Precision Dice and Gentle Rolls

In Response To: Precision Dice and Gentle Rolls (Marv Porten)

First, unless the dice are truly loaded or unbalanced, I believe the baffle box would solve this problem.

Second, Jeb and Chuck and I have proposed more definitive regulations relative to rolling the dice, along with specific recommendations in the event a player does not comply. I doubt that even if there is a tendency to change the rolls by the way they are shaken or rolled (which I don't believe is the case), if the following procedure is followed, I doubt a player can take advantage in the manner you describe:

"Dice handling must be consistent with the generation of random rolls. When cups are in use, both the shake and the toss are important, required randomizing components. Dice should be shaken vigorously at least three times, up and down, before rolling. The dice should be released well above the surface of the board (at least 4 inches) to allow the dice to clearly fall and then bounce or roll before settling. The dice cup should not hit the surface of the table during the toss, and fingers should not be in contact with the dice or near the opening of the cup after the dice leave the cup."
