Part II: Table Game Cheating · Dice & Craps Cheating Methods

Rhythm Rolling / Dice Control

How it works

A technique where the shooter uses a specific grip (commonly three fingers in front, pinkie in air, thumb on back) to lock the dice together, then throws them so they leave the hand together rotating with slight backspin on the ace-six axis. The goal is for the dice to stay together in flight, rotate evenly, land flat, absorb energy, and “glance” off the back wall while maintaining rotational alignment. Various dice sets are used: Hardway Set (avoids 7), 3V Set (targets 6s and 8s), All-7 Set (targets 7 on come-out), 2V Set (targets 5s and 9s), Crossed Sixes, Flying V, and others.

On the record

Dominic LoRiggio (“The Dominator”) claimed to consistently avoid rolling a seven over 70 times using controlled throws. A UNLV Gaming Institute study suggested that just over 8% dice control could tip the odds in favor of the player.
