What Is 4D Roll? How the R Number Works

4D Roll is a bet where one of the four digits is replaced by R, and the R stands for every digit from 0 to 9, so a single Roll entry covers 10 different numbers. Because it is really 10 ordinary entries written as one, it costs 10 times your stake per number. This guide shows what each R position covers, how Roll differs from Box and i-Box, what happens with more than one R, and how to check a Roll bet.

How the R works

You fix three of the four digits and put R in the position you are unsure about. The R is then filled in with 0, 1, 2 and so on up to 9, giving you 10 numbers that are identical except for that one position. Each of those 10 numbers is played as a normal 4D number.

What each R position covers

The position of the R decides which 10 numbers you get:

  • R in the first position (R234): 0234, 1234, 2234 and so on up to 9234.
  • R in the second position (1R34): 1034, 1134, 1234 and so on up to 1934.
  • R in the third position (12R4): 1204, 1214, 1224 and so on up to 1294.
  • R in the fourth position (123R): 1230, 1231, 1232 and so on up to 1239.

How much a Roll costs

Each of the 10 numbers is a full entry, so a Roll costs 10 times the stake you put on each number. At a stake of 1 unit per number, one Roll costs 10 units. If Big and Small are available for Roll, the same rule applies: each of the 10 numbers carries the bet type you chose, and the result is checked number by number.

Two or more R's

Every extra R multiplies the count by 10. Two R's cover 100 numbers: RR34, for example, covers everything from 0034 to 9934, and costs 100 times the stake per number. Three R's would cover 1,000 numbers. Whether more than one R is accepted depends on the platform, so check before you enter one.

Roll vs Box vs i-Box

  • Roll: keeps three digits fixed and runs one position through 0 to 9, giving 10 different numbers.
  • Box: keeps the same four digits and covers every order they can appear in, up to 24 arrangements, with one stake per arrangement.
  • i-Box: covers every arrangement of your four digits for a single stake, with the payout shared across them.

Box and i-Box are explained for beginners in how to play 4D online.

When a Roll makes sense

  • You are sure of three digits but not the fourth. A Roll covers every possibility for the missing one.
  • You want 10 closely related numbers in one entry. It saves writing out 10 separate numbers.
  • Keep the cost in mind. A Roll does not make any single number more likely to be drawn; it simply buys 10 numbers at once, at 10 times the stake.

How to check a Roll bet

  1. Open the latest 4D results and find the result for the draw date you played.
  2. Look for any winning number whose three fixed digits match yours in the same positions; the R position can be any digit.
  3. Check the prize group against your bet type: Big counts all 23 winning numbers, Small only the top three, as explained in 4D Big vs Small.

Choosing the digits is a separate step from choosing the bet type. If you like to pick numbers from a dream, the 4D dream number chart lists the traditional Tua Pek Kong number for each dream; it is a cultural reference and does not change your odds.

FAQ

What does R mean in 4D? R means every digit from 0 to 9 in that position. 1R34, for example, covers 1034, 1134 and so on up to 1934. You fix the other three digits, and each of the 10 resulting numbers is played as a normal 4D number, so one Roll costs 10 times your stake per number.

How many numbers does a 4D Roll cover? One R covers 10 numbers. Two R's cover 100 numbers, and three cover 1,000, because every extra R multiplies the count by 10. RR34, for example, covers everything from 0034 to 9934. Whether more than one R is accepted depends on the platform, so check before you enter one.

How much does a 4D Roll cost? A Roll costs 10 times your stake per number, because it is 10 entries written as one. At a stake of 1 unit per number, one Roll costs 10 units, and two R's cost 100 times the stake. A Roll does not make any single number more likely to be drawn.

Is 4D Roll the same as Box? No, Roll and Box work differently. Roll runs one position through 0 to 9 to make 10 different numbers, while Box rearranges the same four digits. Box covers up to 24 arrangements with one stake per arrangement, and i-Box covers every arrangement for a single stake, with the payout shared across them.
