If you have played The Witcher or The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, you're familiar with Dice Poker, the addictive little minigame that came with the first two games, and that has been replaced by the card game Gwent in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Dice poker is an addictive game played throughout the The Continent, and it is very popular in Temeria. If you are good enough, it is a great way of making money. After finding a starter box of dice, Geralt is given the quest A Game of Dice. Opponents can be found far and wide as it seems mercenaries took it with them to the farthest reaches of the kingdoms as they scattered after the war.
In The Witcher 2, you can earn a lot of extra orens and get additional experience points by playing minigames. You can play Dice Poker, Arm Wrestling and indulge yourself in Fistfighting. Make a wager and roll the dice to start a game of Dice Poker (left). Best two-out-of-three wins the game. Instead of numbered and face cards, your 'hands' consist of dice results, using largely the same rules as regular poker (right). You roll five dice, and then you can select any number of dice to reroll.
Lead Quest Designer Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz explained on the official forums that at one point in time the team wanted to have both minigames in their latest title, but the idea was discarded for production reasons.

Dice Poker simply could not be translated to the new game without recreating it from scratch for technical reasons, and this would have required programmers, designers and artists to work on it for a long time. Due to time constraints and the large number of new features that have been implemented, this was not considered possible. There simply weren't enough people to work on both minigames and the rest of the game, so after long discussions the team had to choose.
The folks at CD Projekt are aware that not everyone may be happy with the decision, but they wanted a chance to create a new minigame instead of just making the same for the first time. Tomaszkiewicz understands that some will be dissatisfied, but hopes that they'll give Gwent a chance when the game will be released.
Asked whether it'd be possible for Dice Poker to return as DLC, Tomaszkiewicz mentioned that he'd throw the proposal at the team, but knowing the production plans, it's very unlikely, and he doesn't want to create false hopes or make empty promises.

Tomaszkiewicz explained that there has been fierce discussion on this among the team as well. House advantage craps. It has been a long process with different versions of the board and the decks experimented on, but in the end they went with suspension of disbelief because the minigame is supposed to be a light-hearted break from the seriousness of the story. They focused fully on the fun of the game, even at the cost of breaking immersion and lore a bit.
The cards include several winks for the fans of the previous games and the books, and Tomaszkiewicz feels that its pure 'fun factor' compensates for breaking the fourth wall.
In addition to this, we get more information from Level Designer Miles Tost, who mentioned that the effect following sword swings cannot be deactivated, because it serves as visual feedback between weak and strong attacks.

He also mentioned that he's 'superproud' of what the team has achieved:
