Survivor Dice contest

[Jintosh]

So, there was a separate island contest for three of the contestants. One from each tribe.

You have a big bamboo cup, really large, and 7 dice, each dice is about 1 inch square.

The four middle squares in a ring around the dice have a carved diamond shape in the middle.

Each opposing end of the dice has either a FLAME or a SKULL.

You roll all 7 dice and set aside any flames or skulls, and roll the remaining dice.

You keep rolling the dice until 4 of the same symbol are saved up. 4 skulls or 4 flames. Since there's only 7 dice, it must be one or the other with no possibility of a tie.

4 skulls means you lose. 4 flames means you win.

I saw this and loved it. And immediately set out to make a set. And then I'm like......I don't have money to waste on this right now.

I wish I'd win the Lotto Jackpot.

Go back and watch this scene again. Pay close attention to how the dice behave. They look like they’re magnetically manipulated from under the table. I think that challenge was rigged.

Not impossible, but I have enough confidence in Survivor to believe they're not rigged.

I had large 1 inch dice when I was a kid. I wanted to play all the games with my huge dice, Yahtzee and such.
The 1 inch dice behaved differently. Because these are wood, they are relatively light weight, but are large. Getting it to turn when rolling the dice with such a large size when you don't have as much weight to push it past the tipping point is what you're seeing here. My large dice I had as a kid were HOLLOW and had the same odd behavior because of the size/weight ratio.
