   • Players place their bets on whether the total sum of two dice will be under 7, exactly 7, or over 7.
2. Roll the Dice:
   • The dealer (or a designated roller) rolls the two dice.
3. Determine the Outcome:
   • If the sum of the two dice is:
     • Under 7: Players who bet on “under 7” win. Typically, this pays even money (1:1).
     • Exactly 7: Players who bet on “exactly 7” win. This usually pays higher odds, often 4:1.
     • Over 7: Players who bet on “over 7” win. Similar to “under 7,” this pays even money (1:1).
4. House Edge:
   • The game’s simplicity belies a house edge that generally favors the casino. The exact edge can vary depending on the payout odds offered for each bet.
5. Repeat:
   • The game can be played in rounds, with players placing new bets for each roll of the dice.

Strategy and Tips:

• Odds and Payouts: Understanding the odds and payouts for each bet is crucial. Betting on “exactly 7” offers higher payouts but has a lower probability compared to “under” or “over 7.”
• Bankroll Management: Like any gambling game, it’s essential to manage your bets and not exceed your planned budget.
• Variations: Some versions of the game may have additional betting options or slightly different payout structures.

Example:

• If you bet $10 on “over 7” and the dice roll results in a total of 9 (e.g., 4 and 5), you win $10 (plus your original bet).
• If you bet $10 on “exactly 7” and the dice roll results in a total of 7 (e.g., 3 and 4), you win $40 (plus your original bet, at 4:1 odds).
• If you bet $10 on “under 7” and the dice roll results in a total of 6 (e.g., 3 and 3), you win $10 (plus your original bet).

“Under and Over 7” is a straightforward game of chance that can be enjoyed quickly, making it a popular choice for casual play and simple betting entertainment.
