Quality backgammon dice cups are best for rolling

A key element in every backgammon game is rolling the dice. To make the game fair, the backgammon dice should be randomly rolled. The best way to do achieve this is to use special backgammon cups.

Many of us may be used to rolling our backgammon dice using the simple cups supplied with a simple backgammon game set. These cups are often just an elliptical cup with a felt lining. However, these containers will not provide the randomness that is built-in to quality backgammon cups. The dice can slide around at the bottom of the cups instead of rolling when shaken. Also, when the dice are tipped out, they may slide out onto the board without achieving a proper roll.

Quality backgammon cups have special features to ensure that the backgammon dice roll around on the inside of the cup. These features include a ridge at the bottom of the cup and bumps on the inside walls. Most important, a good cup should have a lip around the inside at top of the cup. The lip forces players to flip the dice out of the cup instead of letting the dice just slide out. The added flip will make the dice roll on the board and ensure a fair backgammon game.

Using the right kind of backgammon cups when you play will not only improve the quality of the backgammon game itself but will also add to your skills and experience. The backgammon dice will truly be random adding excitement to your game and building your experience and knowledge of the game.
