Miller has been credited with inventing the casino dice clock for his father's Las Vegas-based souvenir manufacturing business.[7] The clocks were made in the USA until Miller's father, Hal, died and Miller and his mother closed the Miller Novelty Company in 1987, after 60 years in business.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
