Introduction
we are going to show you an electronic LED dice which is nearly unbiased.
There is no chance to cheat as the circuit operates at such a high speed
that the circuit is almost imperceptible to the human eye.
There is also little maintenance and there is hardly any impact on
aging of the circuit. The frequency may vary a bit with change in power
supply voltage, aging of the active and passive components but still the
randomness will be preserved without any trouble.

Applications
This unbiased electronic dice with LEDs can be used wherever traditional dice is used like:
• The battery can die anytime which can stop the game.
• Any player can tweak the digital dice if the algorithm is known to them.
• The electronic dice is not very popular and easily available in the local stores.
Conclusion
A digital dice is the best alternative for entertainment purposes like in board
games. The low cost and vast availability makes this device more interesting.
This device can be a good use in our everyday lives.
