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
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.
Playing on two or more tables at the same time is prohibited.
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. Casino games are in the casino section.
In Algeria, accounts are kept in Algerian dinars (DZD). You open one via sign-up, and deposits can go through RedotPay.

Dominoes: blocks, openings and the time limit
Can a game end while both players still hold tiles?
Yes, through a block: tiles remain in both hands, but neither of you has one that fits, so nobody can move. In that case the player with fewer points wins.
Who starts if neither player holds a double?
The game then opens with the tile carrying the largest number of pips.
Is there a deadline for finishing a game?
Yes. Once started, a game must be finished in no more than 7 days; after that it closes automatically and the stake is lost.
