You’re totally going to win a bar bet with this one someday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n6. Casino Logos<\/h2>\n Yes, imprinting a casino’s logo on dice is actually a security measure. On its own, putting a logo on dice is fairly easy to do, but this “unique identifier” is another element a cheater has to take into account, and another way they can get tripped up trying to use counterfeit dice.<\/p>\nLogos are typically printed on the side of the dice with one or two spots, because there’s more room. This isn’t rocket science.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n7. Diamond Rubber Bumpers<\/h2>\n This security measure is more about the table than the dice, but we’re including it, anyway. They have lots of names, but along the sides of a craps table are textured bumps, sometimes called “diamond rubber bumpers” or “pyramid bumpers” or even “alligator bumpers.” These textured bumpers make it much more difficult to manipulate how the dice will land.<\/p>\nIt’s all fun and games until somebody puts an eye out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n8. Change-Outs<\/h2>\n Casinos foil cheaters through a variety of means, including frequently changing out dice, just as they do with cards at the blackjack table. As mentioned, the randomness of rolls can be impacted by things like edges and corners becoming less sharp through use. Fresh dice are brought into a craps game every four to eight hours, often during a shift change. Casinos have the right to change out dice at any time, however. This sometimes happens during hot rolls, as casinos want to ensure a player’s good luck isn’t the result of dice tampering.<\/p>\nCasinos are paranoid about dice cheats, so always keep dice over the table and only use one hand to shake them before you shoot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n9. Perfect Cubes<\/h2>\n There’s a reason casino dice are also called “precision dice.” That’s because casino dice are made to exacting specifications. Most casinos use 3\/4-inch dice, and each of the die’s dimensions must be true to within 0.0005 of an inch, or approximately the length of this blog’s sexual organ. Just making sure you’re still paying attention.<\/p>\nPerfect cubes, of course, aren’t “perfect.” For example, some mistakenly believe Chicago-style pizza is actual pizza.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n10. Pip Drilling and Backfilling<\/h2>\n Even tiny variations in a die can cause it to roll in a less random way. Pips aren’t just painted in casino dice, they’re drilled. To make sure the side of the die with six pips doesn’t weigh more than the side with just one, the drilled holes are filled with a special paint that’s the same density as the rest of the die. Oh, all right, maybe there’s a little rocket science involved.<\/p>\nDrilled Pips and The Backfillers were a terrific folk group in the 1970s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n11. Cancellation<\/h2>\n When dice are removed from a table, casinos use a hand-operated press (or “punch”) to “cancel” the dice before they’re destroyed or sold in the casino’s gift shop. Cancellation markings, commonly in the shape of circle, make it easy for casino security, dealers and managers to see if a “retired” die has been put into play by an unscrupulous player.<\/p>\nWhile Las Vegas casinos get away with this cancellation mark, Atlantic City casinos must drill a hole in canceled dice. Typically, it’s done by a guy nicknamed “Knuckles.” All due respect.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nCraps is one of the most exciting games in a Las Vegas casino. Now, the next time you play, you’ll know all the dice security measures casinos take to keep players from cheating.<\/p>\n
By the way, cheating in a Las Vegas casino is a felony. You have better things to do during your Las Vegas visit than going to the big house and being passed around like a social security number at a hacker convention.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
