The dice must roll as in the pictures above. Any other combination of the above numbers will cause the hardway bets to lose.
Note: You see the payoff for the hard six (33) is listed as 10 for 1; what that means is it actually pays 9 to 1.
Definition: Hardways mean the dice must land as in the pictures above. Any other combination will cause the numbers to lose. For example let us look at the hard six (33). To win that bet each die must land on a three. The ways for the hard six to lose are as follows, the shooter rolls a seven, or a six in another combination (five and one, or four and two). That is why they pay much higher than a place bet on the particular number.
Note: The hardways pay as follows. Hard six and eight pay ten for one (which means 9 to 1) and the hard four and ten pay eight for one (which means 7 to 1). Why does the hard six and eight pay more than the four and ten? That is because there are more ways for the hard six and eight to lose. Remember the other non-hardway combinations to roll a six and eight are as follows: Six; (51) and (42). Eight; (53) and (62). The only non-hardway combinations for the hard four and ten to roll are: Ten; (64). Four; (31). The easiest way to figure out your hardway pay-off is to take the amount bet, so let us say in this example it is $5, and in the case of the hard six and eight you would multiply it by ten then subtract the amount bet. That would give you a payoff of $45 (10X5-5=45).
