Question: What is the difference between Type A
and Type B dice?
There are a few casinos that utilize different colors such
as amber, green, purple, and even black. They also will
use either "A" or "B" type dice, sometimes called
"upside-down dice".
Every once in a while you will see a pair of red dice
with something different about them, something that
looks a little odd. Check out the pips (dots) on the
dice. The answer is in which way are the 2 pip and the 3
pip are pointing.
If the 3 pip and the 2 pip are forming an arrow toward
the 6 pip, these are called "type A dice." If the 2 pip
and the 3 pip form an arrow toward the 1 pip, these are
the "type B dice."
In the pictures below, picture #1 shows Type A on the
left side. Notice the 3 and the 2 forming an arrow
toward the 6. On the right is a Type B dice. On this
die, the 2 and the 3 forming an arrow toward the 1.
In picture #2, you see the 3V set on an "A" type
dice and a
"B" type dice. Notice the dice on the left side form an
arrow away from the shooter and the dice on the right
side form an arrow toward the shooter.
Both sets of dice are on the same axis and that is why
they are sometimes known as upside down dice. Most of
the casinos in Las Vegas use "type A" dice. Occasionally
you will find "type B" on certain shifts, but you should
never see them mix together in the same bowl.
It is important that you are aware of these two types of
dice. If you are setting the 3V set, and know that the V
points away from you, but now you see the V pointing
straight at you, it may take you out of your game.

roll! I think between that little
modification and adopting your betting tactics,
that this will work well in the long run.
Thanks again! -
