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 666 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.

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

Hi-lo, maybe?
I know that the name may refer to another type of game, which has nothing to do with dice. However, in the early history of online crypto gambling (not sure if there is or was offline crypto gambling, but bear with me), what we refer to here as dice had sometimes been dubbed a hi-lo game. You bet on the outcome which is either above or below a certain number on a scale of 0 to 100 (with decimals involved in more recent implementations), and in that fashion you are betting on a higher or lower number. Hence hi-lo

It's not a big deal but I understand what OP is telling and it's not a dice. But we get used to it and there are certain logical reasons why it should be called as a dice whether you don't see it like that.
This is how you understand and if you don't like the term, call it what you want to call but the label that's been tagged to it for a very long time in the crypto gambling industry will still remain calling it as a dice.

I guess we are just being too literal on words. We all know, after all, that everything is done online and through RNG. I mean, what's the fuss?
Or should we just stick to what words typically or even traditionally mean and invent a new one every time a new variation comes out?
What I am trying to say is that we are actually overthinking about it and are complicating things. A dice could have 8 sides as a coin could be a square.
This could be my last response on this thread, I think I'm going to be sick just by thinking LoL.
(Oyeah, I remember the old coins, they surely has an edge...)

We are, and we don't need a further discussion about this topic as we all know that dice games are not literally based dice format in terms of chances of winning for both gambling site and gamblers, casinos do operate for a profit so it's normal that they have the edge and what matters is that the game is provably fair although we also have to accept that we don't have an edge on this game.

I does tell me that Dice is only on a form of a CUBE which has 6 sides just like the OP says, and the image above is just a mere replicas but doesn't suit to be called a DICE.
Though mindrust has a point in which DICE IRL are seems to be different compared to online casinos but still uses the same way of algos.

So what can we call it now since you don't wanna call it Dice game?sorry but i think you lose a lot in Dice this past days that's why you felt like even the game name you want to be change.This has been called Dice even before you learn Online Gambling and why just now that you are pointing this out?there should be a appropriate reason for this issue
anyway whatever you wanna name this yet i will enjoy playing since it is what i love to play for long time now.
The first gambling platform that called it a "dice" should be the one being questioned here in the first place. Tag him.
Six sides or not if they call it a dice we should respect them.

That's exactly what should we do,and if OP don't feel that way then He can choose another game that he has no issue at all.

I also dont like their set our chance to win, for ex we set chance to win is 50% to win, is that really 50 we have chance to win?
i dont think so because sometime i can lose until 10 strike lose ,that already compare to my balance from raising after lose.
so i think game like that is also not fair.

Okay lets make up some research when it comes to dice;
a small cube with each side having a different number of spots on it, ranging from one to six, thrown and used in gambling and other games involving chance.

You got actually the point but in general sense it being embraced on how dice game being called yet it do roll out numbers and waiting up for the result.
yeah it do range from 1-6 on a typical or physical dice but online dice site do alter it out into a bigger picture and still adopting out that word.
But the game isn't about a dice, or picking a number from 1-6 it is about prediction whether it will be high or low with neut at 49.9. So most probably this is called a dice because like a dice, when you roll it, there will only single number at the top which is a winning number. They are similar in having a single winning number/side. yeah it do range from 1-6 on a typical or physical dice but online dice site do alter it out into a bigger picture and still adopting out that word.

In fact, to be honest, I have always wondered why such nomenclature was made in me. Usually, it is meaningless for me to make such a naming for such games. After all, there is no dice that we are rolling around, and it is a type of game where predictions such as "High", "Low" are made. Personally, my idea here is that this type of games is named just like there are some terms in the crypto money world. For example, although there is no word "Hodl" in English, crypto investors constantly use this term. In other words, I think that this kind of games is called "Dice" as well. Of course, this is only my personal opinion, I cannot claim or prove such a thing.
what is have special about Dice games?
maybe it's easy to play, and it gain popularity as it was introduce in the early days of crypto
It is also the easiest to develop
As you might remember (and if you cannot, let me remind you then), one of the first, if not the first ever, crypto casinos was called PrimeDice (it is still called so), and for a good reason. Quite a few other online casinos started out with just dice, and it is no surprise. Once you have a proper RNG, either hardware or software, designing a gambling engine is a breeze. As I suspect, developing auxiliary stuff like deposits and withdrawals (aka infrastructure) will require much more in terms of both time and effort
What happens when you "throw" dice in both worlds(physical & virtual worlds)? Random numbers are "generated" in the air and computer, right? So that is probably a fair representation of both randomness.
I guess the most important thing is that it has sides, can be "thrown" to generate random numbers,etc
By the way, if it is easy or possible to add 1000 sides to physical dice will that make it less of a dice?
Virtual or cyber world kind of breaks the limit of physical representation of things (or virtual "dice" in this case... which reduces the limits of having only few sides). This is just my opinion, assuming I understand the post correctly.
In regards to the aspect on dice picture, guess it could show a dice with 1000 sides in summary... let say the dice Pic has 1—6 sides, on the 6th side you write "6 to 1000".

There are many types of dice. The definition from "what is math" is this: A die (plural "dice") is a solid object with markings on each face used for random numbers when playing games.
I have seen myself 4-sided dice, 10-sided and even 20-sided and I am told there are many more types of dice. D120 seems to be in existence and according to some theoretical explanations there can be 100,000-sided dice built, here are some ideas.

honestly to this day I never understood why most sites have Dice games and why so many people like Dice games?
Because dice is popular, most early gamblers in crypto are playing dice and a certain site is offering a single game only which is dice. Now, slowly dice sites has become a casino, they are offering a lot of games for gamblers to choose from, but despite that, dice popularity is still here.
Some sportsbook are even adding dice in their platform, and this is rare, an exchange site has a dice game in their site, I'm talking about yobit, but not sure if their still a dice game in their site now.

DICE has already become as part of the brand name of gambling sites in the crypto space, and I think no one can change it anymore.
Yeah and the way how it plays right we can really tell that they have similar actions but as I said earlier the only difference between them is the other played physically and the other is played online, It's no used to have a debate on this since the answer is very clear hopefully the OP will understand the simple explanation regarding on his questions and doubts about the dice.
It will be a never ending argument, you have your own right to not call the game as Dice because of what you learned from its definition on some dictionaries or other sources.
But others are also free to call it as Dice because they used to call it as Dice.
I'm not really sure which site was the first that introduce this game as Dice, but it is now very popular.
No good reasons to change the name of the game.

my opinion i think there is no problem we keep calling Dice, from what i read here:

it is not wrong to call it dice. After so many years we don't need to be arguing now why they call it Dice or not and we don't need to change the name either

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?

It was due to the fact that it's based on the dice format, in fact before the site's design are showing the dice logo so people have already get used to it.
Also, we can't deny that most of the popular gambling sites in the past, has dice on their names. One name that I can remember is Primedice, its still here until now and this is one of the oldest dice site I've known.
DICE has already become as part of the brand name of gambling sites in the crypto space, and I think no one can change it anymore.

I think you should call it "the best gambling game in bitcointalk" since people here seem to like it very much.

Now the general argument here is , Dice can have any number of faces not essentially six.
And I am like you who told you this, a you tuber? or where did you get that? through your common sense?
This is what cambridge dictionary says about the definition of dice: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/dice
Look at collin's definition also : https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/dice.
Traditionally in general dices have a peculiar shape which makes it dice, that is how we label things as their universal form not particular one (which may be different as per individual's preference).
I can argue that plane is a car because it has wheels and it moves or life is a dice because it is unpredictable, but this will make discussion futile.
Also every website that uses dice picture is using the dice with six sides, let them make it 10000 sides. LOL.

Dice or gambling its the same meaning just have different price, how ever when you try with dice and your money could not manage because you always want to try to dice although how many time you lost, but when you be the winner your motivation to get chance winning will higher although fact your lost bigger than winner.
I think they only used the term dice to represent the game's mechanics. If you will imagine, it is really the same as a dice. Your click on the mouse serve as the roll and the numbers are still present just only got bigger of course in order to decrease the probability of winning. Okay, let me ask you, if you can have a chance to rename the game then what would it be? Do you think "Random Number Game" will fit? (nyeh )
) 
When you flip a coin you have only 2 options, that give you 50% the chance to win the bet. But if you want to move that chance you will have to use something like a dice, there you can bet on only one facer with 16.65% chance to with but a bigger multiplier, i think Dice was inspired in that idea.
Quote
Dice (singular die or dice[1]) are small, throwable objects with marked sides that can rest in multiple positions.
That is what I got from Wikipedia.
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice
At that page, you will see so many dice form, and what @Lutpin add is the other form that can represent the dice too, and perhaps, there will be many other dice forms out there that we don't know. People will still call that is dice game at the dice gambling site because although the roll button is not like what we know, every time we click roll, it is spin to any number, and if we are lucky, we will win some money. But if you don't like to call it is dice, I think you can use the other name of that game
Besides that, people call it dice games because that is easy to remember that game.
How many sides be the dice have but the popular gambling online called dice is not actually a dice. In a dice every sides have equal probability of turning up.
The dice in gambling site are more like coin fliip when you're betting on x2 (neglecting the house edge).
Dice is what we played on our local fair where they tossed 6 dices and the people bet on faces, the faces that turned more than once multiplied the profit.

I stopped for a moment and think of it, too.
Maybe, since we are hitting the roll button then it is some of the imaginary dice. Or another version of dice in virtual world. it is not literally a cube and numbers are ranging from that of .0 to 100.00. Actually, it made me confused now.
However, if they will create dice as in dice cubes in some gambling sites, it may lead to confusions, too. I mean how we gonna choose the numbers, will we put our desired number? Or multplier, too?

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
I somewhat agree with you
When I was first introduced to online gambling what we call today dice was called hi-lo back in the day (as in high versus low). Regarding visual representation (or lack thereof), I've seen gambling sites where you can actually watch a die rolling (just in case, dice was originally the plural form of die). Anyway, the name has stuck, and it is unlikely things are going to change in the future. The truth is, this is not the first time the name of something has lost any reference to the original idea, and even become singular instead of plural in due course
These dice are loaded!
I don't get why you would have to take this thing literally. The concept of dice is to generate a random number from 1-6--basically RNG with 6 possible outcomes. This is what online casinos are doing, albeit having a larger range for the possibilities that can be adjusted by the user on their own will. The thing here is that it's the concept of the dice (RNG-based game that commences with the user input) that online casinos used for the said game and not literally the 6-sided dice that you're familiar with. The more "sides" added to an online dice, the lower the chances of predicting the outcome but the higher the profit if the prediction is correct.
Ok, don't call it dice. Call it polygons with random numbers on it

Lolol. Whooaaa check out those dicezzz duuuude.
Imagine a huge dice with 9999 sides on it and every time you'd throw it you'd have an instant result instead of having to wait for it to stop rolling. That's what an online "dice" game shows. Throwing a six-faced dice is generating a random number from 1 to 6, the computer "throws" a dice with X sides doing the same thing, but much faster than physics allow a real dice to be stopped and counted.
I guess someone could invent an online casino with that huge dice shown for you, but it would be too much hassle than simply randomly generating a number.

dice which has only six sides
Not really
And with this sites, you can roll dice not only with 6 sides... I just think if all online casino dice only have six sides and we choose one from 1-6. Then, it's really easy to win for gambler and many (probably all) will close online casino dice. So, what you want to call this game? Random number generator? It's too long and not simple... Dice is more appropriate since it same "works"

With the advent of online games, I think the people behind did look for a game that is simply and that everyone can understand. So probably they take advantage and uses "dice" as a model and with a twist, choose a number in between 10000 numbers. You can also look at this dice variations, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farkle

Does it matter? We've been calling it dice since time, why change it today. We'll still call it dice if any of us decides to change its name though. We'd just confuse the rest of us if we call it something else. What matters is if its a fair game and we win when we click the roll button.

Dice is not represent only on solid object but the way how it plays it make it determine as dice, I'm sure you notoce that they have similar ways on how the game roll so there's no question about how this thing come up. They are just played in different phase since the one you mentioned played physical and the other comparison played digitally.

dice game because it works like dice , you throw and the result were random . the icon was also dice but only the numbers were modified and made up to 1000x . i even saw other gambling games with wierd names without even related to the game . its thier site so they can name what they want Quote

to be honest . this question also pop in my head way back . almost all the dice site that i saw where the same but on one site , there is that dice game that has a wheel like animation . Normally you have to choose in between 10000 numbers not like dice which has only six sides.
Real world dice uses a random algo which chooses a number in range 1-6 (1 and 6 included)
Online casino dice uses the same algorithm but the range is slightly different, usually 0-100.
Both look like dice to me.
