The number $X$ of 6
's in 4 trials has $X \sim \mathsf{Binom}(n=4,p=1/6)$ and
he number $Y$ of 6
's in 8 trials has $Y \sim \mathsf{Binom}(n=8,p=1/6).$
In R, $P(X \ge 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 0.5177.$
1-dbinom(0, 4, 1/6)
[1] 0.5177469
By contrast, $P(Y \ge 2) = 1 - P(X \le 1) = 0.3953,$ smaller than above.
1 - pbinom(1, 8, 1/6)
[1] 0.3953231
By simulation of a million games of each type:
set.seed(1120)
x = replicate(10^6, sum(sample(1:6, 4, rep=T)==6))
mean(x >= 1)
[1] 0.517721 # aprx 0.5177
y = replicate(10^6, sum(sample(1:6, 8, rep=T)==6))
mean(y >= 2)
[1] 0.395072 # aprx 0.3953 +/- 0.001
2*sd(y >= 2)/1000
[1] 0.0009777328 # 95% margin of simulation error
In each figure below, the histogram summarizes simulated values and the (centers of) red circles show exact binomial probabilities.
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
hist(x, prob=T, br = (-1:4)+.5, col="skyblue2")
points(0:4, dbinom(0:4, 4, 1/6), col="red")
hist(y, prob=T, br = (-1:8)+.5, col="skyblue2")
points(0:8, dbinom(0:8, 8, 1/6), col="red")
par(mfrow=c(1,1))
Bottom line: There are only $625$ chances in $1296$ to lose the first game and $1\,015\,625$ chances in $1\,679\,616$ to lose the second.
