ABSTRACT:
A die for use with a croupier type gaming table for which there are many games which are devised and played appropriately with the die. The die includes a core and a skin disposed on the core. The core has a shape that is a regular octahedron with eight faces that are congruent equilateral triangles which intersect each other at their edges which intersect each other at their vertices. The skin includes eight equilateral triangular pyramids, each of which has a base that is triangular, three lateral faces that are triangular and meet in a common vertex and intersect each other at three lateral edges. The base of each pyramid of the skin is disposed on, and is congruent with, a respective face of the core, with a respective pyramid extending outwardly therefrom. A lateral face of a pyramid of the skin and a lateral face of an adjacent pyramid of the skin, which share a common edge of a respective face of the core, together define a set, with the skin having a total of twelve sets thereon. Two opposing sets of the twelve sets are colored white, five opposing sets are colored red, and five opposing sets are colored black. Each set of the skin is divided into four congruent triangles that are consecutively numbered, with each set alternating between different odd and even numbers, and with the numbers ranging from 1 to 43.
