These are physically altered so one side has more internal weight (like lead or resin), causing the opposite face to land more often.
2. Shaved Dice
These have their corners or faces slightly sanded or carved down, causing the die to favor a particular side. It's a more subtle method and visually harder to detect.
3. Magnetic Dice
A magnet is hidden in the table or a nearby object, and the die has a small metal piece or magnet inside. This allows you to control which face lands up.
4. Repeated Number Dice
Visually identical to a regular die, but they have repeated numbers. This is useful if the die is rolled in a way that not all faces are clearly visible.
5. Controlled Roll Technique
With a lot of practice, some magicians and gamblers develop a "controlled roll" technique, where the die is thrown in a way that favors a specific side, especially with weighted dice.
6. Gimmicked Dice with Internal Mechanisms
There are dice prepared with internal mechanisms (like movable weights) that activate depending on how they're rolled.
