Royal Dice

Royal Dice, also written RoyalDice, is a real-time multiplayer version of the classic five-dice scorecard game, known as Yahtzee in North America and Yatzy across much of Europe.

You roll five dice up to three times a turn, holding the ones you want between rolls, then commit the result to one of thirteen scoring categories. Highest total after thirteen rounds wins. The signature category, five of a kind, is what the game is named after.

What makes it a social casino rather than a puzzle app is the economy wrapped around it: you stake Coins on matches, the winner collects, and jackpots pay out when you beat a score threshold. There is chat, a friend list, and challenges.

Matches run against up to three opponents in the standard mode, but the game has more variety than that suggests.

• Normal Mode: Thirteen rounds against up to three opponents. The default.
• Triple Mode: Three parallel scorecard columns over thirty-nine rounds, which is the thinking player's version.
• Synchro and TopDown: Faster variants for shorter sessions.
• PartyMode: Large tournaments where dozens of players compete at once for jackpot prizes.

Triple Mode is where the game has genuine strategic depth. With three columns running at once you are constantly deciding which scorecard a mediocre roll should damage, which is a meaningfully different problem from the single-column game.

GamePoint B.V., a Dutch studio in The Hague, founded on 1 March 1998. It started life hosting servers for multiplayer first-person shooters before moving into browser games, launching Darts in 2001 and Bingo on a virtual currency in 2004.

That history matters for understanding the game. GamePoint has been running synchronous multiplayer titles for more than two decades, and Royal Dice reflects that: it is built around real people playing at the same time rather than around asynchronous turns against bots.

The company is independent, with no disclosed parent.

This is worth being precise about, because it is commonly reported wrongly, including in our own earlier write-up.

• Browser: The original and still primary home, at GamePoint.com, on desktop and mobile browsers.
• Android: On Google Play since June 2020.
• iOS: On the App Store since May 2021, requiring iOS 15 or later.
• Windows: Through Google Play Games on Windows 10 or later.

The web version came first, by roughly seven years. Royal Dice is a browser game that later got apps, not a mobile game that added a website, and the two mobile launches are much more recent than most sources suggest.

Royal Dice has an official Facebook page, and GamePoint posts coin links there and lets you invite friends through it. That is not the same as the game being playable on Facebook, and no Facebook game version is documented.

The most useful thing on this page: the game's best free source is on a three-hour timer, not a daily one.

• The 3-hour spin: A free Coin gift every three hours from a wheel. This is the most reliable source in the game and the one most guides miss.
• Match wins: The winner collects the Coins staked on the match.
• Jackpots: Beat the score threshold shown on the jackpot banner during a match and you take the Coin jackpot. Thresholds move rather than being fixed.
• Daily login: Consecutive logins award Coins or chests, though GamePoint does not publish the streak thresholds.
• Treasure chests: Earned through wins, high scores and daily goals, and containing cosmetic cups and dice sets.
• PartyMode tournaments: Jackpot prizes for top scorers, with dynamic rather than fixed rewards.
• Deals: Periodic offers that boost your daily Coin bonuses for 30 days.
• Referrals: An Invite Friends button shares via Facebook, SMS or WhatsApp, though the reward structure is not documented.
• Official link posts: Coin links posted to the game's official channels, which our free coins page collects.

Because the spin is on a three-hour cycle, someone checking in once a day collects one of a possible several. Two or three visits across a day is the difference between a trickle and a genuinely usable income.

Royal Dice sells subscriptions rather than only coin packs, and their main effect lands directly on the free economy, which is unusual enough to explain properly.

• VIP: Adds 50% to the Coins you get from spins and free gifts, plus exclusive features. Around $50 a year in the pricing we could verify.
• SuperVIP: Adds 100% instead. Around $40 for three months or $110 a year.

So the subscriptions do not merely buy Coins, they multiply the free income you were already collecting. That is a meaningfully different proposition from a coin pack, and it is worth understanding before deciding whether either is worth it for how you actually play.

One caveat documented in the game's own terms: players without a subscription may face limits on free spins across multiple accounts, while subscribers are exempt. If you have ever wondered why a second account stopped producing spins, that is likely why.

Coin tiers themselves run from roughly $2 up to around $110, though the exact figures vary by region and the Coin amounts per tier are not published.

No. No promo code system is documented for this game, and GamePoint does not distribute redeemable codes through social media, newsletters or partner sites.

Third-party sites listing Royal Dice codes are not drawing on anything GamePoint publishes. Free Coins here come from the three-hour spin, from winning matches, and from the links GamePoint posts on its official channels.

No. Coins and Diamonds are virtual, cannot be converted to real money, and cannot be withdrawn. Staking Coins on a match is a scoring mechanic, not a wager, because nothing at stake has cash value.

It is worth noting that Royal Dice sits closer to a skill game than most of what we cover. Dice rolls are random, but which dice you hold and which category you commit a roll to are genuine decisions, and better players win more consistently. That is not true of a slot machine.

GamePoint publishes no odds data, and there is no published minimum or recommended hardware specification, though as a lightweight dice game it runs on essentially anything meeting the operating system requirements.

Royal Dice is one of the few genuinely skill-based games we cover, so the comparisons split by what you want from it.

• Match Masters: The other real head-to-head multiplayer game in our list, with the same competitive rhythm.
• Dice Dreams: Dice-based but a very different game: board progression and raiding rather than a scorecard.
• Lord of the Board: Board play against other people, if the multiplayer is the appeal.
• Tiki Solitaire TriPeaks: A solo alternative with the same short-session shape.
• Solitaire Grand Harvest: Card play with a progression metagame, if you want something to build.
• Bingo Blitz: Real-time rooms with other players, closer to chance than to skill.

If the appeal is playing against real people in real time, Match Masters and Lord of the Board are the closest things we cover. If it is the scorecard thinking specifically, nothing else on our list replaces it, which is a large part of why Royal Dice has lasted as long as it has.
