They are for playing a dice-based poker game that has broad similarities to traditional poker played using playing cards. It involves five dice with representations of cards of varying suits and values. The dice are used to generate poker hands. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_dice for more details.

No, I was referring to standard dice with 1 to 6 pips not poker dice.
