The dice used at casinos for craps and many other games are sometimes called ''perfect'' or ''gambling house dice''. These are generally made from translucent extruded [[cellulose]], with perfectly square edges each {{cvt|3/4|±|1/5000|in}} in length, with pips drilled {{cvt|17|±|4|mil}} deep and filled with opaque paint matching the density of cellulose, which ensures the dice remain balanced. The dice are buffed and polished to a high glossy finish after the pips are set, and the edges usually are left sharp, also called square or razor edge. To discourage cheating and dice substitution, each die carries a serial number and the casino's logo or name.<ref name=Scarne74/>{{rp|23–24}} New Jersey specifies the maximum size of the die is {{cvt|0.775|in}} on a side.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nj.gov/oag/ge/docs/Regulations/CHAPTER69E.pdf |title=New Jersey Administrative Code, Title 13, Chapter 69E: Gaming Equipment |publisher=State of New Jersey |access-date=24 December 2024}}</ref>{{rp|13:69E-1.15}}
