Hybrid Craps? Do you like it?

Quote: unJon

DI should love crapsless craps. Buy the outside numbers and set the crossed 6s.

if he was a so called di, he would not make that statement. But the mods let this behavior go on.

Here is Scott Roebens (Vital Vegas) view on Roll to Win.

I certainly am looking forward to trying it out. I do enjoy the interaction with dealers and the chips. I'm not a believer in the history shown on Roulette tables, but have always wished for something like that at a craps table. I've been at tables where a shooter has had a long roll and always wondered how many points made, numbers rolled, etc. It won't tell anything about future numbers. I just like the history part.

My wife and I played this at Palace in Biloxi last Thursday, Feb 11th. My wife had a great roll - she was up to 48 rolls. The machine has a side bet that pays 100-1 on 50 rolls. The stick/dealer has to input each roll into the game, and she put in a 6-6 when the dice showed 5-5. So the supervisor had to be called in to make the correction, taking several minutes. Guess what, the next roll was 4-3 (seven out), so the machine only had to pay 30-1 on the side bet.

Other than that, we had fun. My wife threw for about 40 minutes. I liked the precise calculation of the payouts. For example, I could place $9 on the six, and would be paid $10.50 when it hit. There were 10 betting stations around the table, and only one dealer to run the game. I could see how that would save in labor cost for the casino.

So about one roll per minute. Watching paint dry. Gotta yell at the appropriate suit if I can.

This is essentially the bottom line. Traditional craps table is a modern day business dinosaur. Too many employees to operate the game. I expect to see more of these games open in Vegas.

They have this digital table at barona now, and the card shuffle is still part of the game

Of course, it's California. They're well mannered there!
