this e-Craps machine has real dice.
all chips/betting is by touchscreen but the dice is real and it rolls itself.
i see the dice under a clear plastic dome.
Quote: Ardent1Here's the punchline -- software drives the launch speed of the ball and software tells how fast the wheel has to spin. Get my drift.
Quote: Ardent1Interblock has a real roulette under a dome where the player bets on a touchscreen.
In the roulette wheel, the ball launches by itself and the wheel spins by itself.
The players can see the ball roll around the edge of the wheel and land into a pocket.

Quote: FinsRuleHow do these machines work mechanically? Has anyone done a study? Is there enough to the machine to make every roll independent? It's not just enough for it to average over time. Each roll needs to be completely independent.
The way those dice shake, can you roll a 12 then another 12? Are people tracking this?
Yes. At least with the brand machine I was watching.Quote: FinsRuleThe way those dice shake, can you roll a 12 then another 12? Are people tracking this?
The dice are huge. Like 4" or thereabouts. They also have rounded corners. In fact, the round is the maximum roundness you can have with a cube. I.E. Each "face" is a circle.Quote: 100xOddsi also wonder how often they change out to a fresh set of dice?
Quote: DJTeddyBearI assume your "drift" is suggesting that the software is attempting to achieve sector targeting, and that it's targeting the sector with the fewest bets.
Quote: DJTeddyBearYes. At least with the brand machine I was watching.
When it is time to roll, the machine does little bounces to "shake" the dice. While this is going on, the players watch, and the one "stooter" eventually presses a button to "shoot" them. At that point, there is on huge bounce, with very unpredictable results. when the dice finally settle, the sensor reads them and pays the winners, etc.
FYI: I'm fairly certain that the "sensor" is just optical. I.E. The camera really does look at the dice and recognize the spot patterns. There isn't any electronics in the dice to "tell" the machine how they landed.
Quote: 100xOddslol.. in craps, the dice have a sensor that tells the machine what #'s are on top.
so you're saying the machine will stop the dice bouncing at a 7 or hit the point, depending on how many right and dark bettors there are at the moment?
for roulette, you're also saying the software takes into account the weight of the ball, gravity, deflection speed off a bumper,etc to estimate a zone where the ball should land?
