East West Holdem Rules

East West Hold’em

A great quickie game of chance
Very popular in pubs and at parties

Directions:

Up to 4 dice can be in play
There are 4 different symbols on each die
1 side says “E” – East (right)
1 side says “W” – West (left)
1 side says “H” - Hold’em (hold)
1 side has the Harley® “Bar & Shield” symbol (Center)

Any number of people can play from as few as 3 to 10 or more.
This is a great game for parties or after a long ride

To start the game each player places 4 chips in front of them (one
representing each die)
Determine which player will start the game and rotate turns clockwise
Roll 1 die for every chip you have in front of you with a maximum of 4 dice
rolled per turn
At the start of the game you will roll 4 dice (one for each chip)
On your subsequent turn, if you only have 2 chips left you only roll 2 dice,
3 chips 3 dice and so on.

The dice will tell you what to do:
If one die comes up with an “E” pass a chip to the Right
If one die comes up with a “W” pass a chip to the Left
If one die comes up with the “Bar & Shield” you put a chip in the center of
the table
If one die comes up with an “H” you hold a chip (if 4 dice come up with
“H” or “E” you hold all 4 chips or pass 4 chips)

Play continues until there is only 1 chip left in front of someone
The last player with a chip rolls the 1 die if an “H” comes up they hold and
win the pot
Consequently, if an “E” or “W” comes up they pass the chip and the die and
that person has a chance to win the pot
If a Bar & Shield comes up the chip is placed in the center and another game
begins and everyone is playing for a “Double Pot”

If you loose your chip early, never fear you are never out of the game until
the last die is thrown because the last die could be passed to you giving
you a chance to win the pot.
