I was over at resorts world casino at the Aquaduct racetrack in NY the other day and had my first experience with Interblock's electronic Crap/Sicbo/Bac interface. I have to say that I enjoyed it more than I thought i would...

I had one MAJOR issue that i noticed while playing (I apologize if there was another thread on this). They do not distinguish different chip values by color. For example my friend accidentally hit the $25 chip denomination while thinking he was on the $5. He had a $10 pass bet with odds and unknowingly had a $50 come (this was the result of placing/clicking two chips on the come after the established point.) We had no idea until after the dice were rolled and the bets were locked in. the $5/$25 were both yellow in color!!!

I'm sure it wasn't there intention, but it almost seems that they did this to facilitate player mistakes that clearly can easily go unrecognized. I Was very unhappy to see that a company would do such a clear programming mistake that can enhance players ability to make mistakes and throw away money. Of course a player would be happy if they won while making the mistake, but that is entirely beside the point.

Thoughts?

Any chance everyone uses their own chip color, and there's a big display of everyone's bets on the entire layout?

I.E. Kinda like the way Roulette uses color to distinguish each player's chips?

I admit, it's a rather lame excuse, but that might be it.

nah, everyone has there own individual screen (no one elses bets are visible). its like lplaying at home on your own comp, but it actually bounces around three (two used for craps) big dice in a main unit visible to players.

I'm curious if he won or not!

I know at the shufflemaster BJ machines, if you accidentally hit the wrong button, and bet too much, there's no going back.

i love that game at resorts world in NYC.
never noticed chip color. i always set my bet amount to $5 and leave it there.

i doubt that they do it on purpose.

the shufflemaster electronic craps in Vegas has color coded chips (i think) and i know i accidently bet $25 on come not once, but twice on different days.
i was like damn.. but bet max odds anyway ($125). both hit!!! :D

unfortunately he lost. Im fine with accidentally pressing the wrong button and losing, that happens... but at least they prob have the chips being different colors, so if there is time you can correct the mistake. on their interface unless you look very closely at the numbers you cant tell the difference between a 5 dollar/25 dollar or id believe 100 wager... I call Shenanegans on that!!!

haha good work on winning with the big accidental bet! I like it also, i just think that the lack of a color difference is to sneaky for my taste. Soon enough live tables will be allowed anyway...

Any guess to when the live tables will arrive? My parents live 15 minutes away from the Aqueduct Racino in Brooklyn, NY. I'd love to visit NYC from Florida more often and have Live Craps tables to play on instead of driving to Bethlehem Sands or all the way to AC.

table games will not arrive until 2014 at the earliest.
the next legislature has to approve it and then it has to pass a voter referendum (november 2013).

It seems that next year table games will be fully approved in NY.
