I played on them at the Memphis seminar for about 30 minutes total and shot twice. I couldn’t believe that the dice reacted so well as far as the bounce. But for me, although it is kind of fun to be able to place the bets and take them on and off because of the computer screen, I didn’t like throwing at all.

The reason is because the width of the arm rest is so much wider because of the screen and things, the throw was not a normal muscle memory throw that I have been doing for years. That width is really wide and you just can’t really get over the table.

For me, it is fun, but I won’t be playing it

@dominator  Thanks for the advice.  The reaction of the dice on the glass was my original concern, but it sounds like that doesn’t seem to be an issue  The width of the arm rest is new information and certainly will interfere with my throw since I throw very upright.  Thanks again.

We are so glad to get some in person experience on these new type of tables.  We can see where the wide arm rest will be a problem for many.  Hopefully Doc will be able to play them since he is tall and he likes to get up on his toes anyway so that he should be able to get out over the table.  When and if we play on one we will certainly let everyone know how it goes.

At least there are no chips to get in the way of the landing area.  

Hope others will post their experience as they run across these tables with the wide arm rest with the “computer” screens.  Hopefully they will not entirely take over the great game of craps.

I personally love these tables, but you MUST take the table length into consideration.  SL/SR 1 are VERY close to the wall, must closer than any position on a standard table.  If you’re practicing SL1, then you’re likely to play better from SL2 on the hybrid, you need to figure that out and see how you throw before putting serious $ into play.

The tables and limits vary from venue to venue, so be thoughtful when you play.  One interesting item is the buy.  The buy is a perfect 5% on the winning bet, I’ve not seen it different at any venue (though it used to be literally on the winning amount).  If you’re needing to double dip, it’s good to know that you’re better off buying 4,5,9,10 (if you’re double dipping after odds on PL/COME.

I prefer the Real Table and real people over the glass Table.  There are still bugs in the logic of the software like when it skips you did not put action on the person that just shot and it determined you were the next shooter.  One time the whole system skipped everyone and it locked up, that was pretty scary. 

@mrpip seems like we might have to take a hammer to it

I played one of these for the first time a few days ago at one of my local AZ casino’s.  The stick person even has a hard time getting the dice to you.  ours has several I call them speed bumps where different sections of the glass meet.  It is funny to watch them try to get all 5 dice to you when your the new shooter moving them on that glass is not an easy task.  I do like how they land ours on the ends the Glass feels like it has some stickum or something on the surface of the glass. 

It is cool how it tracks your rolls,  my best that night was 29.  I would play it again but I do prefer the action of a live game.  Funny how it will call you a hot shooter and change the color schemes.
