Prizes
Your playPrize for ₱10
- Straight: all 3 digits in exact order
- ₱4,500

- ₱750
- Rambolito with a pair, like 1 2 2: all 3 in any order
- ₱1,500
Rambolito covers every order of your digits: 6 orders for 3 different digits, 3 for a pair. It pays less than straight. Three of the same digit, like 7 7 7, can only be played straight.
