Part II: Table Game Cheating · Dice & Craps Cheating Methods
Weighted / Loaded Dice (Passers / Missouts)
How it works
Dice that have additional weight added to one side or corner to alter the center of mass, causing the opposite (lighter) side to land face up more frequently. Common weighting materials include lead and other dense metals due to their high density (less material needed for the desired effect). The weight may be hidden inside one of the pips (dots), making it appear normal from the outside. The desired effect is for the heavier side to consistently land on the bottom, making the opposite face appear on top. Also known as “passers” when made to favour the point numbers and “missouts” when made to produce more 7s.

On the record
Loaded dice date back at least to Roman times. Rigged dice made at a dice factory also feature in the 2007 film “Ocean’s Thirteen.”
