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.<\/p>\n<p>\t Then, run the dice down the pyramids, and you will see and feel the dice hit the flat parts of the pyramids.
