What Is a Dice Roller?
A dice roller is a digital tool that generates random numbers like physical dice. A standard die has six numbered faces. For example, rolling 3 and 5 gives a total of 8. As a result, virtual dice are useful for games, math lessons, and quick decisions.
How to Roll Dice Online
Using our tool takes only a few steps:
Choose dice: Select one or two six-sided dice.
Click Roll Dice: Start the 3D animation.
Check results: See each number and the combined total.
Roll again: Press the button for another result.
Review history: Check your last 20 rolls.
Alternatively, press Space when no other control is focused.
Roll One or Two Six-Sided Dice
Roll One Die
A single D6 generates a number from 1 to 6. On a fair die, every face has an equal chance. For instance, teachers can number six questions and let students choose one through a roll.
Similarly, families can select activities or decide who plays first.
Roll Two Dice
Two D6 dice produce totals from 2 to 12. For example, rolling 4 and 5 gives 9.
In Monopoly, players generally use the total to move. However, Backgammon uses separate dice values. Therefore, our tool shows both numbers and their sum.
What Happens When You Roll Doubles?
Doubles occur when both dice match, such as 3 and 3.
Six of the 36 possible outcomes are doubles. Thus, their probability is 16.67%. Nevertheless, each board game has its own rules for doubles.
Types of Dice and Common Notation
Dice have different shapes and numbers of faces. The letter D stands for die, while the number describes its sides.
| Dice | Sides | Common use |
|---|---|---|
| D4 | 4 | Role-playing games |
| D6 | 6 | Board games |
| D8 | 8 | Tabletop games |
| D10 | 10 | Percentage rolls |
| D12 | 12 | RPG damage |
| D20 | 20 | Dungeons & Dragons |
| D100 | Results from 1–100 | Percentile rolls |
A D100 result is often generated using two ten-sided dice.
Additionally, dice notation explains how many dice to roll:
1d6: Roll one six-sided die.
2d6: Roll two six-sided dice and add them.
2d6+3: Add three to the combined result.
For instance, rolling 2 and 5 with 2d6+3 gives 10.
Currently, our tool supports one or two D6 dice. Therefore, other dice types need another tool, while modifiers must be added manually.
Are Online Dice Random and Fair?
We use browser-based cryptographic randomness with rejection sampling to generate dice results. This method is designed to give every face an equal chance.
According to MDN Web Docs' explanation of cryptographic random values (opens in a new tab), browsers can generate cryptographically strong random numbers. However, fairness also depends on how those values are converted into dice results.
Furthermore, our tool selects each result before the animation begins. Still, repeated numbers are normal. Even after two sixes, another 6 has a one-in-six chance of appearing.
Unlike physical dice, our virtual dice rely on software rather than physical movement.
Dice Rolling Probability Explained
Two fair six-sided dice have 36 equally likely outcomes. However, their totals have different probabilities.
Seven is the most common total because six combinations produce it. In contrast, only one combination produces 2. Therefore, rolling 7 is six times as likely as rolling 2.
Yet a small number of rolls may produce different patterns.
| Total | Probability |
|---|---|
| 2 | 2.78% |
| 3 | 5.56% |
| 4 | 8.33% |
| 5 | 11.11% |
| 6 | 13.89% |
| 7 | 16.67% |
| 8 | 13.89% |
| 9 | 11.11% |
| 10 | 8.33% |
| 11 | 5.56% |
| 12 | 2.78% |
Using Dice for Games and Classroom Activities
Our dice roller works well for board games, family activities, and classroom lessons.
For example, Monopoly uses two six-sided dice. Meanwhile, teachers can use our tool to explain addition and probability.
For a classroom exercise, students can roll two dice ten times. Next, they record each total. Afterward, they compare their results with the probability table.
Although 7 has the highest theoretical probability, it may not appear most often in ten rolls. Consequently, students learn how real results can differ from expected odds.
