Hi Charles, No. When you get into special gaming dice such as the d20 dice used in Dungeons and Dragons they don't have the little holes or indention's found on your typical dice for Monopoly etc. The special gaming die such as the d10 and d20 have the print numbers 1 through 10 or 1 through 20 printed on the dice. Often you can't feel the print number and the general size and shape of the dice makes it difficult if not impossible to braille them. Usually the more sides the dice has on it the smaller the numbers are to see.
For example, I have here a 10 sided die and a 20 sided die. Both are slightly larger than a standard set of playing dice but are obviously a lot different in over all shape. The 10 sided dice is diamond shaped, and the 20 sided dice is almost round accept it is flat everywhere there is a number. Not sure what shape you would call it, but the over all size and shape of the places where the numbers are printed are so small that braille labels wouldn't fit. There are also other special kinds of dice with pictures on them. I have a board game with pictures of skulls, swords, and things like that on the dice which are specific to that game. That raises the question of how to properly label a picture when a skull and a sword both start with the letter s, and you need to come up with something a bit more creative to represent those pictures and makes sense. Point being that the standard six sided dice you are thinking of isn't all there is to gaming dice by a long shot. Cheers!
