Stop calling it DICE.

[CryCrptoCry]

Now the general argument here is , Dice can have any number of faces not essentially six.
And I am like you who told you this, a you tuber? or where did you get that? through your common sense?
This is what cambridge dictionary says about the definition of dice: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/dice
Look at collin's definition also : https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/dice.

Traditionally in general dices have a peculiar shape which makes it dice, that is how we label things as their universal form not particular one (which may be different as per individual's preference).
I can argue that plane is a car because it has wheels and it moves or life is a dice because it is unpredictable, but this will make discussion futile.
Also every website that uses dice picture is using the dice with six sides, let them make it 10000 sides. LOL.

I think you should call it "the best gambling game in bitcointalk" since people here seem to like it very much.

oh really  ? i didnt notice it  .  i was also busy lately so i havent read many post from this section   .

 you said only on bitcointalk but what about on other site or simply other people  , do they still like dice game ?  well for me i notice outside that people love to play other games because they are enjoyable and winnable compare to dice   but hey we arent here to compare dice   .

[Botnake]

It was due to the fact that it's based on the dice format, in fact before the site's design are showing the dice logo so people have already get used to it.
Also, we can't deny that most of the popular gambling sites in the past, has dice on their names. One name that I can remember is Primedice, its still here until now and this is one of the oldest dice site I've known.

DICE has already become as part of the brand name of gambling sites in the crypto space, and I think no one can change it anymore.

[buwaytress]

You do realise that almost every online game online is based on the concept of "RNG picks a number" and spits it out as your result right?

This is the same for blackjack, roulette, slots. How that RNG works out is different, but everything else is visualisation.

Shall we stop calling these blackjack/roulette, slots etc.?

Getting a digital visualisation of a 100,000-sided die shouldn't be a problem at all, if you ever become boss and insist on such things.

Now, if I put six 10-sided dice next to each other as a visualisation for you on a 0-100,000 "dice game", will you be satisfied?

[Slow death]

my opinion i think there is no problem we keep calling Dice, from what i read here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice

it is not wrong to call it dice. After so many years we don't need to be arguing now why they call it Dice or not and we don't need to change the name either

I think you should call it "the best gambling game in bitcointalk" since people here seem to like it very much.

honestly to this day I never understood why most sites have Dice games and why so many people like Dice games? what is have special about Dice games?

[panjul07]

It will be a never ending argument, you have your own right to not call the game as Dice because of what you learned from its definition on some dictionaries or other sources.
But others are also free to call it as Dice because they used to call it as Dice.
I'm not really sure which site was the first that introduce this game as Dice, but it is now very popular.
No good reasons to change the name of the game.

Yeah and the way how it plays right we can really tell that they have similar actions but as I said earlier the only difference between them is the other played physically and the other is played online, It's no used to have a debate on this since the answer is very clear  hopefully the OP will understand the simple explanation regarding on his questions and doubts about the dice.

If OP is not accepting the words given by the users here for sure this discussion will never ends.

[Finestream]

Because dice is popular, most early gamblers in crypto are playing dice and a certain site is offering a single game only which is dice.
Now, slowly dice sites has become a casino, they are offering a lot of games for gamblers to choose from, but despite that, dice popularity is still here.

Some sportsbook are even adding dice in their platform, and  this is rare, an exchange site has a dice game in their site, I'm talking about yobit, but not sure if their still a dice game in their site now.

what is have special about Dice games?

maybe it's easy to play, and it gain popularity as it was introduce in the early days of crypto.

[slaman29]

There are many types of dice. The definition from "what is math" is this: A die (plural "dice") is a solid object with markings on each face used for random numbers when playing games.

I have seen myself 4-sided dice, 10-sided and even 20-sided and I am told there are many more types of dice. D120 seems to be in existence and according to some theoretical explanations there can be 100,000-sided dice built, here are some ideas.

[Ucy]

What happens when you "throw" dice in both worlds(physical & virtual worlds)? Random numbers are "generated" in the air and computer, right? So that is probably a fair representation of both randomness.
I guess the most important thing is that it has sides, can be "thrown" to generate random numbers,etc
 By the way, if it is easy or possible to add 1000 sides to physical dice will that make it less of a dice?
Virtual or cyber world kind of breaks the limit of physical representation of things (or virtual "dice" in this case... which reduces the limits of having only few sides).  This is just my opinion, assuming I understand the post correctly.

In regards to the aspect on dice picture, guess it could show a dice with 1000 sides in summary... let say the dice Pic has 1—6 sides, on the 6th side you write "6 to 1000".

It is also the easiest to develop

As you might remember (and if you cannot, let me remind you then), one of the first, if not the first ever, crypto casinos was called PrimeDice (it is still called so), and for a good reason. Quite a few other online casinos started out with just dice, and it is no surprise. Once you have a proper RNG, either hardware or software, designing a gambling engine is a breeze. As I suspect, developing auxiliary stuff like deposits and withdrawals (aka infrastructure) will require much more in terms of both time and effort

[BitcoinTurk]

In fact, to be honest, I have always wondered why such nomenclature was made in me. Usually, it is meaningless for me to make such a naming for such games. After all, there is no dice that we are rolling around, and it is a type of game where predictions such as "High", "Low" are made. Personally, my idea here is that this type of games is named just like there are some terms in the crypto money world. For example, although there is no word "Hodl" in English, crypto investors constantly use this term. In other words, I think that this kind of games is called "Dice" as well. Of course, this is only my personal opinion, I cannot claim or prove such a thing.

I am amazed why it is called DICE gambling when it has nothing to with dice. RNG picks a number and thats all where is the dice in that. Normally  you have to choose in between 10000 numbers not like dice which has only six sides. Apart from that there is no visual animation corresponding to dice throw still there is picture of dice and it says ROLL, and I say LOL.

Okay lets make up some research when it comes to dice;

a small cube with each side having a different number of spots on it, ranging from one to six, thrown and used in gambling and other games involving chance.

You got actually the point but in general sense it being embraced on how dice game being called yet it do roll out numbers and waiting up for the result.
yeah it do range from 1-6 on a typical or physical dice but online dice site do alter it out into a bigger picture and still adopting out that word.

It is better to hear it a "dice" game rather than "lotto" maybe this is one of the reason why many people are hooked up with this game because of the subliminal tickle on your mind that you got a higher chance on winning in a dice than a lotto though you got a lot of options or numbers to bet into. Typically the dice is just a six-sided cube with numbers from 1-6 but there are also some dice that has more than 6 which I never saw in my life yet, even in carnivals.

But the game isn't about a dice, or picking a number from 1-6 it is about prediction whether it will be high or low with neut at 49.9. So most probably this is called a dice because like a dice, when you roll it, there will only single number at the top which is a winning number. They are similar in having a single winning number/side.

I also dont like their set our chance to win, for ex we set chance to win is 50% to win, is that really 50 we have chance to win?
i dont think so because sometime i can lose until 10 strike lose ,that already compare to my balance from raising after lose.
so i think game like that is also not fair.

[rhomelmabini]

The first gambling platform that called it a "dice" should be the one being questioned here in the first place. Tag him.

Six sides or not if they call it a dice we should respect them.

So what can we call it now since you don't wanna call it Dice game?sorry but i think you lose a lot in Dice this past days that's why you felt like even the game name you want to be change.

This has been called Dice even before you learn Online Gambling and why just now that you are pointing this out?there should be a appropriate reason for this issue

anyway whatever you wanna name this yet i will enjoy playing since it is what i love to play for long time now.

That's exactly what should we do,and if OP don't feel that way then He can choose another game that he has no issue at all.

Now my brain doesn't know which one to believe...
I does tell me that Dice is only on a form of a CUBE which has 6 sides just like the OP says, and the image above is just a mere replicas but doesn't suit to be called a DICE.
Though mindrust has a point in which DICE IRL are seems to be different compared to online casinos but still uses the same way of algos.

I really don't accept that as a kind of DICE. MindBlowing.
