Beto beto is the dice-and-board bet parked at almost every perya, usually within sight of a color game table. This page covers the equipment, the steps, and how beto beto differs from color game once both mechanisms are laid out side by side — see how perya games differ once they’re online for the rest of the perya lineup this site covers.
Beto Beto Rules: The Dice, the Cup and the Number Board
Element
What it is
Dice
Three standard six-sided dice
Shaker
A cup or small box the runner shakes the dice in
Board
Paper or cardboard marked with every total from 3 to 18
Bet
Placed on one total before the dice are shaken
Nothing about beto beto needs more than those four things. A fiesta table runs it on manila paper; nothing stops the same board being printed instead.
How to Play Beto Beto, Step by Step
Check the number board — every total from 3 through 18 has its own betting space.
Place a bet on the total you think the three dice will add up to.
Watch the runner shake the three dice in a cup or box, then reveal all three together.
Add the three dice together and compare the sum to your bet.
Beto Beto Payouts: Why the Runner Sets the Price
Problem
You expect a fixed, printed payout for every beto beto total, the way a licensed slot prints its paytable.
Fix
There isn’t one anywhere official. The board runner sets the price for each total before betting opens, and it moves from table to table — a total near the middle of the 3-to-18 range can come up several different ways from three dice, while 3 and 18 each come up only one way, which is part of why the payouts on the board are never flat across every number.
Beto Beto Game vs Drop Ball: Two Different Mechanisms
Game
What decides the round
Equipment
Beto beto
A three-dice total
Dice, cup, numbered board
Drop ball
Where a dropped ball settles
Pegs, pockets, a drop board
A beto beto game runs on arithmetic — three dice added together — while the drop ball entry runs on where a ball physically comes to rest. Both are perya staples, but nothing about one predicts the other.

What’s typically at stake
A children’s fiesta table
Candy or small coins
An adult perya table
Cash, at whatever amount the runner sets
What stays constant across both is the board itself: a number, a bet, a shake, a total. Only the size of the stake changes from table to table.
How Beto Beto Differs From Color Game
Game
Bet target
Board
Beto beto
A number total, 3 to 18
Numbered spaces
Color game
How many dice show one chosen color
Six color spaces
Both run on three dice shaken and revealed together, which is the source of the confusion between them. Color game keeps its payout simple to state in words — how color game dice pay 1-2-3, one match, two matches or three matches of your color — while a beto beto total has far more possible numbers on the board to price. MEGAPERYA’s Mega Color Game tile, seen on the lobby’s shelves on 23 September 2026, is the digital cousin of the color version rather than the numbered one.
FAQ
What is beto beto?
A perya dice game where three dice are shaken together and bettors back a total on a numbered board, from 3 up to 18. Whoever backed the total the dice add up to is paid.
What equipment does a beto beto game need?
Three six-sided dice, a cup or small box to shake them in, and a board — often just manila paper — marked with every total from 3 to 18.
How does beto beto differ from color game?
Beto beto bets on a number total from three dice; color game bets on how many of three dice show one chosen color. The equipment looks similar, but a beto beto board is numbered 3 to 18, not split into six colors.
Where is beto beto still played?
Fiesta perya tables run it with real dice and a paper board, sometimes for candy rather than money. MEGAPERYA's lobby carries the related Mega Color Game tile, seen on the lobby's shelves on 23 September 2026, for the digital version of the same three-dice family.
