Snake eyes in Japan

I learned from a couple of media (particullary Japanese anime) where rolling snake eyes with two dice is actually the highest possible throw. I doubt this is usable as reference, but it might be interesting to note "In some dice games, this combination is actually the highest possible roll."

I'm gonna see if i can upload a better picture than the current one as well. Vadigor 11:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alien Eyes

I am a fantasy roleplayer and have never heard of the term 'alien eyes'. Can somebody cite its source? --Bottlecapninja 15:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On an American Roulette wheel, double zero is also know as snake eyes.

No it dosen't! it only refers to dice.

Movie mention

I removed the bolded section as I couldn't find any mention of bad luck in the movie Article.

“

...in a more general usage as a reference to bad luck as in the "Snake Eyes" movie (Brian de Palma, 1998).

pardon my ignorance

but I thought that a probability of 1 was the highest and therefore if snake eyes has a more than .5 probability, calling it "rarely rolled" would be wrong. 4.249.63.250 (talk) 22:49, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

it has the same probability as any other combination of two equal values. nothing special about it. 212.185.225.31 (talk) 06:11, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References

Would this make a better monopoly reference than the current "Monopoly on a roll" guidelines? If you agree, please change it.

True probability value

The article says that the probability of getting a snake eyes per dice roll is 1/36. That's correct IF the dice are rolled one at a time. If, however, both dice are rolled at the same time, the probability is 1/21, being 21 the total number of combinations of two dice's values. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. --85.138.145.246 (talk) 21:42, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, never mind, my mistake. There are actually 36 combinations because the dice are independent objects. Sorry for the confusion. --85.138.145.246 (talk) 21:47, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Taps?

What is the ball game "taps" referenced here, and what does it have to do with the gambling term Snake Eyes? It seems like that doesn't belong in this article.
