You could also get plastic dice and bake them slightly. Just enough to loosen the plastic so it flows down internally, but not enough to deform the dice. Won't get you as extreme of results, but then that also means you're less likely to get caught cheating.

Have you heard of the loaded dice that have three channels inside, each containing a drop of mercury? The channels are drilled in such a way that they're all at right angles to each other and parallel with lines connecting opposing corners of each die. You use them by holding the dice with the desired result uppermost and giving them a sharp tap, as one might do when making some incantation to good fortune before throwing them.

How about drilling through one of the pips?

I've tried that before. The challenge with that is you can't get enough weight added through them to offset the center of gravity. Also when adding the lead, the surface tension doesn't go into the holes very well.

Love your channel

Drill the number dots and put bird shot in the holes. I had a pair that had all 5s on one die and all 2s and 6s on the other, I think. Does that work? So you would switch dice and come out w/ 7s or 11s. For some reason, we don't look at the side numbers, which would make the dice obvious. Pretty cool, but not what I had expected.

New video title, "how to earn cement boots."

I wonder if you could drill the "1" pip and then make the hole wider on the inside so that you could put more lead/solder than what a pip-sized hole would allow for.

Why not drill out the holes? I you drill out the 1 and the lowest pip on each face, with the 6 uppermost, then fill with solder or lead shot and glue. You can then seal the holes over with some filler to create the same dimple as the other pips. Now you have a weighted die without split marks.

@Maxx B, instead they make subtle differences to the Dice itself. For example, it being one Millimetre thicker on the lower end of the dice compared to the higher end. Very hard to notice yet can yield more result toward the lower portion. Yet not Obvious. Or they use a paint that might be slightly Heavier compared to the other paint, yet same colour under the Light of the play tables. One can make many subtle differences to cheat Gamblers without them noticing.

I suppose even if you had the perfect loaded die that was manufactured to be uneven (meaning no marks), you could still check to see if it was loaded by putting it on the edge of the table. Its center of mass is not in the middle of the cube, so even if the heavy side hanging less than halfway off the table, it should still fall off.

in the olden days they used to weigh loaded dice with coconut oil so you could squeeze it in your hand and melt the oil. blowing on the dice would cool it off and set the oil making it more likely to land with that side up.

Does solder stick to wood? I thought it would just end up rattling around the cavity.

Why not start with a blank cube? Cut it open, hollow it and weight it as you please, and glue it back together. Sand all the faces perfectly smooth, drill the pip marks, then *paint* the die (say, black) and fill in the pips with a contrasting color (say, white). Then the only way anyone would ever know it was loaded was by the uneven weight of it in their hand.

Matthias making a loaded dice! No I can't believe it, he seems like such a nice chap

Dice game finna be lit🔥🔥

what game requires rolling 6's?

A good way to fix dice is to put the side you want it to land on facing up and put it in an oven for a couple minutes and the insides will melt to the bottom so when you throw it after wards it lands on the lightest side up which is the number you chose.(only works with plastic and other meltable materials)

What about using the knife on a corner to split it diagonally?

Make sure when you split die you cut parallel to the length of the wood grain instead of perpendicular. Should be less compression of the fibers-wood will have greater tendency to simply split instead of compressing. Now i am wondering if I can take stacked MDF/hardboard to make a die. Once sanded the lines should be nearly invisible and you make loaded die from inside out instead of splitting one that already had been made..

Congrats on trending, Matthias.

Could drill out the pips with a small drill and fill them back in with lighter or heavier material. Wouldn't be as loaded but would be really subtle and hard to tell it was actually loaded.

What knife is that?

true, but you could do it with a unfinished piece, or just sand the varnish off prior, and then just dip it in shellac afterwards a few times and buff it, right? the only other way i can see you ripping into the dice without leaving a mark would be to drill holes into the dots, then put a cylinder in it and pull the wood apart using the cylinder. obviously the holes would need to be rebuilt afterwards, but you could use a black epoxy to fill them, and as long as you do that to each hole in a way that makes it look like it was made that way, then it would still work. Or, if you are going to use epoxy anyway, you could make a mold, and install the weights into the mold, and then just pour it i am plum out of ideas, as those are the only things i can think of in 5 minutes. you are very smart, so i am curious to see your final solution to this problem.

Servus Matthias,any chance of a how to sharpen a snowboard ,jig? thanks for all the videos😁

Why not hollow out the side with the low numbers and leave the other side solid? Would the weight difference between the two sides not be significant enough?

The thing is if you want to play with this dice you need to convince your opponent to let you use YOUR dice and they use theirs and if someone asks me to do that it'd be conspicuous too and if you dont know why you must do this it's because if you share your dice your enemy gets that lucky dice too so yeah kinda hard to use that without aomeone getting suspicius at you

And that is why casino dices are made of transparent plastic. I watched somewhere tat plastic dice can be loaded by putting it on hot surface. Plastic near hot surface become more dense (or less I forget). Naturally dice looks normal.

so you made yourself a dice that rolls a lot of 1s?

Usually you make loaded dies by drilling out one of the pips and adding the weight there opposite the face you want to come up. No need to split.

Time to take this to the casino, who's coming with me?

So clever. So dapper. You'd better believe this dice is loaded! Hi-de-ho!

Why not cracking it with a point on the center hole of the 5? later you refill the broken hole and no one will be able to see it

I was thinking you could drill into the dots on the die and fill in the holes with denser material

If anyone would try doing this, it's Matthias. Never shy of upping the game a bit in his favour, haha

It’s 2:00 A.M.! Why tf am I watching a guy hollowing out dice!?

If you try the chisel method on an over-sized length of stock, you can probably cut off the chisel mark and make a die with the remaining stock.

you could split a wooden block that is bigger than standard-size then putting the weight in then gluing it together, with marks where the heavy side is then cutting it to standard size and then making the tiny little number-holes in it and painting it there you wouldn't see any splitmarks at all...

What about splitting it with a nail through one of the dots?

Couldn't you split the dice on only the edges?

I made loaded dice once, but in a simpler way. I drilled a hole through the single dot of the '1' and put some led behind it. then I closed it up and put some new paint on the dot. invisible!

I always wondered how that worked in Road to El Dorado

The piece could be longer in the cutting direction (a cuboid) and split apart, weighted inside, glued back together and then the faces finished cleanly and made into a cube. This would align the wood grains properly and hide the split line.

You could make a hole the same diameter of one of the dots, fill with solder and paint again.

You can do the same with plastic dice by baking them in he oven just enough for the plastic near the bottom to be come more dense before i️t loses its shape

Damn he took the term "loaded dice" way too literal

That's a quick way to get killed were I'm from 😂

You can use wood dust with glue to close any gap.

It's a lot easier if you just figure out which side you want to be down, drill the dots deeper, then put a couple of lead bird shot in the bottom of the holes. A drop of super glue holds them down, and you just put a bit of wood filler on top and re-drill the dots. Of course you don't want to load them too heavy. You want to tilt the odds in your favor, not win so much that people can tell they are loaded.
