Surprisingly, we’ll prove that standard scientific tests are not powerful enough to determine that the dice are unfair while playing a game.

Here's a casino cheating consultant explaining how casinos check for loaded dice. (The rest of the video is also really interesting!) You spin the dice. Balanced dice spin normally, loaded dice spin in a lopsided way.

I'm ok with cheating in single player games because you are playing how you want to play, but cheating in multiplayer games kinda makes you a dick.

The article was interesting, and spent vastly more time discussing the practical aspects of statistical analysis; it uses a great, and relatable, real-world example to showcase how statistics can be useful, or where it can be led astray.
