How does the dice roller 1-6 work?
The wheel shows the numbers 1 to 6, each one twice, on 12 equal slices. Press spin and the wheel stops on one number. Because every number has the same number of slices, each one has a 1-in-6 chance (about 16.7%), the same as a fair six-sided die.
Every spin is independent. Rolling a 6 does not make a 6 more or less likely next time.
How to roll the die
- Press spin. The wheel turns and slows to a stop.
- Read the number under the pointer. That is your roll.
- Spin again for the next player or the next roll. Previous results appear in the winners list.
When to use a virtual die
- Board games. Lost the die from Ludo, Monopoly or Snakes and Ladders? Spin instead.
- Classroom maths. Roll 30 times, tally the results and talk about probability and why small samples are uneven.
- Quick decisions. Number six options, spin, and do whatever comes up.
- Online game nights. Share your screen so every player sees the same roll.
Need two dice or a different die?
Spin twice and add the results for a two-dice total from 2 to 12. For other dice, such as a d20, edit the numbers on the wheel. Keep every number on the wheel the same number of times so the odds stay equal.
