â Non-Conventional Dice Roller
Use the following virtual dice roller to mimic dice that have a different number of faces from the conventional 6-faced die. The most common physical dice have 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 20 faces respectively, with 6-faced die comprising the majority of dice. This virtual dice roller can have any number of faces and can generate random numbers simulating a dice roll based on the number of faces and dice.

Dice Shapes
The most commonly used dice shapes include:
- âĸ Tetrahedron: 4 faces
- âĸ Cube: 6 faces (most common)
- âĸ Octahedron: 8 faces
- âĸ Pentagonal trapezohedron: 10 faces
- âĸ Dodecahedron: 12 faces
- âĸ Icosahedron: 20 faces
Randomness in Dice
Based on probability, a die should have equal probability of landing on each face. However, mass-produced dice cannot be truly random due to manufacturing imperfections and asymmetries. Virtual dice like this one use pseudo-random algorithms that are closer to true randomness than most physical dice.
Common Uses
Dice are used in various applications including tabletop games (Monopoly, Risk, Dungeons & Dragons), gambling, probability education, decision making, and statistical sampling. They provide an easy way to generate random numbers for any situation requiring chance or unpredictability.
Testing Dice Fairness
Although it may not be the most accurate way to test how random your dice is, one relatively quick test you can do involves just a container, some water, and some salt:
- Get a container that can fit the die you want to test
- Fill the container with water, then add salt and the die to the water â if the die doesn't float, add more salt until the die floats
- Flick the die and take note of which side faces upwards â repeatedly flick the dice and record the results
For a well-balanced die, you can expect a variety of numbers. If it is not well balanced, you will be more likely to notice certain numbers occurring more often. However, unless this test is performed numerous times, or the dice is heavily unbalanced, the user is not likely to notice a significant difference.
