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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>\tI 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.<\/p>\n<p>\tGoddess<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Finisher on December 26, 2012, 9:25 pm<\/p>\n<div>Goddes Hmmm I did not know this practice with one green and one red from GTC .
