Gold Coast casino uses white dice with black pips for their Roll to Win electronic craps game!
I've never seen white dice in a casino!
They sell 'em in the gift shop, so I bought a bunch—sure to one day be a valuable collectors' item that will fund my kids' education!

A few years ago, I saw a few pairs from different casinos in the "used casino dice" section at the Bonanza Gift Shop; I have a pair of Cannery white dice. They were gone a year later, and I haven't seen them since.
I'm surprised they exist; they are too easy to load for actual casino use.

I see from a simple Google search that Amazon sells white dice used at Harrah's casino.
I guess my kids will have to somehow earn scholarships.

These are currently available for $6/pair at Bonanza Gift Shop
The tubes they were in say that they were used, but I still don't see how anybody would have approved for these to be put into play - they are far too easy to load

Forgive my ignorance, but why would white dice be easier to load than red or green dice?
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

White dice aren't transparent. All other casino dice that I have ever seen are.

See through versus not see through.

Thank you. I have not played craps in a casino and never really paid attention to the Sic B0 die as I didn't handle them.

When i was at G2E I noticed that craps die and sic bo die were different for one manufacturer. One dice had sharp edges while the other had smooth edges. Anyone know why?

Aren't Sic Bo dice rolled by the dealer in a "birdcage", as opposed to craps dice which are handled by the player and thrown into the pyramids?
May the cards fall in your favor.

Yes that’s true. I guess that craps dice aren’t pointy because they could injure someone. But why would sic bo dice need to be pointy?

I've seen it the opposite way. Look at the white dice in the pic here, they're pointy. Rounded corner dice are usually used for backgammon or other board games where you are playing on a board or home tabletop rather than a huge craps table and want the roll to be a little tamer.
The sharp corners of craps dice make a form of dice control less effective and probably totally ineffective. I've experimented with it, thrown dice with so much spin they pop off the table when they touch the felt, but that's due to the corner catching the felt. If I did that with backgammon dice I might be able to do some AP.

Probably I’m misremembering and sic bo dice are the non-pointy ones

What color are the dice used to determine the order of deal in Pai Gow Tiles?
There is a reason dice used in a cage (e.g. Sic Bo, Chuck-A-Luck) would be rounded; dice with sharp corners tend not to roll as much. Anyone familiar with RPGs may have noticed a similar problem with rolling 4-sided dice with "pointy" corners instead of flattened ones; when the pointy-cornered ones land on the table, they tend to stay in place.
As for the white dice, it's possible that they were made specifically for the gift shop - I am pretty sure Wynn does the same thing with its dice. I just question the fact that they are sold in a tube with a label saying that the dice were "actually used" in the casino.

Actually used by the gift shop to drive revenue!
