A dice tower is an object used by gamers to roll dice. There are many forms of towers and they vary in construction and design.

The main elements of a dice tower include:

* the tower itself, a hollow, vertical rectangular prism with projections along the side to sufficiently tumble the dice in order to achieve a random result
* a ramp at the bottom which spills the dice from the inside of the tower
* a small tray, into which the dice come to rest, usually bordered by a short lip to prevent the dice from exiting and disrupting the game or going astray

The dice are dropped in the top of the tower and gravity does the rest.
