COUNTERBALANCED PERFECT DICE This is the NEWKST development in percentage dice and represents a scientific discovery for the Do and Don't game operator. COUNTERBALANCED DICE caliper perfect; are not shaped, buffed, weighted or capped and absolutely defy detection without special balancing calipers. COUNTERBALANCED DICE are made in any size or color transparent, but we recommend 5/8 or 11/16 inch as the most satisfactory. These dice have been tried and tested and will show a very attractive percentage on the line but not enough to damage the outside or percentage points.

Include six of these dice along with your PERFECT DICE and receive the profits you deserve. Concave or flush spots.

No. 10H122. Counterbalanced Dice, concave spots Per Pair $3.00 No. 10H143. Counterbalanced Dice, flush inlaid Per Pair 4.50

SHAPED PERFECT DICE The necessity of protecting the take is acknowledged and to meet this requirement we offer our PERFECT DICE very mildly shaped. The flat is not apparent and can only be detected with the use of instruments, but an increased percentage on the line, while still protecting the outside and percentage points, makes these dice a favorite with the banker. Best results are obtained with a slightly brushed edge. For Flush Spots, add $0.50 per pair extra.

TWO WAY PERFECT DICE Some operators prefer a two way shape as the flat is unusually mild and this in connection with an invisible bevel affords very satisfactory results. Two Way PERFECT dice are made 5/1000 off on the Ace and Six with 3/1000 off on the Five and Deuce and an invisible bevel on the Deuce. For Flush Spots, add $0.50 per pair extra.

No. 10H126. Two Way Perfect Dice Per Pair $2.50

SINGLE DICE COMBINATIONS Single Dice Combinations, using one transparent filled dice in combination with one PERFECT dice are always popular.

For Flush Spots, add $0.50 per pair extra.
