Use a small amount of super glue to seal up the end of the hole that you just loaded. You'll need a small amount of super glue to plug the hole and make sure the weight doesn't come back out.
After adding glue, let it dry thoroughly and go back over it again with fine-grain sandpaper to smooth out any little bumps. Use your finger to feel the other dots on the die and make the gimmicked spot match it. Paint over the weight. Use a little bit of dark ink, Sharpie, or gun-black to color in the fake spot that you've weighted.
Make sure it matches the other spots as closely as possible. Coloring over the weight will help make or break the trick. Don't get caught in your gimmick by messing up the color and getting it on the white part of the die.
Be especially careful to keep your coloring in the lines of the dot, making it evenly marked and uniform. The dots on standard dice are usually shiny and pure black.
India ink is likely the smartest choice for the job. Use a new, fine-tipped brush and maintain a very sharp point. If you want, you could even outline the dots with very thin strips of masking tape, to keep ink from getting on the white part of the die. Method 2. Place aluminum foil on a cookie tray. If you don't want to drill, a quicker method is melting. To make sure you don't get smelly, stuck-on plastic all over your oven, line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil to keep everything safe.
Do this in a well-ventilated area with the windows open, and keep close watch on the die while you do this. It's easy to go too far, so you need to watch closely. You have to be extremely careful to avoid melting the die too much and changing the appearance of the die.
It won't take much just to soften the plastic, widen the base of the opposite side, and land more regularly on that side.
Keeping the temperature at a low setting will help ensure that you don't overdo it. Do not use the microwave. It will not melt the die the way you want, and you're more likely to warp the plastic and make it look funny. It's also dangerous. Avoid microwaving dice. Place the die in the oven with the number you want up. Keep a close watch on the die and remove it before 10 minutes have passed. Remove the die using gloves, and dump it immediately into icy water to set the plastic and make sure it won't continue melting.
If you notice any bubbling or see that the shape has changed slightly, remove the die immediately and try it again, going for slightly less time. You should ideally remove the die before you notice any change, so it might take some practice runs.
Test the dice a few times. Go for a few rolls and test your new gimmicked die. If you're more consistently landing on the side you want to land on, you've got a good loaded die. If it's not working like you want, you can try to re-melt it, or you can just start over with a new die. Method 3. Drill out several dots. If you want to get really elaborate by making a die that is adjustable, you have to open up the inside of the die without visibly altering the outside.
This will take some practice and some patience to get it right, but it's possible if you start by drilling out several of the holes on different sides of the die, using a thin drill bit.
If you're struggling to scrape out the interior, however, you will need to make several holes. In that case, it may be better to drill out all the holes, so at least they'll be uniform.
Hollow out the die carefully. Carefully and gently scrape out the interior of the die a little bit at a time. If you can work the pick into each hole, scrape out as much as possible from each different angle. Eventually you should be able to hollow out the entire interior. From each angle go as deep as you can and try to scrape out as much as you can. You won't be able to hollow out the entire die from one side, but you can get it all by approaching it from several directions.
Plug all the holes but one. Smear some super glue over each hole and let it dry. This will help contain the weight you insert. You can smooth it up later using fine-grained sandpaper and some care. Now, you're just trying to get the weight correct. Drop a few lead weights into the center of the die. Fit a few small bearings into the middle of the die. You want to get the final weight of the die to match the basic weight of a normal die, so keep a normal die on hand to compare while you're working.
The average handler won't notice subtle differences, but you don't want your weighted die to feel hollow and fake. Feel the heft of it and add more if necessary. They'll be rattling around on the inside, but don't worry about the sound. You'll take care of that with the next step. Mix paraffin and coconut oil. You're going to fill the die with a mixture of waxes that will be hard enough to secure the bearings and hold them still at a cool temperature but soft enough that you'll be able to melt it with body heat—the heat from your clenched hand.
The ideal mixture is paraffin and coconut oil, both commonly available and relatively cheap. This is most likely to remain unnoticed for long and complicated calculations with many hard-to-remember inputs especially where those inputs only appear on that player's character sheet , but there is always a risk that someone will be able to double-check.
When rolling, do not roll all the dice simultaneously, but pour them out gradually. Aim the falling dice at any low rolls already on the table. If this is done obviously, other players may notice and demand that original result stand or that all dice are rerolled at once. One method of altering a roll is very simple. As the dice stop rolling, quickly knock or flip over any dice that comes up with a 1. You can wait till others look away, or simply move your hand over rolled dice while your other hand continues to manipulate the remaining dice.
The movement is so quick it is virtually impossible to notice out of the corner of one's eye. It requires no precision, since anything is better than a 1. Like flipping, but keep in mind that is is slower and easier to observe. Remember that most dice are designed such as that the two sides sum up to twice the average roll. For instance, the 3 and 4 are opposite on the d6.
Thus, a 1 is opposite the high number. For example, some of the spots on one face could be drilled out and the holes filled with a heavy substance so the die is more likely to land with this face down. If you were to drill out the number one, this means that the number six is more likely to appear, as the six is always on the opposite face to the one. Another way of loading a die would be to slightly change its shape, so that it is more likely to keep rolling. With tops and bottoms it is easy to know the probabilities of various totals appearing.
This is not the case with loaded dice. One way of gauging the probabilities is to toss the dice a number of times possibly thousands and work out what numbers appear and how often. This can involve effectively sliding or dropping the die so the desired number appears. If two dice are used, one can be used to trap the other and stop it bouncing.
If this is done by a skilled operator, it is very difficult to see. This was done by understanding how dice travel thorough the air and controlling each part of the throw.
It took many many, many hours of practice to perfect, but he was able to consistently win at the craps table.
Many would consider what LoRiggio did to be advantage play, meaning using the rules to your advantage. This is similar to card counting in blackjack. The casinos may not like it, but you are technically not cheating — though some casino may try to make you shoot the dice in a different way if they suspect you are doing controlled throws.
