Searching for casino and/or dice throws up an awful of threads so I had to start a new topic.

I would like to buy new casino dice in a variety of colours. I know that Vegas casinos tend to use red, and other colours are used in casinos at other places such as Lake Tahoe.

A variety of colours is clearly convenient in complicated dicing situations.

I am having difficulty finding a supplier of new dice in the UK (they all seemt o have used dice) or a US based supplier who carries different colours.

Can anyone direct me to a good site?

Thanks in advance.

heh, these are actually dice i use so you dont get the odd nub here and there saying they are fixed

and what luck, you live in the UK
go along to any grosvenors casino, ask behind the counter and you can buy from there.

used casino dice are not random as they get drilled out:

"Vegas sells them very cheap as casino dice need to be changed every 8 hours, however they are only sold after they drill a hole through the serial number on each die. This is called "canceling the dice". Once they have a hole in them, they will roll a lot more 2, 3, 4, 5 and fewer 1s and 6s so it is not recommended to use them for wargaming. If you want true "casino" dice you have to get them from the companies that make them: Paulson, and Midwest. Paulson dice are hard to find online (ebay is your best bet), but midwest dice can be found at their website: http://www.midwestgamesupply.com/. Prepare to pay a hefty price though - at the time of writing, 5 midwest dice will cost you almost US$15! True casino dice should be called sterilized dice and be sealed in a tin foil wrap that makes them look like large cough drops. If you do end up buying casino dice you will have to watch that you don't chip the edges off of them as it does affect the roll too."

lego, the ones from grosvenors casino are new, i have checked this before
all they do is sell of a small ammount of dice stock from time to time.

Thanks guys, good tips from both of you!

ah cool, good to know.
