The dice
Total: —
A dice roller rolls one or more virtual six-sided dice and shows you the result. Pick how many dice you want — the default is two — press Roll, and each die lands on a random value from 1 to 6, with the total added up automatically. Every face has an equal one-in-six chance.
Key takeaways
- 1–12 dice per roll, two by default.
- Each die is fair — every face has a ~16.7% chance.
- Faces and sum are shown after every roll.
- For games & classroom use — no physical dice needed.
How the dice roller works
When you press Roll, each die independently draws a random whole number from 1 to 6. The roller draws the matching face — the familiar dot pattern of pips — for every die and then adds the values together to give you a total. Because each die is rolled on its own, adding more dice simply adds more independent rolls to the pile.
Every value from 1 to 6 is equally likely on each die, so no number is favored. With more than one die, the sum isn't uniform, though: middle totals (like 7 on two dice) come up more often than the extremes (2 or 12) because there are more combinations that produce them. The individual dice are still perfectly fair.
When to use a dice roller
A virtual dice roller is handy whenever you need a random number but don't have dice on hand:
- Board games — keep playing even if a die rolled under the couch.
- Tabletop & RPGs — roll a handful at once and read the total.
- Classroom math — probability lessons and number practice.
- Party games — quick rolls on a shared screen.
- Choosing a number 1–6 for chores, turns, or picks.

Two-dice totals and how often they appear
| Total on two dice | Combinations | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| 2 or 12 | 1 each | ~2.8% |
| 7 | 6 | ~16.7% |
| 6 or 8 | 5 each | ~13.9% |
Each die is uniform, but the sum of two dice peaks in the middle because more combinations add up to 7 than to any other total.
Frequently asked questions
How does the dice roller work?
Choose how many dice you want and press Roll. Each die is given a random value from 1 to 6 using your browser's random number generator, the faces are shown with their pips, and the total of all the dice is added up for you.
How many dice can I roll at once?
You can roll anywhere from 1 to 12 dice in a single click. The default is two dice, which suits most board games, but you can dial it up for games that use a larger handful.
Are the dice fair?
Yes. Each die independently lands on a value from 1 to 6 with equal probability, so every face has the same one-in-six chance. The dice don't influence each other and past rolls don't affect future ones.
Does it show the total automatically?
Yes. After every roll the result shows each die face plus the combined sum of all the dice, so you don't have to add them up by hand.
What can I use the dice roller for?
It replaces physical dice for board games, tabletop and role-playing games, classroom math activities, party games, and any time you need a quick random number from one or more dice without hunting for the real thing.
Do I need to install anything or sign up?
No. The dice roller runs entirely in your browser. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
Each die is rolled using the browser's built-in random number generator (Math.random). Outcomes are unweighted and independent: every face has an equal chance, and previous rolls have no effect on future ones. See Are spinner wheels really random? for how this works.
