In Response To: Precision Dice ???? (Leonardo Jerkovic)

Precision dice Precision casino dice, used for the game of craps, may have a polished finish, making them transparent, or a sand finish, making them translucent. Casino dice have their pips drilled, and then filled flush with a paint of the same density as the acetate used for the dice, such that the dice remain in balance. In casino play, a stick of 5 dice are used, all stamped with a matching serial number to prevent a cheat from substituting a die.

Precision backgammon dice are also made with the pips filled in as with casino dice. While casino dice are noticeably larger than common dice, with sharp edges and corners, precision backgammon dice tend to be slightly smaller. Their corners and edges are rounded to allow better movement inside the dice cup and to stop chaotic rolls from damaging the playing surface.
