Roll two dice and 7 comes up far more than 2 or 12 — because more combinations add to it. See the bell curve emerge as you add dice.

Roll one die and every outcome is equally likely — a flat distribution. Roll several and sum them, and the shape becomes a bell: middle sums have many combinations, extremes have few. This is the central limit theorem in miniature, and why 7 is the most common roll of two dice and the heart of the game of craps.
Reading this result: Your target sits right at the peak: sums near the mean of 7 have the most combinations while the extremes have just one each — the central limit theorem in miniature.

How it works
A single die is uniform, but summing several dice produces a distribution that bulges in the middle, since central totals can be made many ways and extremes only one. It is the central limit theorem in miniature and explains the odds behind craps, backgammon, and countless board games.

Is this dice probability distribution tool really free?▾
Yes. Dice Probability runs entirely in your browser using your device's own compute, so local use is free forever. You only pay Compute Tokens if you scale a job to the cloud.
Do I need to install anything?▾
No. Everything runs client-side in a modern browser — no downloads, no license, no account required to start.
Can I save or share my simulation?▾
