Bet Types

There are five ways to play Pick-3:

Straight: You win if your numbers match the winning numbers drawn in the same EXACT ORDER.
Box: You win if your numbers match the numbers drawn in ANY ORDER. Box can be played as 3-Way Box or 6-Way Box.
Straight/Box: The most popular bet type is simply the Straight and Box types combined in one! You win the Straight AND Box prizes by matching the winning numbers in EXACT ORDER. Win the Box prize if you match the winning numbers in ANY ORDER.

The minimum play costs $1 (that is, 50 cents for Straight and 50 cents for Box). If you add FIREBALL, the minimum bet becomes $2.
Wheel: An easy way to play all possible Straight combos of your three numbers. You win if you match the numbers drawn in ANY ORDER! This is a combination play type, so the base wager amount is multipled by the number of potential combinations.

Wheel can be played as 3-Way Wheel, where you select a three-digit number with two of the same digits (e.g. 112) OR 6-Way Wheel, where you choose a three-digit number with three unique digits (e.g. 123).
Pair Bets: Select two numbers. You win if you match the first two (Front Pair), the last two (Back Pair), OR first and last (Split Pair)!
