While I was at Plaza getting one of their new chips (and $45 in profit on top of that), I came across the "esoteric machines" section. In addition to something resembling Battleship, a couple of games caught my eye.

First, Sic Bo, with these payouts:
Chuck-a-Luck: 1 die pays 1-1, 2 pays 2-1, and 3 pays 12-1 (HE of 3.703%)
Small (10 and lower) / Large (11 and higher), with both losing on any triple, pays even money
Any specified triple (e.g. three 6s) pays 190-1
"Any triple" pays 31-1
Any specified pair pays 12-1
Any specified non-matching pair (e.g. "1-2", meaning both a 1 and a 2 show up at least once) pays 6-1
4 and 17 each pay 62-1
5 and 16 each pay 31-1
6 and 15 each pay 18-1
7 and 14 each pay 12-1
8 and 13 each pay 8-1
9 and 12 each pay 7-1
10 and 11 each pay 6-1
("What about 3 and 18?" 3 is triple 1s, and 18 is triple 6s, both of which pay 190-1)

Second, there appeared to be a combinaton of roulette and what I remember as "the airplane game." I think it worked like this:
If you make a single-number bet, the machine generates both a starting odds and a maximum odds for the bet. The odds then go up gradually, and you can decide to accept the odds at any point, but if they reach the maximum, you "bust" and the odds for the bet become 25-1.
