This packages is a bit old and meant to be used with the pdfTeX  
engine. With XeTeX you can:

	\usepackage{fontspec}
	\newfontfamily\dice{Apple Symbols}
	.
	.
	.
	\begin{document}
	\dice{⚀⚁⚂⚃⚄⚅} %  U+2680…U+2685
	\end{document}

Besides Apple Symbols you can also use GNU Freefonts, Arev Sans,  
DejaVu, Code2000, STIX, XITS,...


They all have a white background and black foreground.
