In Response To: definitive solution for dice cheating (Jason Lee)

High stakes bg (money or prestige of the title) is like top level sport competition: there's no room for beauty. F1 cars do not have surround sound systems nor air conditioning (no doubt they are nice to have).

I would be very happy to play with baffle boxes with dice provided by the TD and picked randomly from their collection.

More, I would be happy to play with sealed RNG devices.

To push the paranoia to the maximum, randomness of the rolls sequence could be guaranteed via cryptographic algoritghms that would allow to verify once the match is over. A bit obscure to non-tech guys though.

There may be simpler solutions: always use dice provided by TD, have a third person (TD?) roll for both players using a single set of dice, etc.

I don't think we should let the door open to cheaters just because it's nice to have leather cups or to hear the sound of the dice shaking.

Playing on computer ? It's probably the ultimate killer of cheaters, but that make unnecessary to physically go to a tournament, meet people, rant about luck etc etc.

      • You told me to be part of the solution, rather than part of the problem.
