What is "?" value
Try to solve it mentally or use internet open sources for dice images or look at real dice..(your last option)

Opposite sides add up to 7. So you know that the 2 and 3 are out as they are opposite the 5 and 4. Now there’s another die you can see that shows the 2 and 3. See it? It also shows a 1. Rotate that die to instead show the 5 and 4 and follow whether the 1 goes to the top or bottom.

Make sense?
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

The dice shown in your linked image are different from any dice I have in my possession, and I believe they are different from any I have ever encountered in a casino. The clearest example of this can be seen in the die second from the left in the group of five. That one shows the 1 face to the lower left, the 3 face to the lower right, and the 2 face on top. All of the standard dice with which I am familiar would have the 1 face to the lower left, the 2 face to the lower right, and the 3 face on top. That is, for standard dice, if you look at the corner where the 1, 2, and 3 faces meet, the numbers increase in a counter-clockwise direction. The same is true if you look at the corner where the 4, 5, and 6 faces meet -- those, too, increase in a counter-clockwise direction. If you had asked this problem with standard dice, the ? face would be the 6, but that second-from-the-left die proves that these are not standard dice.

On the other hand, if you will allow that your illustration is for somewhat non-standard dice (with numbers increasing in the clockwise direction about those corners) but require that all five dice are the same configuration and that in each case the opposite faces of each die have numbers that add to 7 (as is standard), then the ? face must be the 1.

Looks like it is a common knowledge..
Opposite sides of a modern die traditionally add up to seven, requiring the 1, 2, and 3 faces to share a vertex.[16] The faces of a die may be placed clockwise or counterclockwise about this vertex. If the 1, 2, and 3 faces run counterclockwise, the die is called "right-handed". If those faces run clockwise, the die is called "left-handed". Western dice are normally right-handed, and Chinese dice are normally left-handed.

OK, I confess I have never been to Asia, so I have never been to a true Chinese casino. Closest I have likely come was a single visit to the Lucky Dragon casino in Las Vegas, when that was open, and I didn't play anything there that involved dice. I suppose it is possible that the Chinese really do have a different "standard" for their dice. I'll just repeat my comment that I don't believe I have ever encountered such a pip pattern on the dice at any casino I have visited, not in North America, South America, Europe, or Africa.

Agreed
It is unknown dice pattern for the Western casinos.
Just pay my attention and curiosity
Few Casino experts and players majority did not pass my test and answer- 6 just looking on the real western dice.
looking on dice #2 from the left side needs an imagination and attention to details.
Thanks for the right answer

Now those dice don't look like anything I have ever seen. I would have thought maybe they were cuff links or buttons or something. I have a large, brass paperweight that is designed much like a die but with some non-standard features in its pip arrangement.

And those dice in the machine are configured exactly as I described earlier as "standard" dice with which I am familiar, with the 1,2,3, faces counter-clockwise about that corner (what you called right-handed) and the same for the 4,5,6 faces. You acknowledged that was normal for "Western" dice, with "Chinese" dice being left-handed (clockwise 1,2,3 and 4,5,6). However, you now describe the right-handed dice shown in this video as "Asian Dice". So are Asian dice the Western style as opposed to being like Chinese dice? I really don't understand something.

My latest toy
The Rosary, when practiced regularly with immediate effects of tranquility, inner peace and relaxation, was said to prevent or reduce stress and anxiety. The discipline required to use the Rosary regularly was reported to support other aspects of life that also required discipline (e.g., managing diabetes mellitus or mild depressive moods). Half of the participants said that they were more easily able to accept personal chronic diseases or cancer.
A rosary is a tool, whether they are pearls, wood or plastic.
