Demetra, the Dice Maiden hears rattles and whispers of fate from her dice of destiny.

With hands that have seen a thousand games, she readies the marble table, a battlefield for fortune. A carved cup holds a bounty of dice, each one a promise of a new story. The shoji screens, a veil against the world, whisper tales of winnings and losses. The incense of opium and tobacco, a faint and fleeting fragrance, mingles with the anticipation of the game. Demetra, a high priestess of chance, presides over this sacred space. Her presence, a silent command, invokes the gods of luck and fate. Her eyes, pools of a thousand secrets, hold the stories of those who dare to play.

Her scars, a symbol of resilience, stand as a testament that even in the darkest of nights, there is always a chance for a new dawn. The violet kimono, a vibrant hue, shines as a beacon of hope for those who seek to change their fortunes. With each die she casts, she holds the power to shape destinies. Demetra, a goddess of gambling, is a force to be reckoned with. Her table, an arena of dreams, is a place where anything is possible

三面 Sanmen

-# (Three-Face)
-# Official Game Rules & Guide**

The Basic Concept

• Two dice rolls are made: one by the Player and one by the Banker to determine their hands
• Each roll is for three 6-sided dice (/roll 3d6)
• Hands are scored using the following logic: total up the 3 dice and take the last digit (e.g., 5 + 6 + 4 = 15 5 points)
• Highest score wins. (Max score \= 9, Min score \= 0)

Main Bets

• Player Wins. Player hand totals higher than Banker. Pays 1:1
• Banker Wins. Banker hand totals higher than Player. Pays 1:1
• Tie. Both hands total the same. Pays 8:1

The "3 over 0" Push Rule. If the winning hand scores 3 and the losing hand scores 0, the winning base bet (Player or Banker) PUSHES (ties) instead of paying 1:1

Optional Side Bets

• Golden 3 (3 over 0): A 3 vs 0 outcome. Pays 35:1
• Golden 3 Player: The player wins 3 vs 0 outcome. Pays 70:1
• Golden 3 Banker: The banker wins 3 vs 0 outcome. Pays 70:1
• Sun 7: A winning Banker hand of 7. Pays 14:1
• Moon 8: A winning Player hand of 8. Pays 10:1
• Triples: A hand rolls 3-of-a-kind (e.g., 3-3-3). Pays 100:1
• Double Straight: Both hands form a sequence (e.g., 1-2-3 and 4-5-6). Pays 70:1

How to Play

Step 1 Place Your Wagers

The Player chooses an amount of gold pieces to bet on Player, Banker, Tie, and any optional Side Bets before the dice are rolled. (e.g, ` 50 gp on Player. Side Bet: 100 gp on Golden 3 Player)

Step 2 Roll the Dice

The Player and Banker rolls their dice (`/roll 3d6’)

Step 3 Total the Dice

The score is calculated for each:

• Player Dice: ⚀ ⚂ ⚄ (1 + 3 + 5 \= 9) Score: 9
• Banker Dice: ⚁ ⚃ ⚅ (2 + 4 + 6 \= 12) Score: 2

Step 4️ Determine Winner & Collect Payouts

• The higher total wins
• If the scores match, it is a Tie (Player and Banker bets push)
• Side bets are evaluated regardless of the main hand result
