ENTERING A SCORE
1. Press the ARROW buttons to move the arrow
under the desired category. The Roll Value will

The Roll Value will then automatically be added to
your score. The arrow will stop flashing and move
to the next available category. Once you score in a
category, the category name will disappear and will
no longer be available.
3. You can score each category only once per
game. It may be possible to score points in any one
of several categories; for example, you could score
4 sixes in 3 Same (3-of-a-kind), 4 Same (4-of-a-
kind), Chance, or the Sixes category.
Scoring Zero: If your third roll earns no points for
any open category, you're forced to score zero in
an open category of your choice.
