Striker,
I have noticed the same thing.
I don’t know that I have seen it addressed before.
My guess based on my own experience is on the way down.
Less forward energy left in the dice therefore softer contact with the wall.
I am sure it won’t be long before someone gives us the real answer.
Great question, I will be standing by for the answer myself.

The dice should hit the pyramids on the way down. If you look at your practice rigs, and run the dice up the pyramids, you will see and feel the dice hit the points of the pyramids. The points exaggerate the randomness of the result.

Then, run the dice down the pyramids, and you will see and feel the dice hit the flat parts of the pyramids. Thus, the dice can fall to the table and stop.

Wow, interesting and another aspect of my toss to work on.
Thanks for the question and thanks Goddess for a great explanation.

What if they hit a Sphinx instead of just a pyramid?

I meant to ask this a long time ago but and then forgot. In reviewing posts I came across this again and wanted to make sure I got more information

I am having problems understanding the Goddesses comments regarding hitting the pyramids on the way down? I know when I get those close to the wall jump up and hit the bottom of the pyramids and bam straight back down and stop but I need to understand how to hit the pyramids on the way back down. Higher bounces off the initial hit? Trajectory? Your help is appreciated.

It’s complicated.
Too many variables.
Hope for the best, is my guess.
The pyramids do have a sinister purpose.
The casinos put them there, not for our enjoyment.
Waiting for an interesting answer, myself.
But not holding my breath. Good luck.

Are you sure that they are double pitching???
If they are hitting the wall on the way up it is more likely that they are yawing and going to the side in opposite directions.
You need to note ALL of the dice faces not just the top faces to know for sure. If one goes left and the other goes right look at the vertical faces. This happens often when they hit the wall on the way up.
