I got a laugh out of this: SHFL made a company promotional video about the Fire Bet which they now own and market, and used an illegal dice slide in the video sent to casino managers.

Interesting. Do you suppose they'll add it to Rapid Craps? It seems logical they would.

You're absolutely right that the dice are sliding.

But you're only partially right about the comment you made on your own forum:

We've been looking closely at the "craps table" and it doesn't appear to even have the "Fire Bet" layout on it? Do you see it?


I noticed that there are no chips on the table at all. Upon further examination, the entire layout is a little "off". I finally realized what was going on.

The video was shot on a RapidCraps table.

As such, there would not be Fire Bets on the layout. At most, there would be a description of it - in the area of the table that was out of focus.

However, that does not excuse the dice slide.

But wait! THERE'S MORE!

In the CGI intro, the dice are round-edge with recessed spots.

There is no mention of ShuffleMaster's involvement at www.HopBet.com. Their website makes it look like they still own it.

Upon further examination, the video at HopBet uses the same rounded dice. However, the video is NOT the same. The version at HopBet does not have the live action. Also, although the editing / sequence of the CGI is the same, the text uses different fonts.
