When you roll a dice what is the probability it will land on 1?

You cannot roll "a dice" because it is one die, many dice. If you roll an ordinary, 6 faced die, the probability that it will land on 1 is 1/6.

What are the Odds of rolling doubles?

Answer 1:The odds are very easy to calculate. Simply divide the number of "valid" rolls against all possible rolls. For ease, you can write down all possible combination for the 2 dice.1-1; 1-2; 1-3; 1-4....and so on, remember 1-4 and 4-1 are different rollsThere are 36 unique possible combination, and 6 of them are doubles, so that's 6/36 chances (and since 6 goes into 36, 6 times, this reduces to 1/6) or about 17%Answer 2:Another way to look at this problem, generically, is to assume we have an 'n' face dice. In most cases, dice have 6 faces (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). But why not create a solution that works for any number of sides? Well, if we are trying to calculate the probability of rolling two dice (dice-1 and dice-2) of 'n' sides at the same time and having them turn up as doubles, only one of the dice really matters. Here's why. Dice-1 is guaranteed to land on a number 1-n. This will happen every time (on a fair dice, disregarding freak incidents). What we are trying to calculate is the probability that dice-2 will land on the SAME number as dice-1. Dice-2 can only land on one of 'n' values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... , 'n'. For you non math folks, this just means it must land on a number from 1 to 'n' where 'n' is the number of sides on your dice. Out of all of the sides that dice-2 can PHYSICALLY land on, one of the sides MUST necessarily have the same as the value that dice-1 landed on. That is to say, if dice-1 landed on the value 3, there must be some chance that dice-2 will also land on the value 3. The probability of this occurring on a fair die is 1 divided by the total number of possible outcomes, which would be 'n'. So, really, there is a 1/n chance that dice-2 will land on the same number as dice-1. Thus, our probability for rolling doubles is simple 1/n. For our 6 sided dice example, our dice-1 lands on some value between 1 and 6 and there is a 1/6 chance dice-2 will match it.

When playing board games are you suppose to keep the dice on the actual board when rolling the dice?

It's nice to keep the dice visible, but may not be possible because of other items on the board. If you are concerned then you may want to use something else like a plate, the top of the game box to keep the dice constrained without messing up the game board or you could use a cup and mix the dice.


What is the difference between casino dice and regular dice?

Casino dice are also called "perfect" or "precision" dice, because they are made to be as close as possible to a perfect cube. The idea behind this is that each die has an equal chance to land on any of the six faces. Regular dice, ones that you would play a board game with, are mass produced using molds.
