In Las Vegas Royale, 2 to 5 players roll dice and place them on six casino mats representing numbers 1 to 6. Players must place all dice of one number on the corresponding casino mat, competing to have the majority of dice there. Money cards are awarded based on majority, with ties resolved by special rules. Expansion tiles add special abilities for more strategic options. The game blends luck with tactical placement for varied play sessions.

Core mechanics are Dice Rolling and Area Majority, creating a mix of luck and tactics.
