Lol you be really serious Grin. That's not what they mean by dice. Well basically you can say dice has two meanings one the 6 sided cube and other the gambling one. They call it dice because a number is rolled and if it is lesser than for example 10 you win or else you lose. If you think this explaination isn't sufficient then what name would you keep for a game like this?

The contribution I can add to that is since you can not lay your hands on an actual dice, then the developers have to form a concept based on the view of what is obtainable when we roll a live dice that the winner is determined by rolling higher or lower than a particular figure. But even in this case we have online, you have the ability to even control you chances of winning.

Do you mean craps? Because craps and dice are very different things, craps is just a game played WITH dice but it is not the dice game, it is just one variation. Dice that we play on bitcoin World most of the time is pure random number generator and I believe it doesn’t resemble dice game but dice isn’t dice is not the right way to put it, dice isn’t craps is the right question you are asking.

A six sided dice game would be to easy to win money on, so they put a hundred numbers in the game so you can waste money and they can earn big loads of money off you.
You are completely wrong brother, having six sided dice will not increase odd of winning. Site can easily earn good amount in profit with house edge.

I noticed that all of the dice sites don't resemble rolling actual dice. They just give a random number between 1 and 100. Why is that? I don't know if I would call that dice. Seems more like pick high or low and bet on what number will be generated.

Do people not like actual 6 sided dice?


yeah because representing a real dice doesn't make sense, with a dice you have 1/6 chance to win with their dice game you have 50 and 50, with 1% or more to the house, i think this is the reason why they can't make a real dice

i think is not important for gamblers as they only thinking about how to win the games. since its only a games that money involve and gamblers is enjoy when they played, i think they don't mind if the random number between 1 and 100. beside that, the purpose of gamblers playing games is to make money from the games they played and they only choose the games that they have good experience and they can played with good.

it depend from which side people look it and dice with random number between 1 to 100 makes people easy to pick because usually the choice only two and that's low or high however the chance is not so different such as 6 sides dice but this is happening only for online dice site not for physical dice

Really interesting thought , according to wikipedia here  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dice_games , there is no a dice game rolls from 0 to 99.99.
Looks like we have a misleading/misguided definition about that game for long time enough.
The real dice game is of course rolling the two standard six-sided pipped dice with rounded corners, as time goes by it has changed.

very interesting, this topic also makes me wonder why we are even calling it dice then. and it is not a new thing, i know the first game that came out was called something dice then the primedice thing came out and ever since we have been calling this game as dice!

maybe it had something to do with the RNG and how the random number was generated in the beginning! we need someone with a bit of history knowledge here Smiley

to make it simple, just imagine it as a 100 sided dice where  you chose a certain range for odds. but  if I imagine it, it is more of a flipping a coin where we have to bet on one of the side of it.  As of the actual sided dice, it would be cool to see if some gambling site will have a game like that.

How did these happen? We are just gambling, playing dice but the whole time we are being fooled? But I am playing Dice game in KingDice.com which is, they are using 6 faced dice but there are no dots in there, there are ust random numbers in the dice's face. Then if it is not a dice game? how can we call it?

This is true all online dice games are just using some hashes to generate the random numbers for each rolls. Actually no dice site have that classic game about what OP is looking for. In bitcoin community this is much popular and that is why dice sites are running.

Do people not like actual 6 sided dice?
Have you checked https://pocketdice.io/ they have actual six sided dice. They are also pretty old and can be trusted, i have played with them personally for many times without any problems.
On top of that, some Dice operators present dice outcome in the form of traditional two dice roll animation, KingDice does that.
Maybe it is something that can be pleasing for more old school and traditional type of gamblers?

The game we call Dice is not standard dice rolling. I don't know who first named it that way, but it is just semantics, personally I don't pay attention to it at all.

About perfect, or the best kind of Dice: stop looking, there is no such thing.

there has been a lot of different kinds of dice, i have even seen the 6 sided thing you say once. but they never interest anybody so to answer your question i say no people don't like actual 6 sided dice, apparently.

what seems to be the point of interest of majority of gamblers is this current type of dice game which is in fact a hi-lo game. and i also think the reason is because it is flexible. which means you can have a lot of routs to take in order to make a simple bet with so many different strategies and so many different "chances to win" and that makes this type of game interesting.

I think the odds of winning will be higher if they just put that kind of Dice which is the real one.
That is why they made it to the higher numbers.
At other gambling sites it is call hi-low, I guess it is stuck with them.
I dont know if anyone file a complaint about this. You could start it if you want to.
That's funny, there is nothing wrong with the actual format of the game, in the end it's proven probably fair and we all play for a chance to win.
In real dice it has 6 sides and I don't find it very attractive for gamblers, at least in the dice game that we are playing, we can choose what odds we want.
One gambler could choose a bigger payout and the other one could choose a lower payout and everything depends on their luck.

Some people prefer to play at low payouts like 98% or even lower like 98.99% while other people tend to try their luck at higher payouts like 0.01% or even higher 0.0001%. And I am sure those payouts wont available at 6-sided dice game.
true! and it is a lot more risky to do such.. even i, i have tried playing with a chance even at 50% and i'll just close my eyes every roll cause i dont want to see right away if i win or lose. lol. i dont usually try my luck at those chances because i always stick to 98%.. he pay out maybe small but atleast im gaining profit than not at all.

I prefer with dice game just like now. It's more fun compare 6 sided dice. If you want a real dice game (6 sided dice), just go to pocket dice, because they are the only one gambling site which offers betting like "real dice" or 6 sided dice.

but in these "dice" games, you can have from 0.01% chance to 99.99% chance of winning or losing based on your choice.
There are some dice site which have 1% - 98% chance of winning (Rollin.io) and 0.0001% - 98.99% winning chance (Justdice, Bitdice, Bit-Exo)
Actually don't go to pocket dice.
There is an accusation they are not paying their players now and withholding winnings.
I think the site has gone bust so this is why they are not being able to do payouts.
