D6 Dice Roller

What is This Tool?

Welcome to our free online dice roller! Whether you're playing Monopoly with family, running an epic Dungeons & Dragons campaign, or need a quick and fair way to make random decisions, our tool provides instant, truly random dice rolls with beautiful animations.

Unlike many dice rollers that rely on client-side pseudo-random generation, our application uses server-side random number generation to ensure the highest quality randomness possible. Every roll is completely fair and unpredictable.

Key Features

• 1-5 dice support - Roll anywhere from a single die to five dice simultaneously
• Server-side randomness - True random number generation for fair results every time
• Animated canvas dice - Beautiful, realistic 3D-style dice with smooth rolling animations
• CSS fallback mode - Toggle between canvas and CSS-only rendering for maximum compatibility
• Roll history tracking - Keep track of your last 100 rolls with detailed statistics
• Distribution charts - Visualize the frequency of different roll totals over time
• Keyboard shortcuts - Power users can roll dice, change counts, and clear history without touching the mouse
• Mobile-friendly - Fully responsive design works perfectly on phones, tablets, and desktops
• No registration required - Start rolling immediately, no account needed
• Completely free - No ads, no premium features, no hidden costs

How It Works

When you click "Roll Dice", your browser sends a request to our server asking for random numbers. Our server uses cryptographically secure random number generation to produce truly unpredictable results. These numbers are then sent back to your browser, which animates the dice to display your roll.

The animation uses HTML5 Canvas technology to draw realistic-looking dice complete with rounded corners, gradient fills, and smooth pip placement. If your browser doesn't support Canvas (rare these days!), the app automatically falls back to pure CSS rendering so you never miss a roll.

Keyboard Shortcuts

For power users who want to roll dice quickly without reaching for the mouse, we've included several keyboard shortcuts:

How Multiplayer Works

Starting a Game

Click "Start Multiplayer Dice Game" to create a new session. You become the host and receive a unique invite link to share with others.

Inviting Players

Simply copy the invite link and send it to friends via chat, email, or any messaging app. No sign-up or login required — players just click the link and join instantly. Each game supports up to 5 players.

Real-Time Sync

All connected players see roll results instantly thanks to SignalR real-time communication. The player roster shows live connection status with role badges (Host, Control, You).

Turn-Based Control

Only the player with control can roll the dice. The host starts with control and can pass it to any other player. Whoever has control can also pass it onwards. This prevents chaos and ensures orderly play.

Ending the Game

The host can end the game at any time, which disconnects all players. If the host leaves, the game ends automatically. Individual players can leave without affecting others, and the host cannot kick players — only end the entire session.
