Odds of winning casino jackpot. If you have played The Witcher or The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, you're familiar with Dice Poker, the addictive little minigame that came with the first two games, and that has been replaced by the card game Gwent in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Lead Quest Designer Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz explained on the official forums that at one point in time the team wanted to have both minigames in their latest title, but the idea was discarded for production reasons.
Dice Poker simply could not be translated to the new game without recreating it from scratch for technical reasons, and this would have required programmers, designers and artists to work on it for a long time. Due to time constraints and the large number of new features that have been implemented, this was not considered possible. There simply weren't enough people to work on both minigames and the rest of the game, so after long discussions the team had to choose.
The folks at CD Projekt are aware that not everyone may be happy with the decision, but they wanted a chance to create a new minigame instead of just making the same for the first time. Tomaszkiewicz understands that some will be dissatisfied, but hopes that they'll give Gwent a chance when the game will be released.
The Witcher One Round Dice Poker Mod About This mod lets you win (or lose) a Dice Poker game after the first round, which is useful to those, that wants to farm orens or simply beat the quest with a faster method. = dumbest achievement in gaming history!!! I really can't figure out what's going on with this one. I've been playing poker dice (and I'm on my second play through) and have yet to get this achievement. Last night I did an experiment, I played for several hours and didn't get 5 of a kind once. About this mod Fixes the Dice Poker and Arm Wrestling minigames so you always win.
Asked whether it'd be possible for Dice Poker to return as DLC, Tomaszkiewicz mentioned that he'd throw the proposal at the team, but knowing the production plans, it's very unlikely, and he doesn't want to create false hopes or make empty promises.
There has also been some discussion among the community about the fact that Gwent is not exactly fitting with the lore, as it really doesn't fit as a game that would be played in the world of The Witcher by its inhabitants.
Tomaszkiewicz explained that there has been fierce discussion on this among the team as well. It has been a long process with different versions of the board and the decks experimented on, but in the end they went with suspension of disbelief because the minigame is supposed to be a light-hearted break from the seriousness of the story. They focused fully on the fun of the game, even at the cost of breaking immersion and lore a bit.
The cards include several winks for the fans of the previous games and the books, and Tomaszkiewicz feels that its pure 'fun factor' compensates for breaking the fourth wall.
In addition to this, we get more information from Level Designer Miles Tost, who mentioned that the effect following sword swings cannot be deactivated, because it serves as visual feedback between weak and strong attacks.
@ACFan101 I don't think you can. Serves as visual feedback for whether you used a fast or strong attack.

He also mentioned that he's 'superproud' of what the team has achieved:
@Flare_TM Aww, I don't know about GOTY but I'm superproud of what we achieved and I love the game to bits. Wait till release is killing me.

Dice poker is an addictive game played throughout the world of The Witcher, and it is very popular in Temeria. If you are good enough, it is a great way of making money.
After finding a starter box of dice, Geralt is given the quest A Game of Dice. Opponents can be found far and wide as it seems mercenaries took it with them to the farthest reaches of the kingdoms as they scattered after the war. A clever witcher could finance many little extras with the proceeds of a few games.

Basics[edit | edit source]
- Each player uses a set of five dice.
- Bet levels are based on the experience of the players.
- The goal of the game is to roll the strongest hand in two out of three hands.
- Place your bet and left-click 'roll dice'.
- Choose whether to raise the bet.
- Select any dice you wish to re-roll.
- The player with the highest-ranking hand wins.
Ranking of Hands[edit | edit source]
From the lowest to the highest:
- Nothing — five mismatched dice forming no sequence longer than four.
- Pair — two dice showing the same value.
- Two Pairs — two pairs of dice, each showing the same value.
- Three-of-a-Kind — three dice showing the same value.
- Five High Straight — dice showing values from 1 through 5, inclusive.
- Six High Straight — dice showing values from 2 through 6, inclusive.
- Full House — Pair of one value and Three-of-a-Kind of another.
- Four-of-a-Kind — four dice showing the same value.
- Five-of-a-Kind — all five dice showing the same value.
Playing Dice Poker[edit | edit source]
Each game has two rounds and each round has two rolls. Geralt always starts. Between rounds each player who can afford to may raise the bet once. After Geralt makes this decision, the opponent can surrender, accept or raise (re-raise); surrendering is effectively forfeiting the round. If (after both re-roll decisions) both hands match, the highest face-value prevails: e.g. if you have a Pair of 3s and your opponent has a Pair of 4s, you lose. 'Extra' dice (in the case of Pairs or Three-/Four-of-a-Kind) are only considered if matching hands are identical: e.g. if each player has four 6s, your fifth die is a 3 and your opponent's is a 1, you win. If both players end with all five dice matching, it's a draw; this adds another chance to raise the stakes and re-roll, and though rare, can happen more than once per game, dragging it out until one hand exceeds the other.

Notes[edit | edit source]
Witcher 3 Dice Poker Mods
- AI players in the game have been vastly improved in the Enhanced Edition of the game. Previously, they would often make absurd mistakes, especially the novices. This has been fixed.
- Playing conservatively no longer works quite as reliably as in the original game, but it is still an adequate strategy, i.e. only roll the dice that are not part of a pair or three-of-a-kind for your second roll and always roll those dice. But hey, it is a game of chance, nothing is assured.
- In the Enhanced Edition, three or four of a kind rolls are still much more common than in real life. One popular strategy to win these matches is to always discard the second pair when two pair are rolled because it is relatively common to get three of a kind or four of a kind.
- The use of the quicksave key (F5) before starting the match allows you to accumulate winnings by always betting the maximum and hitting the quickload key (F9) if you lose a match.
- This may be a 'game of chance' in theory, but in reality some players are inherently 'luckier' than others, including yourself. What this means is that as Geralt moves on to progressively more advanced players, the system that calculates the dice values is modified to favour the NPC, with the NPC having a greater probability of getting a better hand than the player. At higher levels this can be particularly frustrating, with Geralt's opponent easily cranking out great hands with each throw when he himself has trouble getting three-of-a-kind.
- The fact that Geralt always rolls first would appear to put him at an automatic disadvantage because only the NPC has the luxury of knowing what he has to beat on the second roll. So if the NPC has a higher hand after your throw, he will only throw the dice he doesn't need.
- Alas only the NPC can re-raise a bet. This happens when e.g. Geralt has a pair of fours and the opponent has three fours. Now even if Geralt was able to roll another four he would only get a draw. The AI understands this, and re-raises.
- Since you are in this to win, it usually is a waste of time to not bet the maximum amount of orens at any stage of the dice poker game. Should you lose, simply reload the game.
- The initial bet seems to determine the overall 'luck' of the game. A low first bet dramatically improving the chances that you will beat your opponent. This is unconfirmed mathematically, but has been anecdotally observed many times. (This is as close to being confirmed as is possible without empirical evidence, having played twenty games of poker dice, ten where the initial bet was the largest possible one, and ten where it was the lowest, the statistics speak for themselves: Of the ten first games, eight were lost and only two won. The remaining ten (where the initial bet was the smallest one), resulted in nine wins and only one loss. Furthermore, the chance of getting an initial combination of matching dice seems to improve drastically when opting for the smaller initial bet. Naturally, this does not guarantee a win, as mentioned above, the game is still about chance, this little trick does however seem to improve your chances of monetary gain. This was tested on the Enhanced edition of 'The Witcher'.)
Playing the Odds[edit | edit source]
Start your first match with the lowest ante and bet conservatively. If you win, quit here. Otherwise, up the ante and play again, betting more aggressively. Repeat once more if needed. If you still haven't won after three tries, you need to study the odds! By this method, assuming you can win half your matches, you will usually come away with at least a small monetary gain. The chance of losing three matches in a row is 12.5% if you are evenly matched.
Here are the odds rolling five fair six-sided dice:
- Five of a Kind = 0.08%
- Four of a Kind = 1.93%
- Full House = 3.86%
- Straight = 3.09%
- Three of a Kind = 15.43%
- Two Pairs = 23.15%
- A Pair = 46.30%
- Nothing = 6.17%
If your hand is worse than your opponent's, call. If it is much worse and the opponent raises, fold unless it's the third hand; by that time the pot is usually rich enough that it's worth your while to call unless your opponent has an unbeatable hand. If your hand is better than the opponent's, raise. If it's much better, raise the limit.. it's always possible to see a good hand fall to a better one, but usually you will win if you're starting with a straight or better, so you should make your opponent pay for his chance to beat you. A smart opponent will often fold to you if you make him pay too much to stay in with his bad hand.
Below are the odds for improving your hand:
- Rolling four or five dice is not normally recommended because your best chance with 'nothing' comes from rolling for the straight (16.7%)
- Rolling three dice: Your most common situation - you have a pair and end up with
- Five of a Kind = 0.46%
- Four of a Kind = 6.95%
- Full House = 9.29%
- Three of a Kind = 27.7%
- Two Pairs = 27.8%
- One Pair = 27.8%
Witcher 3 Dice Poker Modes
Rolling two dice: You have three of a kind and end up with:
- Five of a Kind = 2.76%
- Four of a Kind = 27.8%
- Full House = 13.9%
- Three of a Kind = 55.5%
Rolling one die: You have four of a kind, in which case your game is won, or you are rolling for a straight (16.7%) or trying to improve two pairs (33.3%). If you instead throw away the lower of your two pairs and roll three dice, your odds are worse.
