- How To Play Electronic Craps Game
On Tuesday, October 9, 2018, @MeltzVegas was at the 2018 G2Eshow and spotted this. A new electronic craps table. Always on the ball, he made a video and posted it on Twitter.
Electronic craps hand held game. Condition is 'New'. Shipped with USPS First Class. Free the online Craps casino game by the Wizard of Odds, play for real money online from a selection of the best casino bonuses for craps players. š§ Online Craps (Play Stress-Free) - Wizard of Odds. Video craps is a term often used to refer to the electronic craps machine available in some land-based casinos. Sometimes, it is also used to refer to online games. Often, these games come under a lot of scrutiny for being unfair. Many of these claims are based on nothing more than the fact that you canāt throw the dice for yourself.
And hereās a picture of the betting terminal:
Later, @Eric_Ramsey tweeted this: There was a lot of cool shit at #G2E2018, and this was by far one of the coolest things I saw.
Reaction
Hereās some of the reaction on Twitter:
Vegas Confessions (@Vegasconfesspod) asked: Could this be the future of craps?
Cousin Vitoās Casino(@VitosCasino) chimed in: The future of low limit craps? Itās basically a 16 person stadium gaming table for craps. One mindless dealer, low limits, and an arbitrary countdown clockā¦ Iād try at a $5 minimum.

@Siedlecki_B: I saw this at the convention. A guy walked up, threw the dice in an odd manner (essentially gliding them across the glass table), hit 11, got the dice back, same throwing motion and got 11 again. Looked the dealer and said āSee your flaw here?ā And walked away. Total savage move.
@Snickers99poker: Not me. Iām a low roller and Iād play a $10 ārealā table before Iād play a $5 electric table. Or not play at all. Takes all the fun out. Kills jobs. Can you place odds?
Cousin Vitoās Casino (@VitosCasino): If the payouts are all the same and lets say only $15 or $25 tables are openā¦ would you play the $5 electronic table?
@_Absolute0: Not play. I can even see myself walking up and playing dumb and then āfinding outā there wasnāt a human dealer and walking away. Just to dickishly get my point across.
@Snickers99poker: Easy choice for me..not play. $15 too high for me & I donāt want to play a video game.
Vital Vegas (@VitalVegas): I gotta say, if this every becomes prevalent at Vegas casinos, it will fundamentally change the way I view and interact with Las Vegas. I probably wouldnāt live here or write about it anymore. Almost happened with liquor brand swapping, but I suspect Iād be done. Abomination.
@russmaloney: I canāt see the long-term benefit. Even if experienced players are okay with it, human craps dealers actually help new players make correct bets, inform on side bets, etc. Whatever money the casinos save in not having dealers they may lose in not getting new players.
@gamblinmcgoo: The action seems too slow with the count down to no more bets. A good crew can keep the dice moving at twice the speed.
Job Loss?
On the possibility of craps dealers losing their jobs (well, letās not kid ourselves, there will be jobs lostā¦itās not a possibility):
@Snickers99poker: And Iām assuming any dealer can run that table so you lose the personality of craps dealers..the interaction between you and them as knowledgeable craps people and nobody to ask questions to (like a first time player).
@funnykeithlyle: Yep. Donāt even need to know the game. Just give the shooter the dice. No need for supervisor. And no tips. People will play it because it has the same feel as a real dice game. Plus, no one gets in the way with late bets.
Faces And Aces Las Vegas (@FacesAndAcesLV): Sadly it will mean fewer jobs, and human interaction is a big part of the Vegas experience.
@_Absolute0: This. I play just as much for the human interaction as actual gambling. And working in the service industry am sensitive to the fact a real person is being replaced. I refuse to even use self checkout at the grocery. Just because a job can be automated doesnāt mean it should be.
Faces And Aces Las Vegas (@FacesAndAcesLV): The strip is moving towards automation (valet ticket machine, self check in kisoks, robot bartenders, virtual blackjack, etc). Ultimately, it depends on the popularity of the machine, but yeah, I can see this as the future of Vegas.
@Snickers99poker: Part of the problem is most casinos have shareholders to please. So theyāll go for the short term boost to the quarterly numbers and worry later. Gotta keep that stock price up!
Not The First
Electronic Craps Casino Game
And this isnāt the first attempt at electronic craps:
@gamblinmcgoo: They had almost exactly the same setup at Billās about 8 years ago. Real table with felt, real dice and video terminals. It was frustrating to play as the action was slow and one dealer handling buy ins and cash out. Lasted about a year.
We are not a fan. As mentioned, handling and making bets with real chips, plus the interaction with actual craps dealers, is part of why we love craps so much. Reminds us of those electronic poker tables they tried before.
We felt the same about these. It looks cool and everything, but we go to the casino to handle the cards and play with real chips. Does any casino still have these?
