Dice Twister

A die (Old French de, from Latin datum "something given or played") is a small polyhedral object, usually cubical, used for generating random numbers or other symbols. This makes dice suitable as gambling devices, especially for craps or sic bo, or for use in non-gambling tabletop games.

Traditionally, a die is seldom seen alone, and is rather one of a pair of identical dice that are sized to be comfortably rolled or thrown, together, from a user's hand. Because of this, the singular word "die" is rare, but treating "dice" as interchangeably singular or plural is less common.

A traditional die is a cube (often with corners slightly rounded), marked on each of its six faces with a different number of circular patches or pits called pips. All of these pips have the same appearance within a pair, or larger set of dice, and are sized for ease of recognizing the pattern the pips on one face form. The design as a whole is aimed at each die providing one randomly determined integer, in the range from one to six, with each of those values being equally likely.

More generally, a variety of analogous devices are often described as dice, but necessarily in a context, or with a word or two preceding "die" or "dice", that avoids the assumption that traditional dice are intended. Such specialized dice may have cubical or other polyhedral shapes, with faces marked with various collections of symbols, and be used to produce other random results than one through six. There are also "loaded" or "crooked" dice (especially otherwise traditional ones), meant to produce skewed or even predictable results, for purposes of deception or amusement.

You can place various bets on what the outcome of a three dice roll will be. Move your mouse over a corresponding bet area and click on the arrows to increase or decrease your bet amount. The amount you have bet on any bet area, is shown on the top of that bet area. Your total stake (sum of all bets for the next round) is displayed on the lower edge of the screen. Each of the bets has a different payout, written on the corresponding bet area.

Bets:

Totals - you bet that the total of the three dice on the next roll will be a certain number. You can place a total bet on sums 4 - 17.

Numbers - choose one number from 1 to 6. You win according to the number of dice that show that number after the next roll. If no die shows that number, you lose your bet.

Hi, Mid, Lo - bet that the sum of three dice on the next roll will be in a certain range. The ranges are LO (3 to 8), MID (9 to 12) and HI (13 to 18).

Odd, Even, Mix - bet that all dice will show either an even number, odd number, or are mixed (show both even and odd numbers).

When finished placing bets, click Spin . After the dice have stopped, your bets will be settled. You can then click Rebet to place the same bets again.
