The embodiments of the present invention provide a method of playing wagering games with dice, or other gaming indicia. According to a first embodiment of the present invention, a shooter places a wager and rolls a pair of standard six-sided dice. The shooter then rolls the dice repeatedly until either the sum of the two dice is less than, or equal to, the previous sum rolled, or the number of rolls qualifies for a maximum game payout. Once the shooter stops rolling, the total number of rolls is compared with a pay table and the wager is resolved. The embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in a live table game version or electronic version.
