Abstract
A device for scrambling dice and the like includes a pair of housing bodies which collectively define a generally vertical chute for directing dice from an upper entryway to a lower discharge opening. A door is attached adjacent to a lower edge of the discharge opening and is pivotable between a first position wherein the door closes the discharge opening, and a second position wherein the door provides a ramp for directing dice falling downwardly through the chute away from the housing through the discharge opening. A plurality of pins and baffles extending into the chute deflect dice falling downwardly through the chute. In one embodiment, the pins may be removed and repositioned as desired. The housing bodies are further configured to provide a closed container for the dice to facilitate shipping and storage of the dice within the dice scrambler.
