In Response To: What to do about this what-a-to-do? (Mike Main)

The rules are clear. The dice should be rerolled. The fact that both players have been premature rolling doesn't alter the rules. The previous rolls raise a question of ethics, not the rules. My opinion is the same whether I am the director, one of the players or a spectator.

The way to handle players who use this trick is to spread the word about the player in question.

Anyone playing for an enormous prize fund should think twice about premature rolling. It is not a good idea.
