Dice Roller: Roll Dice Online Free

Need dice but don't have any? This free online dice roller rolls up to 6 dice at once — choose d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, or d20 — with a rolling animation, automatic totals, and roll history. Perfect for board games, RPGs, and classroom randomness.

How to roll

1. Pick your dice — how many (1–6) and which type (d4 through d20).
2. Roll. Watch them tumble, then see each result plus the automatic total.
3. Check history for your last 10 rolls — great for settling "what did I just roll?"

Which die do you need?

• d6 — the classic cube. Board games, craps, backgammon, and everyday "roll a die."
• d4, d8, d10, d12 — the tabletop family. RPGs like D&D assign different dice to different weapons and spells.
• d20 — the iconic 20-sided die; in D&D a natural 20 is a critical success and a 1 is a critical fail.
• Multiple dice — 2d6 for Monopoly-style movement, 3d6 for classic ability scores, handfuls for wargames.

Dice are among humanity's oldest randomizers — see Wikipedia's article on dice for their 5,000-year history.

What people roll dice for

• Board games: lost a die under the sofa? This is faster anyway.
• RPGs: D&D and friends need the full polyhedral set — it's all here.
• Classrooms: pick students, generate math problems, run probability demos.
• Decisions: assign options 1–6 and let the cube choose.
• Writing: roll for plot twists, character traits, or story prompts.

For two-outcome choices try the Coin Flip; for custom ranges the Random Number Generator.

Dice notation and odds basics

Tabletop players write dice rolls in a compact shorthand: the number of dice, a "d", then the number of sides. So 2d6+3 means "roll two six-sided dice and add 3." Once you can read that notation, you can decode any RPG rulebook — from how much damage a fireball deals to which check your character just passed.

A little probability goes a long way too. A single d20 gives every number a flat 5% chance, but 2d6 clusters around 7 — that's why board games built on two dice feel streaky in a predictable way. Roll a few dozen times here and watch the history: it's the fastest intuition-builder there is. And when the stakes are only "who does the dishes," pairing a roll with the Coin Flip for a best-of-three settles things in seconds.
