1. A device for randomly selecting a symbol among a plurality of predetermined symbols, said device comprising:
a main body having a polyhedral shape provided with a plurality of sides in even number and in pairs parallel and opposite to each, wherein each side is able to be placed on a plane by placing the corresponding parallel and opposite side in a position parallel to, and spaced from, said plane;
a plurality of containment compartments equal to the number of said sides, wherein each containment compartment is made at one of said sides within said main body and is provided with a transparent cover at said side and a support base, opposite said transparent cover within said main body;
a plurality of secondary devices for randomly selecting a symbol, each arranged within one of said containment compartments, and characterized in that each secondary device comprises a secondary body having a polyhedral shape provided with a plurality of faces in even number and in pairs parallel and opposite to each, wherein each face is provided with a predetermined symbol, wherein each secondary device has such a size as to be freely moved within said containment compartment, and wherein each face of said secondary device is able to be placed onto said support base by arranging only one face, corresponding to said face parallel and opposite to said support base, parallel to said support base and at said transparent cover;
wherein said containment compartment has a truncated cone shape with the larger base arranged at the side of said main body and the smaller base consisting by said support base, and wherein the shape and size of said support base are substantially equal to the shape and size of said faces of said secondary device contained in said corresponding containment compartment; and,
wherein said main body and the said containment compartments are made up of separate elements, wherein said main body is defined by an outer frame which has a through opening at each of said sides, and wherein the containment compartments are coupled within said frame so as to close said through opening at each of said sides.
