Objective:

The objective of Macao is to score points by rolling specific combinations with three dice. Players typically take turns rolling the dice and placing bets on the outcomes.

Materials:

• 3 dice.
• Remaining dice to be used as currency or chips or other form of currency.

Setup:

• Players gather around a table or playing area. One player can act as the banker or dealer, or the role can rotate among players.

Betting:

• Players place their bets on the outcome of the roll of the dice. Bets can be placed on various combinations or outcomes.

Rolling the Dice:

• The banker (or a designated player) rolls the three dice.

Determining the Outcome:

• The outcome is determined by the combination of the three dice. Common outcomes and their meanings include:
  • "Aces" (rolling three ones): A win for the player with a payout from the banker.
  • "Doubles" (rolling three dice with the same number): The player wins, with the payout from the banker varying based on the specific number rolled.
  • "Big" (rolling a total of 11-17): The player wins, with the payout from the banker varying based on the total.
  • "Small" (rolling a total of 4-10): The player wins, with the payout from the banker varying based on the total.
  • "Trips" (rolling three of the same number other than ones): The player wins, with the payout from the banker varying based on the specific number rolled.
  • "No Field" (rolling a total of 3 or 18): The banker wins all bets.
  • "Field" (rolling any other combination): The player wins, with the payout from the banker varying based on the specific combination rolled.

Payouts:

• Payouts to the players depend on the specific bets placed and the outcome of the roll.

Changing the Banker:

• Players may take turns being the banker or dealer, or the role can rotate as agreed upon among the players.

Continuing Rounds:

• The game typically continues with multiple rounds, and players can place bets before each roll.
