DICE COME IN STICKS OF FIVE AND ARE CLOSELY MONITORIED ON EACH TABLE ... THEY ARE BALANCED AND CHECKED FOR PRECISE SIZE ETC. SOME HAVE MATCHING SERIAL NUMBERS SO AN OUTSIDER CANNOT SLIP LOAD DICE INTO THE GAME ... 5 DICE = 2 PAIR + 1 IN CASE IT FLIES OFF THE TABLE AND COANNOT BE FOUND ... THEY STIL CAN RUN THE GAME WITH THE 2 PAIR THEY HAVE .... HOPE THIS HELPS .... TAKE CARE... RICH
