| | Dice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Dice are thrown to provide (supposedly uniformly distributed) random numbers for gambling and other games and thus are a type of hardware random number generator. | | | A typical dice game today is craps, wherein two dice are thrown at a time, and wagers are made on the total value of up-facing spots on the two dice. | | | They were once almost exclusively used by fortune-tellers and in other occult practices, but they have become popular lately among players of wargames, trading card games, German-style board games, and role-playing games. |

| | While dice with playing cards faces (A, K, Q, J, 10, 9) are often used, the game can be played with regular dice. | | | You are going to play a game of "high roll". | | | All Western dice are now made with he same handedness; if you place a die on the table with the one spot face up and turn it until the two spot is toward your left, the three will be to the right. |

| | These types of gaffed dice are variously called "shapes", "bricks", or "flats", because they are not perfectly square. | | | As you can see in the scan from an old crooked gambling supply house catalog, by using the dice loaded for the 1 and the 2-6, the dice will act as "missers" and crap out more often than normal. | | | The deuce - four die has a special "mark", so you can tell which one it is. You can examine it all day long and unless you know what you are looking for, you won't spot the mark, which is visible in the photo. |

| | modelflying.co.uk - Feature 1 - Loaded Dice III |
| | The very first prototype Loaded Dice was used in competition in '89, and yes, there were sceptics/critics then, as now, who were adamant that the 'scale-ish' appearance and huge canopy would not provide a satisfactory performance for top competition. | | | Loaded Dice III was developed during my 'transition' from competition to exhibition type flying so required more time and effort to strike the right compromise, just one of the reasons it has taken so long to reach publication. | | | Loaded Dice is a typical example, simplicity developed with few concessions to complexity and as the design progressed so to did I. The moral: Don't take too much notice of those who would have you think that hi-tech models are superior. |
