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?

You could invite your friends over and gamble on rolling 6-sided dices if you so wish. However betting on events with only 6 possible outcomes means that the odds on these outcomes will be much lower than on, say, 100 possible outcomes. That's why people prefer to bet on these 'unreal' online dice sites where they can chase these elusive 9900x odds Wink

The reason is that you can get an infinite amount of sides on a dice, and still call it a dice game.

Casinos usually go up to the nearest hundredth decimal place, which means that there is "10,000 sides" in the dice, if you like.

People like to have more possibilities than 6 outcomes. People like the idea of having control over their own bets, choosing their own odds. And bitcoin dice offers that. If you want to play traditional dice, then maybe you should try sites like pocketdice.io.

Maybe the logo where we see a picture of a dice would justify that they are operating a dice game, never thought of that before actually until I see your post. You have a great observation and I cannot further explain why it's called as dice, the only thing I know is that games gives us fast result and that is fun when we are so lucky.

More numbers more variative way to win ! compare if you play with real dice ( 1-6 )
The important parts is no matter what dice they offer, make sure that their algorithm is provably fair usually you will got the recommendation from expert of community feedback

It's still the same though, regardless of how many numbers your dice game has. It still has a chance of winning and a payout. The payout will always not be an equal EV and usually they will put a house edge and thus is always negative EV. So no matter how you spin off the dice, it will just be the same hi-lo game.

Developing a dice game with six faces getting rolled along with the graphic, multimedia and algorithmic program might be tedious and not easily understandable. The present dice games were easily understandable, for which such a simple way of dice is used in most of the websites.

interesting question, since it is not really "dice" so i don't know why they call it that. but i suppose part of this game design is because you can actually change the chance of win/lose whereas in a 6 sided dice you will always have the same chance. you pick a number among only 6 choices and roll. that is it!

but in these "dice" games, you can have from 0.01% chance to 99.99% chance of winning or losing based on your choice.

Yup mostly this and because the multiplier will also be the same with a 6 sided dice some people would want to change it in their own preferred multiplier.

For OP.
Some users already mentioned pocketdice as a (2)6 sided dice they have a higher house edge compared to the most popular dice sites now.

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.

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)

i thought about this but the 6 sided dice would become boring so fast because you can't really make any strategies based on it and it is just picking number out of 6 numbers which is not a good chance of winning. (1 out of 6 instead of 50%=1 out of 2).

and if i wanted to do that i would play a coin flip which has only 2 results, heads or tails, and have a completely 50-50 chance kind of game to play.

When i first encounter about a dice game when i was still a newbie and dont have any idea about gambling when i do first heard about dice game i thought the same as yours which a dice game whose sides are 6 and just betting on what would be the number would roll out but when i tried to play its really a different story.

Thats exactly what I thought when I knew online bitcoin dice game, I thought it is a 6 sided dice like what I experienced in real life dice game. Actually there is pocketdice which can fulfil your needs, pocketdice uses 2 dices and the rolling is like what actual dice should be.
I my self prefer to bet on dice site with 0-99 number because it is more fun than actual 6 sided dice.

Correct, it would be boring and going like you are going on a real Casino if here in the gambling sites, we could also see a 6 sided Dice, that is why they have implemented this idea that a Dice game here on the online Casinos would not be a 6 sided Dice instead a 1-100% random numbers, I mean the chances of winning is base on the percentage that you have set before you make a roll is completely random.

Though we can't see a 6 sided Dice rolling, but, the truth is it is like an imaginary Dice that we are playing here in the Online Casinos.

Well it is a gambling game which is used to bet to win easy money, many people will be attracted by it, so, the house will do something to make these game easier for them to earn profit, than the gamblers, so they increase the risk by making the 6 faced dice into 100 faced dice. Higher risk for the gamblers, higher profit for them.
