Questions:
1. Can I re-roll a die already placed in the tray?
2. If I'm happy with what I have after the first or second roll, must I re-roll? If not, how does the player indicate he doesn't want any remaining rolls?
I would appreciate a nice screen-shot of the game from anybody who has password access.

1. The tray is a nice representation of held dice. You can change your mind and un-click them before you press "ROLL".
2. You always can stand - by pressing the "STAND" button. If it's throwing away the stake you will be asked for confirmation as safety net.
3. as per your request - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JuyoKI8ey54ZQn3zOfNR0Sm1j6ZkZIU7/view?usp=sharing

Nice job, but I wish there was also a chart showing the possibility of each hand at the end of 3 rolls. Kind of important when figuring the house edge.

Sorry to disappoint. :-) The house edge is what it is - 0.46% when making best choices. Just between Pass Line and Don't Pass Line in Playtech Craps. A pity they did not best Don't Pass Line, in my opinion. This game is more complex than Craps so should be 99.60-99.70%. 0.1% from heaven. Alas, still great game, where you need to earn an almost equal chance against the casino.

Very nice work! May I use this on Wizard of Odds? I'm happy to give proper attribution, of course. Just let me know how you would like to be known.
I am about 80% done with a program to analyze the game and it is looking like it may run rather slowly if the player ever re-rolls four dice. Never a need to re-roll all five, obviously. It seems clear from your strategy that the player never rolls four, but just to be safe, can you confirm that?
I think it's rather clear that
(1) the only way to improve having Four of a kind is to go for Five of a kind,
(2) you must roll, or you'll waste the opportunity to improve from 2.500 to 4.000
(3) it's FAR easier to match the fifth die to the Four of a kind (match the tail to a dog) than four dice to the fifth (match the dog to a tail).
The usefulness of this reasoning is not exhaustive.
And I bet if the game gets any traction at all, they will add those progressives.
