I think this would be a very bad thing for us if this catches on.

I wonder if the players at that table were Real crap players or the executives of casinos having some fun ? Were I live they did have a machine that you got to set the dice and roll the dice . They took it out and replaced it with one that you just hit a button to play . They also changed the point system on it since some players were making 7 Star on it .
There is a lot of posts about it .Skinny and I went round and round about this for some time . I no longer play that machine . At one time I would play it while my wife would be playing VP . Now I play with her . My longest roll on that machine was 64 Ithink and I had lots of rolls in the 40Ds and 30 Ds . It was a fun game to play since you could set the dice . I have not seen that machine in any other casino . Also ALL the players that I use to see playing that machine no longer go to that casino . I think they only play real craps any more .
The math says that when they first put that machine out there you could get to 7 Star with the doey dont system . I think Skinny did not want to do the math about getting points ,since the casino gives vary little points for craps . But in this situation it was not the casino but the program for that machine . In other words you would be loosing money on the crap system but getting points while loosing vary little money . Were in real craps they don’t give you points for that system .
They had a table at Bills for a while that you could sit at and had one stick person . I do not know how that worked out for them but it was not as fancy as this one that you posted about .
Good Rolling. 😀 🙂

Here is a video showing two (2) throws of the dice on this LED table.

In addition to being expensive to repair, a glass surface will bring massive dice sliding – an easy advantage for the shooter. A different throw to be sure. A low, openhanded, underhanded throw with no backspin. If glass is what they use, I’ll be first in line. Won’t last long.

It won’t be glass. That would be too expensive to repair. The commercial version will be a polymer or polycarbonate with a somewhat tacky, soft feel. But it is coming. A transparent cover over an LED is too much of an innovation to resist. And, it will have dice. Without dice, such a table would just be a hopped up, very expensive, bubble craps machine fit only for $1 minimums.

With dice, there will always be skill involved.

The machine that I played on you could set the dice and roll them if you set them fast enough . If not the machine would roll them . The only thing that would take more time would be if more bets were being made . I saw this machine in only 2 casinos and both got rid of them .They were replaced with the bubble type . If you set a record roll it would stay up till some one beat it or till they reboot the machine .
It was a great machine to put 40.00 into and play for Hrs.
Good Rolling. 😀 🙂

I agree Preacher that when actually tossing the dice there is a chance of a skilled throw. Looks slippery as heck though so my current toss would have to change. Good things are no late bets and hopefully no hands in layout area. Interesting but I Wouldn’t play it unless it was the only Craps table left on earth! 😀

Getagrip you should have tried the one in AZ. It was fun to play and I did make money on that 61 roll . You may have made 7 star on it .
Good Rolling off to Laughlin now 😀 🙂

Maybe I’m just getting old, but I don’t like it. I get bombarded enough by electronic screens, one of the joys of table games is that they are analog.

As far as attracting players that might be intimidated by a felt craps game, I don’t see that happening. Even with the flashy screens, the game still looks intimidating to the uninitiated. And I don’t think other players would be the type to try to explain the basics of the game to a newbie. It’s all to easy to lose your a$$ very quickly if you have no clue on a craps table.

Many seem not to remember that Bil ls gambling hall had one for quite a while before they remodeled and changed the name of that joint.
There is a huge advantage to these tables, namely NO CHIPS on the layout.The only table that I ever saw was at Bi lls and I never got to play it because it was never open while I was doing my scouting. I looked, knocked, and felt it but never was able to play it which was too bad since I believe it would have been great.
The table in the picture has a glass top??? This seems to me to be to be a bad idea from a maintenance standpoint. There will be adult beverages spilled on it which will probably be bad, not to mention dropping beer bottles, ash trays or other very hard things on it, AND a video screen that big will be expensive which will increase the cost of the table.
My question is will the increased cost of the table and it’s higher maintenance cost be offset by lower employee cost? Another thought that I have is what damage will be done to the screen and the dice if regular dice are used? If they need a different kind of dice because of the screen that may also be a good thing.
My guess is that if these are placed in casinos they will not be the fancy ones with the screen on the table and will be an electric version of a real table which just may be a very good thing.

Well the one that I use to play on was fun to play and had no problems except tec. ones .It was played a lot at first since it was like a slot . then the casino got wind of the fact that players were becoming 7 Stars and bragging about it . So like most things when they are to good they change them . They now have a machine that is like all the others in other casinos . Which by the way to get to 7 Star level you would have to put threw about 5 or 6 MIL. threw it .
I just wonder what happened to that machine . It had a screen that you could see on both sides . There were I think 5 seats on each side for players . Most of the time it was full . Not like the machine they have now . Today you may see one player playing it at best .
I no longer see the players that played it before there . I wish that another GTCer would have played it but it seems none have . I did a lot of back and forth posts with Skinny about this machine in older posts .
I do miss playing on it since real craps is not here in Az.
Good Rolling.
