There are no rules. Participants may vary the number of dices, exchange them, etc.
No questions regarding the underlying algorithm are allowed. Every participant gives a guess, and the facilitator gives the correct result.
Please keep your idea about the algorithm secret!

Waterfall: Fundamental bugs will delay the project a lot

Agile: Avoiding bugs from the very beginning
