Press kit
Every roll is decided before the match starts.
In one line
The whole sequence of rolls is fixed before the first move and can be checked when the match ends. The computer does not see them coming either. No ads, no purchases, no account.
What makes it different
Card and dice games are widely believed to cheat, and their makers can only deny it. This one commits to its randomness before play and reveals it afterwards, so a player can check the claim instead of trusting it. The method comes from gambling regulation, where the same argument had to be settled with arithmetic. The full explanation.
