What Is Dice Roller?

A free online dice roller for tabletop games, RPGs, board games, and decision making. Supports 1 to 10 dice with 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, or 100 sides. Track roll history, see statistics including average, min/max sums, and value distribution. Visual dice face display for d6 rolls.

Dice are the oldest random number generators in human history, used for games, divination, and decision making for thousands of years. Dice Roller brings virtual dice to your screen with support for 7 dice types, 1 to 10 dice per roll, roll history tracking, and detailed statistics.

Choose how many dice to roll (1-10) and what type of die from the classic tabletop RPG set: d4 (tetrahedron), d6 (cube), d8 (octahedron), d10 (pentagonal trapezohedron), d12 (dodecahedron), d20 (icosahedron), and d100 (percentile). For d6 rolls, a visual dice face display shows the actual dice faces rather than just numbers.

Each roll shows individual die values and their sum. The roll history logs every result with a timestamp, building a record of all rolls in the current session. The statistics panel shows the average roll value, minimum and maximum sums, and a value distribution chart that visualizes how often each total was rolled.

The distribution chart is particularly informative — with enough rolls, you should see the characteristic bell curve or flat distribution depending on the number of dice. Rolling 3d6 produces a bell curve centered around 10.5, while 1d20 produces a flat distribution where each value is equally likely.

Real-World Use Cases for Dice Roller

Rolling Initiative for a D&D Combat Encounter

A Dungeon Master calls for initiative rolls. Each player rolls a d20. The DM clicks Roll for 4 dice, d20 type. The results show four values: 15, 8, 19, 12. The order is determined: the 19 goes first, then 15, 12, and 8. The history logs the initiative order for reference during combat.

Testing Dice Fairness with Distribution Statistics

A board game player suspects a die is biased. Roll 1d6 100 times while tracking the distribution chart. The chart should show roughly equal bars for each value 1-6 (about 16-17 rolls each). If one value shows 30+ rolls while another shows 5, the die may be weighted or the random generator may have a bias.

Generating Character Stats with 3d6 Rolling

A D&D player needs to generate character stats by rolling 3d6 six times. Select 3 dice, d6 type, roll. The sum is 12. Roll again for the next stat. After 6 rolls, the stats are: 12, 9, 15, 11, 8, 14. The average panel shows the overall average roll across all stat rolls.

Pro Tips for Dice Roller

  • 1The distribution chart needs at least 20-30 rolls to show meaningful patterns. After 100+ rolls of 1d20, every value should appear roughly 5% of the time.
  • 2Rolling multiple dice and summing (like 3d6) creates a bell curve distribution where middle values are most common. The sum of 3d6 ranges from 3 to 18, with 10-11 being most likely.
  • 3The d100 (percentile) die is typically used with a d10 to generate 1-100. Rolling a d100 alone gives 1-100 directly.
  • 4For online tabletop games, use the roll history to track all dice rolls during a session. This provides a transparent record that all players can reference.
