If thrown together then the odds are all the same. However, if each dice is thrown separately the odds will alter considerably although the law of probability will be the same.
I.e if you throw two 6's, nobody will offer you 5 to 1 in throwing a six in 16 throws. Likewise if you throw 15 dice with no 6's the odds of throwing a treble 6 will be about 108 to 1.
