Rolling Dice Pokies
A casino pokie machine filled entirely with dice symbols could be a fairly boring thing to look at, but EGT are experts at this type of game and have filled their Rolling Dice video pokie with colourful images and a unique wild feature. 3D graphics make the dice stand out from the 5 reels and a nice purple backdrop adds even more style to what could have been a dull-looking game.
Above the reels, there’s the 4 levels of the Jackpot Cards progressive feature that’s carried across all EGT pokies, while to the sides are the payline indicators. There’s just 10 lines, but they are all permanently active, so the minimum wager on this game is 0.10 per spin, although free Rolling Dice video pokies can be tried out if players want to see how it all works beforehand.
Wins in normal play come from landing 3, 4 or 5 of the same dice across a payline on adjacent reels from the left side, although the wild symbol will be able to act as any other, creating extra winning spins.
Playing Rolling Dice
A review of the pay table shows what each of these dice is worth, and at the bottom of the scale there’s light blue, green, red and a purple dice that will each pay out 5x the line bet when stopping on 3 reels, while 4 of them will be worth 20x and a full run of 5 across a payline will see wins of 50x the line stake paid out. Next up, we see the dark blue and gold-coloured dice that are worth 15, 30 or 100x the line bet, while a white number 7 dice pays 20, 45 or 200x. The top value dice is the number 8, that returns 20, 50 or 350x when 3, 4 or 5 stop across a payline.
What players will really want to see however, is the red wild symbol, made up of 3 rolling dice that give this game it’s unique bonus feature and its name. This icon is worth 50, 150 or 750x when landing on a line, but the real rewards come when it stretches across all adjacent positions in any direction. This will hopefully lead to several winline being created at once, but because of the potential for high payouts from this symbol, it doesn’t appear very often.
Another symbol that players won’t see much of is the scatter, which is a white dice with a Chinese letter on it. That’s because just 3 of these are needed, in any positions, to pay 50x the line bet, while 4 of them are worth 200x and the top win of 2000x is awarded to anyone who sees 5 scatters on the reels at once.

Other Features
Wins of less than 350 coins can potentially be turned into many times this value if players get a lucky run in the optional gamble round. By correctly picking if a playing card will be red or black, the triggering win is doubled, and can then be doubled over and over until the gamble limit is reached. But players beware, as a wrong choice at any point will forfeit not only the initial win, but also any gains made in the gamble round so far. It’s a straight 50/50 risk though, and a fun way to try and boost a smaller win into something more substantial.
All EGT pokies share a 4-stage progressive jackpot feature. The Club, Diamond, Heart and Spade progressive values are displayed above the reels, each slowly rising in value as a small percentage of all bets placed across the EGT range are put aside.
The round is randomly awarded and once triggered, players will see 12 cards laid out before them. The aim is to click them in any order until 3 of the same suit are found, with the relevant jackpot then paid out.
The Verdict
This is a reliable pokie where a good return to player percentage should ensure that players are not dicing with their bankrolls. This type of game isn’t about exciting themes or graphics and is more suited to serious gamblers who just want to focus on spinning up some steady wins rather than being dazzled with fancy graphics, but EGT have still managed to make it look as good as a dice-based game can be.
The real highlight comes from the wild expanding across the reels, and if it’s not on an edge, it’s going to cover 9 symbol positions in total, which should ensure punters can cash out some decent wins.
