In case anyone actually wanted to use ゾロ目, this is how it works...

See my treatise on ピンゾロ entry.  The most common (and most readily comprehensible) way to say "a roll of two ones" in Japanese is not ピンゾロ, but 1のゾロ目.  

This is also the safest translation of "snake eyes" in most cases(if you want to translate "bad luck" you'll need to add something extra...).

Also, it appears that this has a broader application than dice.  In numerology, for example, 5のゾロ目 is any number consisting of only 5s (also called "Angel Numbers" apparently).  55
555
5555 etc.

May also be used to talk about phone numbers with repeating digits in certain sections.

I don't know anything about numerology, but if you google "5のゾロ目" you'll get quite a large number of results that go well beyond dice.

Just throwing that out there. Not sure if it's worth a gloss: "a number consisting of a single repeating digit". (And maybe "Angel Number(numerology) if we're feeling adventurous, although apparently 56565656 is also an angel number if a sequence repeats, so maybe not).
