\nI was in Biloxi over the past four days and noticed that at (some?) casinos
\n\tthe dice felt heavy. Could be me.<\/p>\n

\tI just weighed 6 GTC dice and they weighed 2 ounces, which equates to
\n\tone-third ounce each die, and the GTC dice feel lighter in comparison.
\n\tIs the weight regulated? Are the GTC dice the same weight as for some
\n\tcasinos? <\/p>\n

\tAre the dice at the casinos different in sizes and therefore weigh
\n\tdifferent? Are the GTC dice the smaller of different sizes?
\n\tAnyone has any ideas on this?<\/p>\n

Casino dice are usually stated as to size and not weight, but if the die are larger then they would be heavier.<\/p>\n

\tThe dice sizes are stated as 0.755 inches and 0.775 inches.<\/p>\n

\tYes, I notice the difference in these sizes and go to different casinos that use each of these two sizes of die.<\/p>\n

Note in the two images above, that the 0.755 die will fit in the original GTC Gripper, while the 0.775 die will not seat down in the GTC Gripper.<\/p>\n

\tIf you can obtain the dice from a casino you can measure the size of the die or if you have a Gripper, you can see if they will fit.<\/p>\n

\tStaple has some very delicate postage stamp weighing machines. Take two different size die into Staples and give them a try.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yes, I have one of those letter weighing scales.
\n\tThat was what I used to weigh the dice I mentioned.
\n\tWeighed six GTC dice at 2 ounces, to get a more accurate 1\/3 oz each.<\/p>\n

\tSo the GTC dice I have are the smaller of the two sizes, then.<\/p>\n

\tTo get one of those casino die which feels heavier, for weighing,
\n\tmy next time at the casino I will pocket a die that falls off the table,
\n\t… no ‘SAME DICE!’ for that randy, LOL.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
