How can the dice on this site be so trash?

Dice rolls need to be fixed.

If you know a moderator, you can ask to be in the A-tier for dice rolls. They are more skill-based dice rolls.

Well, my throws/hands are terrible even in games I developed...

This is a case of a, as the commoners call it, "skill issue". Most beginners in games do not know how to roll the dice properly. Most often, they just throw the dice and hope for something good. However, good players do not do this. They carefully use the optimal strategies to roll dice. It takes a lot of work to master rolling dice, but it can be done.
I assume RiggerRabbit here has not learnt the techniques of the pros. Naturally, he blames it on "rigged dice". But he simply * at rolling dice. So I will show the proper techniques to rolling dice (online).
To get a 70% chance of rolling an even, move your mouse to the right. Do the same for rolling an odd, except it's toward the left. Also, you must hold the mouse for a certain amount of time to double your chances of getting the desired number. Here they are:

• 1 - 0.4 seconds
  2 - 0.6 seconds
  3 - 0.2 seconds
  4 - 1 second
  5 - 0.5 seconds
  6 - 0.7 seconds

Of course, there are other techniques that good players use but are far too advanced to show or describe in this one post, so I will omit them.

Actually, the proper technique is browser- and OS-dependent, and it may also change depending on your chosen language (e.g. the comma/period decimal separator makes a difference).

Don't know why but at most of the time I get poor dices or numbers (Lucky Numbers) Do they really have such mechanisms?

You not only have to follow those rules exactly, you also have to truely believe in them. That is the most difficult part! It is based on the well-known Placebo effect and as everybody scientist will tell you, Placebo is actually working. You can influence your dice!

When I go to the casino and play roulette I sometimes make a handstand while the wheel is still spinning. I noticed that this increases my chances of getting the desired numbers by more than 5%. Doing a backflip is even more efficient but only if I land it - and I am not very athletic.

What a ludicrous proposition.

As a developer I could: take the simplest, fairest route and merely leverage the Random() function for my rolls. One line of code:

Dice1 = Random(1,6)

-OR-

Spend the exhaustive amount of time to create code which is cognizant of what "good" and "bad" rolls would be, and then based on... some criteria... decide who to award these good rolls to. Is it possible? Yes. Does it make ANY SENSE AT ALL that a developer, or the powers that be at BGA would spend that required level of effort, let alone sign off on creating systems that cheat? Zero point zero sense. Any developer caught doing this (and it would be painfully obvious) would be banished. Actually, tarred and feathered and drawn through the public center, then banished. They would be scorned for the rest of their life, probably, and risk their ability to be employed ever again. Not because the crime was so heinous, but because it was so childish. Imagine what would happen if I was caught marking cards at BGGCon. It'd be like that... but bigger.

It'd be like Ford motor company deciding, "you know what... we're going to make our cars go faster for some of our drivers, but not all. And we're going to keep it a secret from them."

It makes no sense. There's no upside. It would take a lot of effort. It would be easily discovered. It could ruin a company.

I have tried it in recent games but all in vain lol I know it's a Placebo effect but somehow it just doesn't work. *sigh*

So tired of games going out of their way to gift players PERFECT ROLLS. Site sponsored cheating needs to stop. Make dice rolls fair for all players so that games are skill based. Shill if you want to for this site but the people who experience these problems know what is up.

You want a game of pure skill?
Don’t play a game involving dice.
