Pay (to 1)
2 Rolls Pays 15:1
3 Rolls Pays 3:1
4 Rolls Pays 15:1
5 Rolls Pays 50:1
6 or more rolls pays 500:1

(B) Three sevens in a row
The player is betting that three consecutive 7s will be rolled. The bet is paid 200 to 1. The bet loses as soon as a 7 is not rolled.

(C) Bust in two rolls
The player is betting that the player hand will bust in two rolls. The bet is paid 80 to 1.

(D) Tie
The player is betting that the player hand and the dealer hand will tie. The bet is paid 9 to 1.
