matching dice pair

Spread the love


I remember reading one of Frank’s books about how to match up two dice
by placing them together with certain faces. Couldn’t find it just now.
Anyone remember how to do the match-up?

Are there dice that don’t match?
Must the dice pair used in the casinos match?
What if they don’t, would they show a number more than another?
Should we then check for a match before accepting for a throw?

Did that help any?

Finisher, Thanks for the answer to the first part of my question.
CIII’s post showed two different dice,
the "A" die, with the 3 and 2 pointed to the 6, and
the "B" die, with the 3 and 2 pointed to the 1,
indicating that there are two configurations.

So I imagine that an "A" die must be paired with another "A" die,
or a "B" die must be paired with another "B" die to yield the resulting
number combinations we accept as normal.
Then the question is ..
Will a mixed pair (one "A" and one "B") yield the same combinations
as a matched pair ("A" and "A", or "B" and "B")?
If not, what are the differences in the yields and would the mixed pair
be illegal in casinos?

I think in a casino they come 5 with the same number on them .That is way they look at them after they go off the table for one thing. There are others on this site that can explain these things better and there are old posts about this subject .
I love Clll charts and Pics.
Good Rolling. 😀 😀 😀

The dice do come from the manufacturer with the same number imprinted on them. However, before the dice are put into play, the pit boss or supervisor has a special marker, and writes the table number on the dice. At least that is what I have seen. Perhaps some casinos write something else. The pit boss is then looking at the die to make sure it hasn’t been switched by the person picking it up off the floor. The 5 dice with the identical number should be equal in size and weight.

I believe it was Stickman who discovered that the green dice that we used to sell were of a slightly different weight than the red ones, and so we stopped buying and selling them. Some people liked to throw one red and one green to determine how each one was reacting, but with different weights, the results would not be accurate.
