How to make dice

Usually used as props for table games, the most common dice is six-sided dice, which is a regular cube with one to six holes (or numbers) on it, and the sum of the opposite numbers must be seven. China's dice are used to being painted red at one and four o'clock. Dice is a random number generator, which is easy to make and obtain.

Dice is one of the indispensable tools for many recreational activities, such as playing mahjong and Pai Jiu. Dice here refers to gambling that depends solely on dice to decide whether to win or lose. Usually used to gamble on size. In sic bo, idle people bet on bookmakers. Before each bet, the dealer puts three dice in a covered vessel and shakes them. When the idlers have finished betting, the dealer opens the utensils and gives out prizes. Because the most common bet is to buy the size of the dice (a total of 3 to 10 is called small, 1 1 8 is called big, except those around the dice), it is often called a contest.

Historical source

According to legend, the inventor of dice was Cao Zhi, a writer in the Three Kingdoms period. Originally used as a tool for divination, it later evolved into a game of concubines in the harem, betting on wine or silk sachets with dice points. At that time, the dots on the dice were all drawn in black, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that red strokes were added. But in archaeology, the earliest dice appeared in Egypt. More than two thousand years ago, the dice in ancient Egypt were called Huangqi.
