People on Soylent love dice. This robot tosses dice for you when you send it a twitter message.
A tweet to @IntrideaDiceBot with the hashtag #RollTheDice will cause the Dicebot to spin up the dice. Once things have settled, DiceBot captures an image with its Raspberry Pi camera. The dice values are checked using OpenCV.

I have no reason to doubt that what is claimed is actually done, but how would you know? From TFA:
OTOH, as demand builds, it would not be hard to imagine that the demand could exceed the device's ability to provide real-time responses. As the *backlog* builds, it seems to me their choices are limited:
NOTE: The dice rolling could proceed non-stop and each result could replace a prior dice-roll-recording.
OTOH, I can just imagine how much fun it was to get this working - kudos all around!
