Loaded Dice.

[nutforslots]

How do you tell if the dice you are given are loaded? I have seen them in use but have no idea if there is a way to tell otherwise.

Do the casinos ever use them? I am going bet that they don't. It would be very bad for business.

I just had to ask if anyone out there knew how to tell. It could come in handy at some point.

you can gamble a million years and you will never be handed loaded dice in a casino. the casinos make enough money running a square game. they do not cheat. if someone is switching out the dice, they are switching them back before their roll is up.

I am with wild on this one. The casinos have no reason to cheat. But if you want to read on loaded dice, I found a place for you.

die loads are usually somekind heavy of metal like lead or gold. they drill out one side under the number spots, place the load, then repaint the spot. this will cause the dice to land on that side more often with the desired number facing up. they are not perfect but do give an edge. the loaded dice, like in oceans 13, are for the movies. lol. you wont see them in action except on the big screen...
