Abstract (en)

Utensil for dice playing, formed by a hollow container (1) as an opened bin by its upper face, and inclined internal walls (2,3,4) towards the base, in order to channel the dices towards a lower frontal outlet (5), the bin remaining on a plane surface (6) with appropriate height rim (7) so that the dices do not jump over. This bin permits that at the time of introducing the dices by the upper face, they fall on the plane surface (6) when coming out through the lower opening (5) of such bin. <IMAGE>
