To be fair, I had the same question cause this game looks like a mixture of coin flip and Hi-Lo too.
There is 10-sided dice that has a form of pentagonal trapezohedron, so there are numbers from 0-9. When you play dice, you'll see that numbers are like:00.00 up to 99.99. So in this case imagine like you roll dice twice: 1. Rolled dice and got 3 and 4 (got 34.**) and then rolled another dice and got 7 and 3, so finally we got 34.73 by rolling dice twice.
I think this is the most appropriate explanation on question, why those games are called dice.
Topic: Stop calling it DICE. (Read 679 times)
I am amazed why it is called DICE gambling when it has nothing to with dice. RNG picks a number and thats all where is the dice in that. Normally you have to choose in between 10000 numbers not like dice which has only six sides. Apart from that there is no visual animation corresponding to dice throw still there is picture of dice and it says ROLL, and I say LOL.
There not only dice with six sides, there 12 dice, 8 dice, 24 dice and so on. Honest RNG is like a big, very big, n side dice and noone know for sure which "side" (or number) will fall. So you can imagine it as a big dice (so we naming it DICE). There no difference between 6 variant RNG and a simple DICE. They're the same
You do realise that almost every online game online is based on the concept of "RNG picks a number" and spits it out as your result right?
This is the same for blackjack, roulette, slots. How that RNG works out is different, but everything else is visualisation.
Shall we stop calling these blackjack/roulette, slots etc.?
Getting a digital visualisation of a 100,000-sided die shouldn't be a problem at all, if you ever become boss and insist on such things.
Now, if I put six 10-sided dice next to each other as a visualisation for you on a 0-100,000 "dice game", will you be satisfied?
No because you will get 1 000 000 numbers(000 000 to 999 999), not 100 000 This is the same for blackjack, roulette, slots. How that RNG works out is different, but everything else is visualisation.

Moreover OP was speaking about 10 000 numbers games like freebitcoin, not 100 000 
Normally you have to choose in between 10000 numbers not like dice which has only six sides.
If you search about dice in google, the basic and common definition will show so that even average persons can understand what it is.
It's just like comparing the google definition into a book, there will be always a complex but precise definition on old books than google definitions.
Look on this Wikipedia definition, it says that the traditional dice is a cube, so meaning there are different kinds of dice too.

Dice may also have polyhedral or irregular shapes and may have faces marked with numerals or symbols instead of pips. Loaded dice are designed to favor some results over others for cheating or entertainment.

It's a good comment but when you play dice in real life you are absolutely free to roll as many dices you want.Playing with 10 000 numbers as you say, is just virtually rolling 1 666 dices at a time.
10 000 / 6 = 1 666
Well, I have nothing to feel bad to do with it, by name this to dice. But if you literally think and compare it to the real dice you hold and you play physically it seems wrong so it's called dice because you can compare it to the dice because you can't predict what the number will appear when rolling this. This concept can only be replicated in the game of dice because of the mechanics of the game used by online or virtual casinos to make it popular with people playing virtual casinos, and I see no flaw in the way they use it because it's a tactic to get more people to play this simple game.

You may probably right and it's really sounds exaggerated that you need to choose between 1 and 10000 numbers in a dice game because commonly the number of sides of a dice is 6 sides and when you are playing a dice game in a casino they mostly used 2 dice. 
How come just calling a dice game went that far into researching in wikipedia, google and more?
What is the real debate here?
So how are they going to call those kind of games? Roll game maybe? What is rolling? A dice.

they wanted to make amendments about the title of the game,so there will be a hearing from senate and lower house to make this possible
That might help to make it faster.
Hi-lo, maybe?
Sound like a combined Jai Alai and Lotto. Online dice games are evolved from traditional dice games, so I think it ’s okay to call them dice
No, I'll see you in court. There should be something else that will have a better ring to it.

Actually you cant really stop people on making such question but it is really indeed valid to be discussed on.People will surely dig on or make up some simply search.
It isnt a debate though but sharing of ideas and thats the essence of a forum.It not really that bad though to make up some these kind of topics.
Just really laughed out on the image that posted by Lutpin with several types of real life dice. About calling those current dice games nowadays with DICE then just let it be..
I think you should call it "the best gambling game in bitcointalk" since people here seem to like it very much.
oh really ? i didnt notice it . i was also busy lately so i havent read many post from this section .
you said only on bitcointalk but what about on other site or simply other people , do they still like dice game ? well for me i notice outside that people love to play other games because they are enjoyable and winnable compare to dice but hey we arent here to compare dice .
I think OP should add some pool, to see what would community say about which name be more suitable for
this game that we all like to play!
Deisik mentioned hi lo, it could be a good alternative name for dice but having a different name for the game would only confuse others when most of us are used to calling it dice. this game that we all like to play!
This isn't really a big deal for me. As an experienced crypto casino gambler It's natural for us to play new or developed games in the crypto casino because cryptocurrency is part of the new technology and it is just keeping evolving as time goes. Calling it as a dice has no effect with me as long as I know the rules on how to play it, The only thing I am concerned is when a starting gambler heard it, I will be sure that he will think about a real dice with 6 sides which can lead into confusion.
It's not a big deal for me either Abel1337, but this is interesting topic and I think that game deserves to be
called with the right name! I call it dice game too, and I play it, but maybe this name is not suitable, or it's
what I think about it!

I remember when playing the ludo app, in the section get a daily coin you will guess 3 opportunities that will appear 1-6, 7, 8-12 before the roll of the dice, if you choose the right choice, then you will win. I will simplify it into 2 chances namely 1-6 and 7-12, so regardless of the number of dice created on the online dice, if the game mechanism is the same then only 2 opportunities arise.
It's good that you are not urging to change and are just sharing thoughts (based on your last reply) because change is not an option on such a settled matter.
Yes, that is only a matter of thought for all members here. The OP is not urgent, but only conveys his thoughts. I dont think the thinking is wrong, its just that this will make everyone think twice why online dice have quite a big difference despite having the same concept (roll). The appearance may be different but the concept of the game itself makes it the same. The problem is only with numbers, I think. 
Normally you have to choose in between 10000 numbers not like dice which has only six sides.
Lolol. Whooaaa check out those dicezzz duuuude.

I am sorry, but it's such a common name for the game that there's little chance people would change it. And if they decide not to use the word 'dice', what should all the websites like Primedice and Bustadice do with their names...? And what should be the alternative? High-low? Roll? It's good that you are not urging to change and are just sharing thoughts (based on your last reply) because change is not an option on such a settled matter. No because we have corresponding visual animation every time, like spinning roulette with a jumping ball, dealer and player with some cards. But here we do not have any.
Be sure to recommend that to all dice sites then. So I was right, the visualisation is really all it takes to satisfy you, then I'm sure a lot of sites would be happy to accommodate big whales who want to see the dice visuals. Who knows, if you get a petition going it might get some traction? The example I showed is perfect, right?
Well visualization is a big part of online gambling experiencing and most of us here will agree to this. I do not know if my satisfactions is of utmost importance here.
May be the way I wrote the subject of this thread makes people think that I want an immediate change to something which I think is wrong.
But that is not the case I just wanted to share some thoughts on this matter and I am grateful that so many learned members here are finding it worthy enough to ponder some thoughts on it.

Well it's kind of funny but I think the name is not because of the looks of the game but the way and how simple it is to just roll just like a rolling a dice. If you think it in this way that the game is actually a dice but with all real numbers in between. So like a dice from 1 to 6 with infinite real numbers in between each digits

great observation mate and yeah,why called Dice when it wasnt really a dice game?or maybe this is called dice because of the harden chance of winning?lol but i get your point and it is indeed not good to call as it.How come just calling a dice game went that far into researching in wikipedia, google and more?
