Fair rolls every time
Physical dice can be slightly unbalanced by manufacturing or wear. These can’t: every face of every die has exactly the same chance, using your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator with unbiased sampling. Each roll is independent of the last, so a string of low rolls doesn’t make a high one more likely.
