    Dice Glued Together

    I was in a casino in Biloxi a few months ago, when a funny thing happened. We sometimes use dice that are glued together at home in practice to check our grip; and sometimes we say that the dice appeared to be glued together on a toss at the casino when they travel through the air very close together, spinning in unison.

    To continue on with the Biloxi experience, I was playing early in the morning on a table by myself when I took a drink from a cold bottle of water. Since I was the only player at the table, the dice came back very quickly between throws. For whatever reason, I did not wipe the condensate from the water bottle from my hand completely, leaving some condensate on my fingertips. As I set the dice, I accidentally got some of the condensate on the die faces that butts together. So, when I tossed the dice, to my surprise they were “glued” together literally. This startled me to the extent that I didn’t even notice the end result. I quickly looked at the box and at the dealers, who of course, were watching the dice carefully. Again, to my surprise, no one noticed anything out of the ordinary – or at least they didn’t say anything. Has anybody had a similar experience? And why was it not noticed or mentioned?

    It wouldn’t be really noticed, but I wouldn’t do it again

    Hmm. So, I should find a liquid that lasts 1 second and then evaporates immediately. So many possibilities, but certainly cheating and illegal.

    It would interesting to try, but getting the cold water on your fingers also messes with your grip and release offsetting any gain on "gluing" the dice with moisture. We should never be grabbing our drinks with our throwing hand.

    Just glued my dice, not my fingers, but I almost came close. Hope to give it a try later.

    It worked. I have incorporated it into my practice time. The dice glued together helped me with my delivery and allowed me to see if I was landing flat.

    I like the tables at Mohegan Sun close to the waterfall, because the air is so humid there that it gives my fingers just enough moisture to keep the dice from slipping out of my fingers.

    Good observation, cold rooms with a high humility and new sharp dice helps, but regardless, your grip and delivery is very important. Since its hard enough being an advantage player, I would not repeat this activity since they will use any excuse to take the dice away from us.

    Applying anything to the dice is cheating. Taking the dice away from you is the least of your worries. That can get you thrown in jail.

    NFF is correct stay away from any idea of putting anything on the dice but your dry fingers. We are advantage players not cheaters and its a felony and you really don’t want to find yourself playing cee-lo with bubba 😯 .

    I should emphasize that the condensate from the water battle ACCIDENTALLY ended up on the die faces that stuck together – I didn’t do it on purpose. I agree that I need to be more careful in the future.

    Of course bminus, we believe you. We just want to make sure everyone does not experiment with this intentionally.
