Keeping the rolls random

Ever wonder if the dice rolls for your computer gaming are really random? Or do you suspect that Skynet is occasionally throwing the game in another’s favor? You can bypass all these problems at GamesByEmail.com. The site’s Dice-O-matic is a wonderful analog/digital hybrid to ensure that all of dice rolls are randomly generated with physical dice. All dice are actually rolled from a hopper before being photographed and scanned to determine the total. The machine makes over 80,000 rolls a day, and you can watch the analog/digital conversion process here (sadly, there is no commentary). But rest assured. It’s 100% random. And a random roll is the backbone of good backgammon!
