Ok, other than the novelty of it, why would a gamer want to use this over dice?
I am not trying to be mean, rather I am trying to understand the value the $30+ brings to me as the gamer.
The novelty is the only reason! Well, I suppose transport and noise are other factors, but neither particularly convincing ones. As with anything, it's just another way to produce random results during game play. Since I enjoy having variable methods, it works for me!
