Chances of each total with 3 dice
Three dice can land 216 different ways (6 × 6 × 6). Totals in the middle are far more likely than the extremes:
| Total | Ways | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| 3 or 18 | 1 | 0.5% |
| 4 or 17 | 3 | 1.4% |
| 5 or 16 | 6 | 2.8% |
| 6 or 15 | 10 | 4.6% |
| 7 or 14 | 15 | 6.9% |
| 8 or 13 | 21 | 9.7% |
| 9 or 12 | 25 | 11.6% |
| 10 or 11 | 27 | 12.5% |
The average total is 10.5.
Triples
All three dice match on 6 of the 216 combinations, so a triple of any kind comes up 1 roll in 36. A particular triple, such as three 6s, is 1 in 216 (about 0.46%).
Games that use three dice
- Role-playing games: classic Dungeons & Dragons rolls 3d6 for each ability score, and GURPS uses 3d6 for every check, which is why results cluster around 10 and 11.
- Sic Bo: a casino game where you bet on the total of three dice, or on doubles and triples.
- Chuck-a-luck: a fairground game where you bet on a number and win for each die that shows it.
Fair dice, every time
flipj uses your browser's built-in cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), the same source browsers use for encryption keys. We also avoid "modulo bias", a subtle flaw where some results come up slightly more often than others. Every result is generated on your device, so nothing you enter is sent to us.
