Dominoes: the double-six rule and matching pips
In Dominoes, the first move belongs to the player holding the double-six (6-6); if nobody has it, the holder of the highest double starts. In Algeria, this two-player domino game comes under 1xBet's 1xGames catalogue.
Your stake has to be set before the game begins. Until then, the screen shows two rows of seven face-down tiles, one near the top and one near the bottom, along with a prompt telling you to press "Place a bet" to start.
Winning a game and the x2 payout
A game is over once a player has laid their final tile and has nothing left in hand. Victory goes to whoever has no tiles left or the lowest number of points. A won game is settled at odds of x2: the payout is the stake times two.
The 28 tiles at a glance
Item | Detail |
|---|---|
Tiles in the set | 28 |
Each tile | two halves marked with black spots, or pips |
Pips on one half | from one to six, or none at all |
Hand at the start | 7 tiles for you and 7 for your opponent |
Tiles not dealt | kept in the stock |
Each player's tiles lie in a line along one side of the playing area. Tips are built into the game: it highlights available positions and tiles to help you make a move.
Laying and drawing tiles
Set the stake and press "Place a bet".
Take your seven tiles, lined up at the bottom of the screen.
On your turn, lay a tile whose half matches an open end of the chain.
With nothing that fits, use the draw button next to your hand to take a tile from the stock.
Each new tile is placed against an end of the one laid before it, and the two halves that meet must carry the same number of pips. A 6-5 in your hand, for example, can join an end with six pips or an end with five. If no tile fits, you draw from the stock until one with the right pips turns up or the stock runs out.
A speech bubble above your hand tells you what to do next: it asks you to draw when none of your tiles fits, and invites you to make a move when you can lay one. A red button sits in the top left corner, next to your opponent's face-down tiles.
Dominoes next to Dice
The 1xGames catalogue has another head-to-head game, Dice, settled in a single throw, with red dice on your side and black ones on the other; whoever scores more points takes it, and stakes come back on a tie. Dominoes takes far more moves, one tile at a time, until a hand is empty or the game is blocked.
Pre-match, live and casino sections
Bets on matches go through two sports sections: pre-match betting covers matches that have not started yet, and live betting covers those already in progress.
In Algeria, accounts are kept in Algerian dinars (DZD). You open one via sign-up, and deposits can go through RedotPay.
