Nothing huge, but it wouldn't hurt trying different variants:

But how would that relate to September 4th? DLC? Doubtful.

It's awfuly tempting to assume that 51 is somehow related to PAX, but the time is off by a couple of hours.
Also, if we assume that the revealed pictures are dominos rather than dice, the pair on the left could be interpreted as 9/4. But what could the 10 and 5 on the right mean? - Jett

They don't look like any dominos I've ever seen.
I think they are just dice but made up because the PM needed an "8".

Those are "double six" dominoes, which are the most common, but the site is using "double nine" dominoes. (seen here )
So I emailed with the short and sweet question, "What is 51 anyway?" yesterday, and got a response: "It's a surprise that will soon be revealed. "

i too am following the dice
if it is just a marketing company then it's brilliant. what better way to introduce yourself really than with something like this? they don't exist, yet have managed to create a pretty sizeable interest in themselves with a clever viral. if i had a gaming company hell i'd be stoked...this is different.
i've dealt with a ton of marketing companies and i've never seen interaction like this with a "target audience" as you say. usually all you get are stale press releases lol.
but i say brilliant if in fact you guys have stumbled upon the hidden meaning. great way to say "hey we're a different marketing beast" that engages the people we market to.
just my 2 cents.
but then, maybe it's a gambling site? the obvious answer is usually the correct one LOL.

So looks like there's going to be a drop at PAX.

I came to post the new picture too.
I'm pretty confident that this is PAX related now. The note pointing to the button looks to me like it says, "Find this at P.A" which I'm thinking is "P.A.X." That, paired with the fact that countdown timer is exactly 2 hours different from the countdown on the PAX page, leads me to believe they are related.
