I think the major problems Scrabulous had was not that their game played like Scrabble, but that they used part of the name Scrabble in the name, looked exactly like the game Scrabble, and became hugely popular on Facebook.
Your "Dice Game" on the other hand would probably would go unnoticed.
However, if you plan to rename it "Jiggie", which I see in the second screenshot, that might not be such a good idea.
Also, I'd try to find something to spice the game up, make it different. Why not make one of the dice red with white dots, and make that one special somehow?
Also, just a game designc omment... Putting the number of dots above the die is completely uneccessary. :-) And that space would be better used as it is in poker games... For a button which you can toggle to hold one of the dice.
But I may be forgetting how Yatzee is played. Maybe you can't hold dice. But hey, that would be good, just another way to make your game different.
And the more different it is, the better if you're that concerned about getting sued.
