Ways to use this list
- Board game night when the dice have vanished: roll on a phone in the middle of the table so every player sees the face.
- Probability lesson: roll the d6 sixty times, tally each face and compare the totals with the ten of each you would expect.
- Role-playing games: press d20 for attack rolls and checks, or d4 to d12 for damage, all from one screen.
- Brain breaks: roll a die and the class does that many star jumps, then roll again for the next move.
- Two-dice maths: roll the pair, then race to add, subtract or multiply the two numbers.
- Decide who goes first: everyone rolls the d20 once and the highest roll starts.
Press Spin the wheel, tap the game or press the Space bar. Change the list in the box as you
like: add your own, delete what doesn't suit you, or write *2 after an entry to give it double the
chance. The game buttons switch the same list to a duck race, hat, claw machine and more.

Questions people ask
How do I roll two dice at once?
Press Two dice (d6 + d6). The list then holds all 36 ways two dice can land, from "1 and 1" to "6 and 6", so each spin works exactly like throwing a real pair.
Why does 7 come up most often with two dice?
Six of the 36 combinations add up to 7 (1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and 4, and the same pairs the other way round), so its chance is 1 in 6. A total of 2 or 12 has only one way each: a 1 in 36 chance.
What dice are in a role-playing dice set?
A standard set has seven dice: d4, d6, d8, two d10s (one marked in tens for percentages), d12 and d20. Each one is a quick-list button here, and d100 covers the percentile roll in one go.
Is a virtual die as fair as a real one?
It is fairer than most. Every face has exactly the same chance, chosen by your browser's secure random generator before the animation starts, while real dice can have tiny weight differences or worn edges.
Why does my real d10 show a 0?
Most ten-sided dice are numbered 0 to 9, and the 0 is read as 10. This page uses 1 to 10, so there is nothing to translate.
What is the average roll on each die?
Add the lowest and highest faces and halve the total: a d6 averages 3.5, a d8 4.5, a d12 6.5 and a d20 10.5. Roll fifty times, find the mean of your results and watch it creep towards that number.
