"We'll let fate decide."
Watto[src]

A chance cube, also known as a die (pl. dice), was a small, frequently but not always, cubical object used for gambling.[1] Three of the sides were one color, while the other three were another color.[source?]

Watto used a chance cube with when gambling with Qui-Gon Jinn on the Boonta Eve Classic. After refusing to bet both Anakin Skywalker and his mother Shmi against Anakin Skywalker's Podracer, he offered to roll his chance cube to decide which slave would be wagered (blue for the boy, red for his mother). Qui-Gon Jinn used telekinesis to influence the fall of the chance cube to ensure that Anakin's freedom would be at stake.[1] However, as Watto had weighted the die (five red spaces and one blue) to ensure winning such random tosses, he was taken quite by surprise with Jinn's trick.[2]

Vilmarh Grahrk once played a game with chance cubes in a casino on Ord Mantell, although these had more than six sides.[3]

Han Solo had a pair of dice-shaped ornaments decorating the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon.[4]
