'''Dice''' (singular "die") are usually cubical, and made of ivory or plastic (although other polyhedrons are in use). They used for gambling, roleplaying games, and other games of chance. Each face of the cube has a number of dots (called "pips) or a number on it. For a cubical die, the numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. Dice are used to generate random numbers by dropping or throwing the dice on a surface and seeing which sides come up. Other examples include tetrahedral die (with 4 sides labeled 1 to 4) or a dodecahedral die (with sides labeled 1 to 20). Modern dice are made with precise machinery to make sure that the dice are not accidentally loaded.
