Domino games can be played for cash and offer an extra element of excitement to playing. Remember, you don't have to gamble with real money, you can always play with counters, chips, matchsticks or chocolates, if you prefer. There is an element of skill and strategy to playing many domino games, so some people don't strictly consider it as pure gambling.

General Point, and Block & Draw Domino Games Gambling

Many Point and Block & Draw domino games are played to a fixed number of points (say 100, 150, 200 or 250) and if you want to play for stakes, then players can simply put a fixed wager amount into a pot (or pool) at the start of a game, with the overall winner of the game collecting it once he has reached the target total.

An alternative method is for the winner of a game collecting a fixed cash amount per point for the difference between their point total and all the losing players' point totals at the end of a game. When gambling using this method, it might be a good idea to play for small denominations of cash per point (pennies or cents, for example).

Online Domino Gambling Games

You can play dominoes online for cash, wagering with other players you may play against in real-time games. These websites also offer tournament competitions for multiple players to compete in. The websites providing the online software and opportunity to play will take a "rake". This is a small percentage of the winning player's winnings.
