King Dice is the tertiary antagonist in The Cuphead Show!. He was a con-artist who was the Devil's right-hand man and self-proclaimed number one, and the former game host of the show Roll the Dice. After he was rehired, King Dice possibly became the manager of the Devil's newly opened casino.
In The Cuphead Show!, his design stays the same as in the game, but with small changes. The buttons on his waistcoat are black, his bowtie is fuchsia purple, the collar of his tailcoat is in a darker shade of purple, and his eyelids are silver. His shoes also have a different design.
King Dice's personality isn't really all that different from his original game counterpart. While much more charismatic than his portrayal in the game, he is no less deceitful and manipulative, as shown with his "prize" for the "winners" of his game show being them having their souls sucked out and sent to The Devil, and then having their bodies shoved out the door in front of a sign saying "thanks for playing." His deceiving nature is also shown in "Release the Demons!", where he manipulates some of the demons he's forced to work with into killing each other so he can be the last one standing and get Cuphead's soul for his boss.
Of course, unlike in the game, King Dice is more prone to underestimating Cuphead, as when he appeared on his show, he thought he would easily snatch up his soul for the Devil. This also brings out a more impatient and forceful side to him, as Dice becomes incredibly angry and irritated from Cuphead's antics and tries to make him go into the "prize room" by force after reaching the end of his rope.
King Dice is also shown to have an egotistical streak, even flirting with his own reflection before heading out on stage. The three things King Dice cares about are himself, his title as the Devil's "Number One", and his gameshow. In "Release the Demons!" he kills the demons he's supposed to be working with just to steal all the glory for Cuphead's capture, showing how heinous and desperate he is when It comes to competition, especially considering how horrified he was when the Devil had accidentally incinerated his finest demons earlier. This makes him somewhat of a hypocrite.

King Dice was in his show, trying to capture Cuphead, but his show was ruined by the crowd. He felt desperate as the people left the building. He growled in frustration.
"GRR!! I can't believe it! That stupid Cuphead ruined MY show! He'll pay for this when I tell the Devil about this!"
