Congrats on the placements, are they the first live placements for these games or do you have them installed at other locations?
Quote: charliepatrickWell done (and thanks for the die at Coventry). Is the draw-poker the same one that's at Broadway - I like that one (but it relies on good hands coming along to keep you in the game)? Also are you allowed to say which casinos - when the football season starts again there might be a few away games I'll go to! Thanks

Hi Paradigm,

Hi Charliepatrick,
No, this is not the same Draw-poker at Broadway.
This one is: Trip Cards® Draw-Poker.
The one in Broadway is: Raies'em® 3-Card Draw (It is still there and doing will. started Sep-2013).

Hi UCivan,
This is a very good question (why would players prefer to play Roulette-18 over the regular Roulette?), and here is some answer to your question:
1. Roulette-18 is a faster game.
2. The straight up and split bets are easier to hit because it has only 19 numbers.
3. Most importantly in Roulette-18 the player shakes the dice cup with the Roulette-die in it.
P.S. Let me know if you or any one find any more (why would Players prefer to play Roulette-18 over the regular Roulette?) thanks in advance.
Why would casino use Roulette-18 over the regular Roulette?
1. Easy for player and dealer to learn (payout odds are similar to a regular roulette game).
2. Roulette-18 is a fast game.
3. House edge it's good.
4. Very easy to install the game.
5. Roulette-18 is player on their blackjack sized table (very small floor space are needed).
6. Only needs a Roulette-18 layout, a Roulette-die and a dice cup (no need for an expensive roulette wheel and maintenance).

On Players: very good points. U have covered them all; I could not think of any more reasons for players to like it. I do think players might not like it because the highest payout is only 17 to 1. Overall, this game will do well in the market. Wish you luck.
On Casinos: Only one dealer needed to host one table.
Roulette-18™ is played with a 20-sided die rolled in a shaker. The faces of the die contain the numbers 1 thru 18, and two zeroes (0, and 00). Nine of the numbers are red, nine numbers are black and the two zeroes are green. The double-zero (00) roll is not used in the game, so it’s ignored when it rolls.
Rules:
1. Players place their bets on the Roulette-18™ layout.
2. A Roulette-die is rolled in the shaker then exposed.
If the roll is a double-zero (00) all bets remain in action and the die is rolled again until a non-00 winning number is determined.
3. Dealer collects all losing bets and pays winning bets according to the P
aytable.

See below for the original plan and How would it be determined which New Table Games?
Leading casino brand (Grosvenor Casinos) is holding exclusive New Table Games showcase for selected customers and employees at Grosvenor G Casino Coventry UK.
The event will exhibit the very latest in table gaming technology the industry has to offer and will showcase both digital and electronic gaming formats together.
Grosvenor G Casino Coventry will showcase New Table Games from big name suppliers such as:- SHFL Entertainment, TCS-JohnHuxley, Mr CasinoGames®, Customised Casino Games Ltd, Galaxy Gaming, Evolution Gaming, ICS-Europe, IGC, Inspired and IGT.
Guests will be invited to experience and trial the latest games as an integral part of Grosvenor Casinos’ testing process.
Their feedback from the evening will ultimately decide which games will go onto live trials and eventually onto the gaming floor across the 56-strong Grosvenor Casinos estate.
P.S. I think they can trial Five New Table Games, because they have 56-strong Grosvenor G-Casinos in UK.
Quote: charliepatrickOne reason is a recent decision by Grosvenor HQ to allow local management the choice to select and try out new games. They realise that sometimes this will differentiate their casino from others in the same town or provide a unique selling point. Also players seem always willing to try out new games, and I'm guessing they like the novelty of something different; some have survived beyond the initial three-month trial. Interestingly last time there were also new games for fruit machines, some of these have now appeared in casinos.
I can understand some casinos staying to the games that make a consistent profit and are reluctant to remove a profitable table for a untested game. However it must be an initiative that is proving useful to Grosvenor otherwise they wouldn't keep it going (given the associated costs of sending managers to Coventry every six months). Hopefully the idea will catch on with other casinos.

P.S. The next New Table Games showcase for 56+ G-Casinos (Grosvenor) in Coventry UK is on Thursday 23rd October.
I will be showing 3 New Table Games:

3. Live Triple-Lines Poker™ (3-Lines Video-poker play on a Live-table with a Live-Dealer).
2. Jackpot-Street Roulette™ (Roulette Bonus-bet).
Is it just me or does anyone else question those house edge figures? For example, a straight up (single number) bet pays 17 to 1. Shouldn't the house edge be (19/20)*1 + (1/20)*-71 = 2/20 = 10%?
Quote: ParadigmDouble Zero is a re-roll/no decision so that will impact your calculation. It is an effective way to use the 20 sided die and maintain the HE of regular roulette on many of the wagers. Well done Stephen!
Ah, thank you. That explains it.
Although you will see Instant 18 at the Ravings Table Games Show this year.

Summary
Double-Hit® is a proposition bet on the outcome of two 20-sided dice rolled in a Roulette-18® game.
Roulette-18® is a dice-based version of a roulette game with a simplified layout based on the 20 possible number outcomes (0 - 18, and 00) of a die. The result of a rolled die determines the winning number.
The Double-Hit® proposition bets allows the player to bet on a single (straight) number, a two number split, or that both dice will land red/black, even/odd, or high/low. A shaker with two 20-sided dice is used for the Double-Hit® bets.
Rules
Roulette-18® Double-Hit® is played with two 20-sided die rolled in a shaker.
The faces of the die contain the numbers 1 thru 18, and two zeroes (0 and 00).
The numbers 1 thru 9 are considered “low”. The numbers 10 thru 18 are considered “high”.
The nine “even” numbers are {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18}. The nine “odd” numbers are {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17}. The rules and general dealing procedure for the game are as follows:
1. The players place their Double-Hit® bets on the Double-Hit® layout prior to the roll of the dice in the shaker.
A Double-Hit® Straight bet is a wager that one or both die will land on a selected number on the layout.
A Double-Hit® Split bet is a wager that one or both die will land on either of two selected numbers on the layout.
A Double-Hit® Double-Red/Black bet is a wager that both the die will match the selected color.
A Double-Hit® Double-Odd/Even bet is a wager that both die will land on the selected even or odd numbers.
A Double-Hit® Double-High/Low bet is a wager that both die will land on the selected high (10-18) or low (1-9) numbers.
2. A shaker containing two 20-sided dice is used to determine the outcome of the Double-Hit® bets.
3. A Double-Hit® Straight bet wins when one or both die land on the player’s selected number. The Double-Hit® Straight bet pays according to the pay table below.
4. A Double-Hit® Split bet wins when one or both die land on either of the player’s two selected numbers. The Double-Hit® Split bet pays according to the pay table below.

according to the pay table below.
6. A Double-Hit® Double-Odd/Even bet wins when both die land on the selected Odd or Even numbers. The Double-Hit® Double-Odd/Even bet pays according to the pay table below.
7. A Double-Hit® Double-High/Low bet wins when both die land on the selected High or Low numbers. The Double-Hit® Double-High/Low bet pays according to the pay table below.
Straight-up Bet

Quote: ParadigmStephen, can you merge the two games by using a clear die and white die with the clear die coming into play on the double hits while a player just wanting to play regular Roulette-18 is just betting on the white die outcome? Layout could be complicated.......I am more attracted to the single die game, so that is why I ask. Best of luck at the upcoming show.
Hi Paradigm,
Yes, the layout will be complicated and for the play-out too. It would also need a bigger table.
P.S. I do have a Side-bet (Double-Hit Straight-Up) for the single die game, see below.
The Double-Hit Straight-Up Side-bet is a proposition bet on two consecutive rolls of the dice.
The player places a bet on a single number in the Double-Hit section of the layout.
If the player hits his number on the first roll, he’s paid 12-to-1, and his bet remains in action for the second roll.
(Markers are placed on top of first-roll Double-Hit winners, to indicate they’re live for the next roll.)
If the player also hits his number on the second roll, he’s paid 120-to-1, and the original bet is returned.
All Double-Hit bets not on the winning number lose.
The house edge for the Double-Hit Straight-Up bet is calculated over all (19)(19) = 361 possible outcomes of two consecutive rolls.
When the player hits his number on two consecutive rolls, he wins a net total of 12+120 = 132 units. When the player hits his number on the first roll, but not the second, he wins a net total of 12 - 1 = 11 units. The table below lists the return for all possible outcomes of the bet, and shows a house edge of 3.32%.
As always, a 00 roll is ignored for all bet purposes.
