Fish Prawn Crab
Beginner's Guide
What is Fish Prawn Crab?
Fish Prawn Crab is a traditional Asian dice game that uses three dice with special symbols instead of numbers. In our digital version, we use numbered dice (1-6) where each number represents a different symbol:
1 & 6 = Fish (Red) 🐟
2 & 5 = Prawn (Orange) 🦐
3 & 4 = Crab (Green) 🦀
The game offers 39 different betting options ranging from simple symbol bets to complex combinations, making it one of the most versatile dice games available!
