 Players are generally asked not to throw the dice above a certain height (such as the eye level of the dealers).This is both for the safety of those around the table, and to eliminate the potential use of such a throw as a distraction device in order to cheat.Dice are still considered "in play" if they land on players' bets on the table, the dealer's working stacks, on the marker puck, or with one die resting on top of the other.
