The base (10) for the container (60) has a transparent clamp (40) and a bowl container (62) adhered with caulking. Inside the clamp (40) there is an illuminator that shines and provides visual effect. On the two sides of the clamp (40) there are vertical plates (11) of equal height that fasten to the edge of the top cover (61), so they allow sealing and coverage of the bowl-shape container (62). The top cover (61) is transparent and has a hole (611) on its top. On the base (10) there is a small vertical board (50) between the vertical plate (11) and a support plate (12). A small driving motor (80) connects to a reverse L-shaped arm (90). At the end of the arm (90) there is a small camera (71) with an attached small container (70). The small driving motor (80) drives the arm (90) to swing, so the small container (70) can completely cover or uncover the hole (611) on the top cover (61). The small camera (71) can record the entire dice throwing process and the points of the dice in the container (62) at the end.
A pair of vertical boards (20) that connect to the side of the base (10) are located on the outer side of the two support plates (12). One has a large driving motor (30) on it to drive the entire base (10) for 180-degree rotation and return to provide dice rolling function.
There are a controller (100) and a display (110) that both have internal control circuit. The controller (100) electrically connects to the large and small driving motors (30, 80) to enable remote control for the automatic dice throwing. The connection of the display (110) and the small camera (71) enables the recorded dice throwing process by the small camera (71) to be shown on the display (110).

On the other hand, the illuminator inside the clamp (40) will flash as the large and the small driving motors (30, 80) are driving the base (10) and the arm (90) in rotation. Thus, it creates a vivid visual effect that is also entertaining.
In summary, the invention for an automatic dice-throwing method and its device not only saves manpower as in traditional dice-throwing fashion but also improves on fairness in the dice-throwing process. Therefore, the invention meets the qualifications to apply for a patent. The above-mentioned embodiment is just one preferred embodiment, any change and modification to lead to equivalent effect within the claims are also considered to be covered in the claims.
