The concept of "controlled shooting" goes beyond simply "setting the dice" prior to shooting.It purports to limit the rotation of the dice during the roll. The theory is that if the dice are properly gripped and tossed at the correct angle they will land just before the back wall of the craps table, then gently touch the wall, greatly increasing the probability of their remaining on the same axis.
Dice towers have been used since at least the fourth century, in an attempt to ensure that dice roll outcomes were random. [1] The Vettweiss-Froitzheim Dice Tower is a surviving example, used by Romans in Germany; it has essentially the same design as modern examples, with internal baffles to force the dice to rotate more randomly.
A very common notation, considered a standard, expresses a dice roll as nds or nDs, where n is the number of dice rolled and s is the number of sides on each die; if only one die is rolled, n is normally not shown. For example, d4 denotes one four-sided die; 6d8 means the player should roll six eight-sided dice and sum the results.

Sevens, elevens, and doubles (also referred to as 7/11/2x, sloppy dice [1] or hero [2]) is a drinking game played with two dice.

To win the game: remain the last drinker.
The actual origins of the game are not clear; some of the earliest documentation comes from 1893, when Stewart Culin reported that Cee-lo was the most popular dice game played by Chinese-American laborers, although he also notes they preferred to play Fan-Tan and games using Chinese dominoes such as Pai Gow or Tien Gow rather than dice games.
