Players roll colored dice to claim casinos in this gambling-themed game. Each casino displays money cards worth at least $50,000. After rolling, you must place all dice of matching numbers on one casino. When all dice are used, whoever has the most dice at each casino wins its highest-value money card. Expansion tiles add special abilities.
