Rolling the dice can seem like a fun and casual thing to do like any other forms of child plays. It can also be an exciting and intriguing yet still harmless thing to play with when used in amateur fortune-telling, future predictions or in chance games involving love and romance.
However, dice rolling is a very delicate and complicated issue when it comes to traditional casino games, where big wagers are at stake. This is because there have been a number of ways that have been schemed so that the seemingly harmless act of dice rolling can be controlled by the thrower so it turns over a desired number or a pair of numbers needed to snag the pot money, which could be worth thousands or millions of dollars.
Various forms of controlling dice rolling include rhythm rolling (holding and throwing the dice in a particular way); dice setting (using different combinations of positioning and holding two dice in the hands); and various controlled hand maneuvers like the blanket roll, the spin shot, the whip shot and cartwheeling, among others. There were also some dice that were found to be shaped or manufactured to give a biased result or probability, like varying the weights of the sides or either trimming or sharpening the edges to control a rebound.
Casino houses have devised ways to prevent dice rolling cheats from damaging the reputation of the gaming establishments. These include using a dice throwing cup (but which can also be altered or controlled) and using fool-proof backboards and interfaces and installing closed circuit television cameras.
Dice rolling cheats can also happen in virtual or casino online gaming. There are a few instances where casino software was found to be ill-designed so that the simulated rebounding of the dice against a backboard can be altered by the online operator.
