Dice Probability & Statistics

Understanding the odds can change how you play games. With a single die, every number has an equal chance (16.67% for a D6). However, the magic happens when you roll two dice.

  • The Bell Curve: Rolling 2D6 creates a bell curve. The number 7 is the most likely result (6 combinations) while 2 and 12 are the least likely (1 combination each).
  • Critical Hits: On a D20, you have a 5% chance of rolling a "Natural 20" (Critical Hit) and a 5% chance of rolling a "Natural 1" (Critical Miss).

A Brief History of Dice

Dice are among the oldest gaming implements known to humanity, predating recorded history. The oldest known dice were excavated as part of a 5000-year-old backgammon set at the Burnt City in southeastern Iran. Ancient civilizations used knucklebones (talus bones from hoofed animals) before developing the cubic shapes we know today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Virtual dice use a Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) algorithm. While not 'truly' random in a quantum sense, they are statistically random enough for any gaming purpose and far less biased than physical dice which can have manufacturing imperfections.
