A guy I played craps with was telling me that he thinks there are digital influences on the casino craps table. He said the dice have something in them that can be digitally manipulated. Im not buying it.... although I always say when big money is involved, I would not count anything out... but this is a little silly. If the casinos ever got caught it would be lights out for them. Additionally, would a disgruntled ex employee of the casino or dice manufacturer eventually write a tell all book, etc. Did I mention that the guy smelled like weed... theory debunked!

To second this I know of a non-indian casino in the US (so real state regulation) that was caught short decking it's blackjack games (by removing 10's and A's) and they were simply fined and not a lot of publicity came from it. Who knows how long they were doing it...Quote: AxelWolfNot true.

What State?
"Mid-West"Quote: gamerfreakWhat State?
Quote: WatchMeWinDoes anyone here have suspicions or proof of casinos and dice manufacturers fixing dice on a regular craps table? Magnets, digital frequencies interference, etc?
Google "dice control" or "dice influencing."
Not that there's anything of value there, but it will help you to pass the time.

But how to generate a decent localized magnetic field at the other end of the table?

Generating a localized magnetic field that could pulse on and off at the end of a casino table would be child's play (for the casino.). Its the same technology as an electric motor.
However, the plastics with magnetic properties that are cited in the Wiki article are flexible and deformable - not appropriate properties for casino dice.
You would need to find a formulation of the plastic that would allow it to be injection molded into the die form and that would harden with heat (and/or with time, if you used a hardening agent). And, even if you accomplished that, the entire die would then have "magnetic susceptibility" -which is not what you want if you want to control which side the die will land on.

This would have definitely made some news. Do you have a link?

Ok to narrow here....So actual Midwest geographically (like Colorado), Midwest like middle America (IA, MO), or Midwest that’s in the eastern time zone that for no reason no whatsoever people call Midwest (MI, OH, etc)?
Also, you forgot air quotes around “real state regulation.”
Whether they test the bubble craps from time to time I don't know but it would have to be a really powerful magnet and that means it would be a big one. Frankly, I doubt it would even work.
It was a Michigan casino. In the early 2000's, if I remember. You'd have to contact the tv stations in Detroit to see if they have a record of the story.Quote: onenickelmiracleHeard Souring Eagle.

It would be nice if there was an internet page that maintained a database of all the instances in which casinos have been caught (by regulatory agencies) cheating the customers.

Aren't all Michigan casinos outside of Greektown, MGM, and Motor City tribal casinos?
I think MGCB only has jurisdiction over those three.
Because I should have just named the casino but didn't want to because it's right in my neck of the woods and now I realize not a lot of people would have known that anyways, but with my hesitation to name it then I'd imagine that's not too hard to figure out. Long time members can PM me and I'll more than likely give you the name of the place. I'm all for outing cheating casinos.Quote: HunterhillWhy protect them ,how about the name of the casino.
You guys know before they open a dice table they test the dice for magnetism right?
But let's say they do manipulate the dice..whether it's by magnets, or mind control or using Quicksilver to change the dice faster than the dealer can see it (not The Flash, he gives off too much wind effect..Also Marvel > DC)....wouldn't you notice it?
Also, dealers/pits don't care enough to purposely manipulate the dice. If there was some crazy scheme against the players we would have to be in on it and nobody would agree to it...we want your tips...pits want your tips....happy players=happy dealers=happy pits=happy management.
