(listed as a disadvantage) Suspicions of nonrandomness. Physical dice are more transparent than electronic dice -- you can see the little cubes bouncing and rolling around. With electronic dice, it's just a black box. Some people simply won't believe the results are random.
Is this real or simply a fallacious perception? If you see the dice you can tell they are random? Maybe if you're some kind of savant.
Bob Koca has many times proposed a solution to the potential non-randomness of electronic dice. The problem is that those who 'need' this kind of confirmation are most likely the ones who wouldn't trust that, either. Rational solutions don't satisfy irrational people.
