Information After using Phantom Roll, the Double-Up icon appears on your screen (a die with a plus sign over it), signifying that the roll is eligible for Double-Up. Using Double-Up at this point will generate another random number from 1 to 6 and add it to the previous Phantom Roll total. If the total comes to 12 or higher, the roll will Bust. You can Double-Up as long as the Double-Up icon is displayed on the screen, which is up to 45 seconds after Phantom Roll was initially used; or until you Bust. A Phantom Roll total of 11 creates the strongest effect, hitting the lucky number for the roll is the next strongest effect, with most lucky numbers being between 2-6. Unlucky numbers give the weakest effect and are between 6 and 10 for most effects. it is not advisable to use double up again to avoid an unlucky number, as it has a high chance of bust. Most players aim for the lucky number and not 11.
