Abstract: An automatic dice shaking system includes multiple dice seat holders each having two locating grooves, multiple dice seats selectively attachable to the dice seat holders, each dice seat having an inner thread and locating rods attachable to the locating grooves of one dice seat holder to prohibit rotation of the respective dice seat relative to the respective dice seat holder, a dice cup connectable to one dice seat by threading an outer thread thereof into the inner thread of one dice seat and movable with the connected dice seat away from the dice seat holders to shake the respective set of dice, and a mechanical arm controllable to move the dice cup horizontally and vertically and to rotate the device cup.

Abstract: A automatic dice shaking apparatus that uses a mechanical arm to substitute for labor in performing dice cup and dice seat joining, dice shaking and dice cup opening actions automatically, improving game fairness and reducing the personnel cost.

Abstract: A automatic dice shaking method includes the step of a) positioning a dice seat of a dice box on a plane, b) joining a dice cup of the dice box to the dice seat, c) shaking the dice box in which a plurality of dice are contained, d) positioning the dice seat with which the dice cup is joined on the plane, and e) separating the dice cup from the dice seat. By means of controlling a computer-controlled mechanical arm to run dice shaking and dice cup separating actions automatically, the automatic dice shaking method improves game fairness and helps reduce the personnel cost.

Abstract: In one embodiment there is provided a self contained dice tumbler device. The device includes an interior lateral panel positioned within the interior of the device and which separates the interior into a tumbler compartment and a holding compartment. The holding compartment can be used to store playing cards. The device also includes at least one ramp in the tumbler compartment that leads to an exit opening. Dice dropped into the tumbler compartment can get scrambled and will slide out of the exit opening. The cover the top and exit opening on the device, a hinged panel door is included.
