Loaded Dice? 

@@topherthe11th23 That has an advantage of working with dice that are not bouyant as well.

@@topherthe11th23 That's interesting. You wouldn't need to use all 4 orientations; just using two orientations should be enough. If the cube was balanced along only one axis (weight is radially distributed around the axis but one corner is heavier than the opposite), reorienting the cube so that said axis is now horizontal would uncover the imbalance between the two corners.

Now I’m wondering if it’ll work with soup broth lol

@@topherthe11th23 but then you have to keep whatever hairbrained contraption you've attempted to describe on hand, which is markedly more complicated than just... salt and water i suspect you're aware of that, but satire is awfully difficult to discern through text.

Is urine a reasonable substitute? Asking for a friend.

I was about to comment this: casinos are already aware of this issue and use their own special dice to get around it.

Yes. Also the pips are filled flush with the die face unlike those here. Casinos and manufacturers are incredibly cautious about such things.

I believe they are also translucent so that weights cannot be concealed inside

Another issue with commonly bought dice that isn't discussed here is that dice with rounded corners are tumbled to create the rounded corners - thrown in giant metal drums and rattled around until they have rounded corners. Problem with this is that the dice cease to be balanced. If you want balanced dice with rounded corners, the backgammon community has dice similar to casino dice (in so far as they are precision milled to be as close to perfectly balanced as possible)

​@@topherthe11th23 The thing is that anyone who could do such a thing is probably very good at sleight of hand anyways. Capable enough to swap the casino dice for loaded dice and back again

Oof.

I don’t get it

Honestly, same

not even weekly, few times weekly

No, the fill would be a *lot* cheaper. Dealing with this by varying the diameters of the holes means you need to operate and maintain 6 different sets of high precision bits, with attendant jigs, placement in the jigs, tool changes, etc. And you need a complicated quality control process to ensure that no single hole is out of tolerance in any direction. Since the fill on casino style dice is the same density as the body material, it genuinely doesn't matter if one hole is slightly bigger, smaller, deeper, or rougher than it's supposed to be. So long as it's not a cosmetic issue, it's totally fine. This means they can just cast the holes right into the body of the die with no risk of weighting the die. The old school way of balancing casino die sides was to use the same bit for each side and then control the depths of the holes. That's still a lot cheaper than dealing with varied diameters. Even so, this was largely abandoned for the fill method. All this being said, I do find it somewhat amusing that casinos put as much effort as they did into ensuring they had fair dice as the games they use them in were never fair to begin with.

@@ColonelSandersLite Interesting, thanks.

​@@ColonelSandersLite the games may be unfair, but they are *precisely*, *transparently*, and *verifiably* unfair.

Yeah, I noticed the edges were all chipped and uneven, the paint job was horrible... they wouldn't be my first choice of dice.

This is a really good comment

In casinos, "the long run" is the only thing that matters. In a lot of games, the casino has an edge of only a few percent. So, if a player can cheat in a way that makes them win maybe 5% more often, they'll start winning money instead of losing money (on average)

Maybe the paint would wear off over time...

The ink would have some minimal amount of weight as well. I think filling it back would be the ideal solution

​@@BackForwardPunchAnd that's what casino dice do!

There's a major problems with that approach though - The paint gets worn off surprisingly quickly. It's a widely known issue in nerdier circles. Dice without some form of etched/carved/impressed markings have all the durability of wet tissue paper.

Gamers 😎

Hahahahahaha no.

@@ColonelSandersLite not if it were ceramic.

@@phonotical Pretty sure it wouldn't really help. That being said, I'm too tired to go into the details of *why* that is right now. If you did it a certain way, you would be dramatically increasing expense for a marginal gain. If you did it another way you would be marginally increasing expense for no real benefit.

@@ColonelSandersLite how about you put some effort in to your answer if you're just going to come here, disagree with the first comment you see and the espouse total bs

You didn't understand a single thing that was told to you, did you?

I realize the word 'also' is two syllables, but follow it along with your finger and sound it out like a big boy. You'll figure it out.

The 6 side is lighter because of the extra material removed from the pips. You'd be more likely to roll a six

@@nr-zr5cl Oh you think I'm...complaining or blaming him? I'm not.

@@daddyleon LOOK HERE! LOOK! LISTEN! appearing offline does not stop it! stop giving advice on things you know nothing about!

@@nr-zr5cl Sorry? Did you mean to write it eslewhere?

@@daddyleon mods ban anyone who KNOWS what i said

That would rub off with time.

True, but then you can rotate the numbers like the tires on your car, and even out any effects from it being weighted too! At least on at the scale of an astronomical amount of dice-rolls ;)@@Gameboygenius

@@UmaROMC I'm more concerned with not seeing the numbers any more. :)
