About This Virtual Dice Roller
This free online dice roller lets you simulate any tabletop die — from the classic 6-sided die to polyhedral dice used in RPG systems like Dungeons & Dragons. Roll up to 6 dice at once and get an instant animated total. No download, no account, no setup.
The roller uses your browser's built-in random number generator for statistically fair rolls. Each die result is completely independent of the previous one.

Dice Probability Reference
Each face of a fair die has an equal probability of landing. Rolling a specific number on a D6 is 1-in-6 (≈16.7%); on a D20 it's 1-in-20 (5%). When you roll multiple dice, the total follows a bell-curve distribution — the extremes become progressively rarer.
Two D6 (2D6) produce results from 2 to 12, but 7 is six times more likely than 2 or 12. This distribution is exactly why games like Farkle and Yahtzee use multiple D6s — the bell curve creates natural tension between safe banking and high-risk high-reward rolling strategies.
