Dice tower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dice tower is an object used by gamers to roll dice. There are many forms of towers and they vary in construction and design.
[edit] Construction
The main elements of a dice tower include:
- the tower itself, hollow, vertical, and with projections along the side to suffieciently tumble the dice in order to achieve a random result
- an inclined ramp at the bottom of the tower, which spill the dice from the inside of the tower
- a small tray, into which the dice come to rest, usually bordered by a small border to prevent the dice from exiting and disrupting the game or going astray
[edit] Usage
The dice are dropped in the top of the tower and gravity effectively does the rest.
