Do you have them yet?

I think a video would better demonstrate this product.

I’m still not entirely sure what the dice tower/turret really is….

It is a contraption that makes the dice roll so cheaters can ‘flop the dice’

In this way the dice roll and cannot be controlled as to where they land.

It is possible to control what you roll on dice and that has been proven many times.

wow thanks IL for your amazing answer. much better than mine.

They are also used so your dice don’t roll all over the table and bounce pieces of the game around.  Or so they don’t roll onto the floor and cat takes them around the house.

Many uses.

Where can I find this proof? I find this subject most interesting.

To see how this Tower works, go to my website.  http://www.thediceturret.com/instructions.  It shows you how it’s put together and how the dice roll down the Tower.  You can throw more than a dozen normal sized dice down this thing.  More if you use smaller dice.

Thanks IL, I never really thought about it, but I guess a dice tower is a good buy.

Thanks for the video. This helps me to understand how the dice tower works. Pretty much what I thought.

No problem.  I hope that was a good “Pretty much what I thought.”

I got the opportunity to use a few of these this past weekend at the Niagara Board Gaming Weekend.

All I have to say about them is … Very nice!  I was pleasantly surprised.

I’m glad to hear that you liked them.  They are very handy.  We’ve used DiceTowers before i started making these but they were always way to expensive for they do.  These are a great alternative.

perhaps one with all the new Italian pieces and the new dice would be nice?
