Mid-Autumn Festival gambling game

Question

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn festival, and in the spirit of that holiday, I will introduce a gambling game that we (people from Xiamen) play during the holiday!

Rules

The game is played with six 6-sided dice. Different combinations of numbers have different ranks, with a special emphasis on fours and ones. Your job is to write a program/function that will rank the hand, given a roll of 6 dice. Here are the ranks (I've modified/simplified the rules a bit):

I guess only Chinese people can do this challenge! Okay, fine, here are some English explanations.

• 0: 4 fours and 2 ones.
• 1: 6 fours.
• 2: 6 ones.
• 3: 6 of any kind except fours and ones.
• 4: 5 fours.
• 5: 5 of any kind except for fours.
• 6: 4 fours.
• 7: Straight. (1-6)
• 8: 3 fours.
• 9: 4 of any kind except 4.
• 10: 2 fours.
• 11: 1 four.
• 12: Nothing.

Input

6 numbers, an array of 6 numbers, or a string of 6 numbers that represent the values of the 6 dice rolls from 1-6

Output

Your program/function may return/output anything to indicate the rank, as long as each rank is indicated by one output and vice versa. Ex. Using the numbers 0-12, 1-13, etc.

Examples(Using 0-12 as the outputs)

[1,1,1,1,1,1]->2
[1,4,4,4,1,4]->0
[3,6,5,1,4,2]->7
[1,2,3,5,6,6]->12
[3,6,3,3,3,3]->5
[4,5,5,5,5,5]->5

This is code-golf, so shortest byte count wins!

Outputs an integer according to the following mapping:

 Rank | Output       Rank | Output
------+--------     ------+--------
   0  |  31            7  |   7
   1  |  12            8  |   5
   2  |  14            9  |  21
   3  |   8           10  |   4
   4  |  11           11  |   1
   5  |   9           12  |   0
   6  |  29

How?

Method

The output is computed by performing a bitwise OR between:

• a bitmask based on \$F\$: the number of 4's
• a bitmask based on \$M\$: the maximum number of occurrences of the same dice

Exceptions:

• When \$F=4\$: we use a special bitmask \$4b\$ when the two other dice are 1's, or a default bitmask \$4a\$ otherwise.
• When \$M=6\$: we use a special bitmask \$6b\$ when we have a six-of-a-kind of 1's, or a default bitmask \$6a\$ otherwise.

Table

Valid combinations of \$F\$ and \$M\$ are highlighted in bold and blue in the following table.

$$\begin{array}{c|c|cccccccc} &F&0&1&2&3&4a&4b&5&6\\ \hline M&\text{OR}&0&1&4&5&8&10&2&4\\ \hline 1&6&\color{grey}{6}&\color{blue}{\textbf{7}}&\color{grey}{6}&\color{grey}{7}&\color{grey}{14}&\color{grey}{14}&\color{grey}{6}&\color{grey}{6}\\ 2&0&\color{blue}{\textbf{0}}&\color{blue}{\textbf{1}}&\color{blue}{\textbf{4}}&\color{grey}{5}&\color{grey}{8}&\color{grey}{10}&\color{grey}{2}&\color{grey}{4}\\ 3&0&\color{blue}{\textbf{0}}&\color{blue}{\textbf{1}}&\color{blue}{\textbf{4}}&\color{blue}{\textbf{5}}&\color{grey}{8}&\color{grey}{10}&\color{grey}{2}&\color{grey}{4}\\ 4&21&\color{blue}{\textbf{21}}&\color{blue}{\textbf{21}}&\color{blue}{\textbf{21}}&\color{grey}{21}&\color{blue}{\textbf{29}}&\color{blue}{\textbf{31}}&\color{grey}{23}&\color{grey}{21}\\ 5&9&\color{blue}{\textbf{9}}&\color{blue}{\textbf{9}}&\color{grey}{13}&\color{grey}{13}&\color{grey}{9}&\color{grey}{11}&\color{blue}{\textbf{11}}&\color{grey}{13}\\ 6a&8&\color{blue}{\textbf{8}}&\color{grey}{9}&\color{grey}{12}&\color{grey}{13}&\color{grey}{8}&\color{grey}{10}&\color{grey}{10}&\color{blue}{\textbf{12}}\\ 6b&14&\color{blue}{\textbf{14}}&\color{grey}{15}&\color{grey}{14}&\color{grey}{15}&\color{grey}{14}&\color{grey}{14}&\color{grey}{14}&\color{grey}{14}\\ \end{array}$$

All other combinations (in gray) can't possibly happen. For instance, if we have three 4's, we must have \$M\ge3\$. But because there are only 3 other remaining dice in such a roll, we also have \$M\le3\$. So, there's only one possible value of \$M\$ for \$F=3\$.

Example

If we have a straight, each dice appears exactly once. So we have \$M=1\$ and \$F=1\$. Using the bitmasks described in the above table, this leads to:

$$6 \text{ OR } 1 = 7$$

There is another \$7\$ in the table, but it's invalid. Therefore, a straight is uniquely identified by \$7\$.

Commented

a =>                   // a[] = input array, reused as an integer to keep track of the
  a.map(               //       maximum number of occurrences of the same dice (M)
    o =                // o = object used to count the number of occurrences of each dice

        o[n] = -~o[n], //     increment o[n] (we can't have M = 0, so this slot is not used)
      6,               //     M = 1 -> bitmask = 6

Encode the score as a bunch of indexed conditionals. Simpler than my first stringy-regex approach.

Edit- fixed bug and now rank all rolls.

function(d,s=sum(d<2))min(2[s>5],c(11,10,8,6-6*!s-2,4,1)[sum(d==4)],c(7,12,12,9,5,3)[max(table(d))])

Try it online! Link is to verbose version of code. Does not skip 10. Explanation:

≡⌈Ｅθ№θι

Calculate the highest frequency of any digit.

⁶Ｉ⁻²⌕14§θχ

If there is a 6 of a kind, then subtract the position of the digit in the string 14 from 2. This results in 1 for 6 4s, 2 for 6 1s, and 3 for 6 of anything else.

⁵Ｉ⁻⁵⁼⁵№θ4

If there is a 5 of a kind, then the result is 5 unless there are 5 4s, in which case 1 is subtracted.

⁴⎇⁼№θ4⁴§60⁼№θ1²9

If there is a 4 of a kind, then if there are 4 4s then the result is 6 unless there are 2 1s in which case the result is 0, otherwise the result is 9.

¹7

If all the digits are different then the result is 7.

Ｉ⁻¹²⌊⊘Ｘ²№θ4

Otherwise the result is 12 - (4 >> (3 - # of 4s)).

Maps to reversed rank, 0-12. Try it online here, or verify all the test cases at once here.

The full mapping used is as follows:

12: 4 fours and 2 ones.
11: 6 fours.
10: 6 ones.
 9: 6 of any kind except fours and ones.
 8: 5 fours.
 7: 5 of any kind except for fours.
 6: 4 fours.
 5: Straight. (1-6)
 4: 3 fours.
 3: 4 of any kind except 4.
 2: 2 fours.
 1: 1 four.
 0: Nothing.

This works by mapping the dice values to frequencies, then calculating the value of several rules, and taking the maximum of the set.

Output is 0-indexed (0..12).

Explanation:

Replace every 4 with an 'A':

4
A

Sort all the input-digits (the A's will be at the back):

O`.

Every other two lines replaces the input with the expected output:

How it works:

Count occurrences of every number in the array, prepend number of 1s and append number of 4s.

After that, try to match with different regex patterns.
