low roll
Dice game disappointment
A low roll is a poor result when rolling dice, especially in tabletop or video games where randomness determines outcomes.
The term extends to any situation where chance produces an unfavorable result: I got a low roll on my apartment—the neighbors are awful.
To low roll is to get unlucky when it matters.
