small project going on here. basically i need 4 momentary switches connected to an electronic dice (i have the dice already)
this is for a game - each player has a push switch (think they are called momentary switches so basically push it once and it goes off again). anyone can press their button at anytime to roll the electronic dice. pictures below show my dice, battery pack, on off switch and also the push button switch , basically need 3 more of these like the switch in the other pic,
basically no idea how to power and wire up if you have any ideas please. thanks so much

Welcome to Maker Pro. :) Schematic, datasheet, link?
Did you assemble it yourself?
A momentary switch turns on when pressed and turns off when released. A latching switch, stays on until pressed again.

Tactile switch .....small and momentary contact.
Maybe I'm looking at it all wrong but a dice has 6 sides.

To keep it very simple, simply remove the switch from the board and wire four momentary ‘push to make’ switches in parallel.
These pre-wired switches will be fine. All black wires together and all red wires together. Then solder to the board where the original switch was.
Here’s an example switch Here

+1 for @Martaine2005's simple solution.

You do. This electronic dice has one side with 7 LEDs which are turned ona nd off to generate the familiar pattern of "numbers" on a dice. See the op's picture.

ah guys thank you. so remove that 1 push button on the pcb - and wire in 4 parallel. no idea but will do some research.
do i need more than 2 connectors on the bottom of the switches? im seeing some switches with 6!!! - i wanted to get something like the attached pic - but only has 2 connectors - this ok or 3 required?
