Dice Games

Online dice games: how dice games work at Napoleon Dice

Dice games are games of chance in which dice take the place of the classic symbols on a slot machine. In Belgium, you play online dice games with an operator holding a B+ licence, such as Napoleon. On this page you can read which types of dice games exist, how a round works and how to try a game before you stake real money. The full collection is in the overview of all dice games.

What types of dice games are there?

Grid games with dice

In this type you receive columns of three dice and choose which grid to place them on. Matching symbols in a row, horizontally or diagonally, form lines and score points. With enough points or special symbols, a prize wheel often starts. Well known examples are Mega Wheels, Infinity Dice and Dice Spinner. Where you place a column decides which lines you can form. Which dice you receive remains entirely random.

Dice slots

Dice slots work like a slot machine: reels spin and stop, and you win when matching symbols land on a payline. The difference is in the symbols: dice instead of fruit or cards. Many dice slots are versions of well known slot machines, such as Hot Cubes or Dice of Magic. More titles are in the dice slots category.

Wheel games and mystery prizes

Some dice games revolve mainly around a prize wheel. In Mystery Deal, a wheel starts once you reach a certain number of points, and on every spin you decide whether to keep the prize or spin again. That choice does not change the random nature of the wheel itself.

Dice games with a jackpot

In a jackpot game, a round can pay a fixed or progressive jackpot on top of the regular wins. Super Wheels Progressive, for example, has a prize wheel with a progressive jackpot. You will find an overview in the jackpots category.

How does a round work?

Most dice games follow the same pattern:

1. You choose your stake per round. The game shows the minimum and maximum stake.
2. You start the round. In a dice slot the reels spin, in a grid game you receive dice to place.
3. The game checks whether you have a winning combination and shows the result.
4. If you trigger a special feature, a bonus round follows, such as a wheel or a series of extra spins.

The rules of each game, available through the information icon, explain which combinations pay and how the extra features work. Read them before you start, because every game works slightly differently.

Play dice games for free in demo mode

A demo is the easiest way to compare grid games, wheel games and dice slots side by side. You play with virtual credits and see how placing dice works, when a prize wheel starts and how the paylines of a dice slot run. What a demo does not do is predict a real round.

If you then switch to real money, you need an account and the Belgian rules apply.

Playing dice games in Belgium

Dice games have a long history in Belgian gaming halls. Online, the rules are clear: you must be at least 21, your identity is checked and a default deposit limit of 200 euros per week per website applies. The B+ licence from the Belgian Gaming Commission is the licence under which these games are offered online.

A few practical tips for choosing a game:

• Pick the game type you enjoy. Grid games ask you to place dice, dice slots play on their own.
• Check the stake per round. It differs per game.
• Read the game rules. They explain how features and jackpots work.
• Decide in advance how much you want to play. Use the limits in your account for this.
