Craps Machine
They are usually in a bank of 4 machines and each machine has its own small bubble on top of the machine with physical dice inside the bubble. These are not the typical circular bubble craps machines that are everywhere (Shoot To Win).or the newer 'stadium' craps layout. They are truly an individual craps machine with its own set of dice. 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. Whenever we do a total make-over at a Casino there is frequently used equipment available for resale. O ur inventory often includes slot machines, poker tables, craps tables, blackjack tables, roulette wheels, video poker machines, arcade games and other gaming equipment items and casino merchandise.
I played an individual craps machine ...
This is most interesting. I hope some other WoV member can give details about the machine itself.
I was going to send a 'thank you.' Then, I saw that this is your first post. Thank you. And welcome to WoV.
I played an individual craps machine at the 'Strat' the last time I was in Vegas. I just saw a Youtube video that they are now also downtown at 'The D'.

a big time hedge player and loser that claims he is a GURU and a... (lifetime winner)
ok
mentions interblock in the video (not the folks that make shoot to win craps)
as to other installs or trials in Vegas
I know of no others as of today
that can easily change

Aruze (shoot to win) craps is a 10 year old design that hasn't been updated....Interblock has been taking over. I suspect more of these single seat stations will find a home on the Strip and elsewhere. There have been rumors that comp point hustlers have been utilizing 2 terminals to rack up points on shoot to win and stadium style layouts...frustrating slot managers. I can't confirm that rumor. I've heard more excuses than I can count for their removal.
Casino floor is all about maximizing profit. These games at 1.41% house edge are not nearly as profitable as traditional slots...but are installed for diversity. Craps players bring wives, spouses, girlfriends (or boyfriends) who may partake in other higher profit games. I'm hoping to see more of these single seat stations. As noted, as of today I believe it's the Strat and D for now.

Blackjack and craps with live dealers requires open space, lights and surveillance cameras galore. Any floor plan analyst will be happy to put a 1.41% machine in a nook or cranny rather than devoting prime floor space to it,That way the need for variety is met by using sub-prime floor space somewhat distant from the primary ebb and flow corridors.

I worry about craps, especially with the proliferation of the bubble machines. Offhand the game seems bulletproof; casinos might tweak it by adding new high HE side bets, but the core game (with it's payouts) remains the same regardless of whether you're playing at the Wynn or Whiskey Pete's.
In this age of watered down pay tables, 6:5 blackjack and triple 0 roulette, however, what's to stop them from changing the line odds to 9:5, 7:5, 7:6, and changing the place odds to 5:3, 4:3, 8:7? You could argue that since craps is a game that takes some time to learn, the players will easily spot the change leading to an angry revolt, and you might be right ... but that doesn't mean they won't try.

They have already watered down the ATS bet in many casinos. It's possible. In this environment...I wouldn't be surprised with anything the casinos do to increase their hold.
Craps is a dinosaur in terms of operation costs. 2 dealers, stickman, boxman to man 1 table. If it wasn't for tradition and player outrage....the game would have been retired or they would come up with alternatives. Bubble craps.
If it was any other business product in terms of cost to operate....it would be in a museum. It stil makes money, obviously....but it's a rotary phone in a world of technology advancement and how many employees it takes to operate. Think of the 1950's when 4 guys at a gas station would surround your vehicle to pump gas, clean the windshield, check the oil and put air in your tires.
I really have no idea if craps popularity is waning or changing. Electronic craps won't help the cause of table craps. Aruze has installed 3 or 4 Roll to Win Craps tables. Traditional size table. 1 stickman. Bets are made on individual player touchscreen and the table surface is some type of proprietary LCD screen. Looks like an electronic pinball with bets 'zapping' to their numbers. Players roll regulation dice just like traditional craps....1 employee to run the game.
Not all that thrilling because the video shows a rather small, off-color screen but YMMD.
Craps -The Intimidating Table Game?
Who hasn’t walked past a craps table the first time feeling intimidation and excitement at the same time? Everybody that’s who!
Nevertheless, it doesn’t stop the curious from learning the game as quickly as possible. Novice player or not - it is for the real gambler, wanting real money action.
Learn the ins and outs and that daunting sentiment quickly disappears. It’s not like the Hollywood portrayal of high-roller James Bond types. A dress code of men in white tuxes sipping on martinis and lovely ladies blowing on their dice isn’t reality.
Come as you are…shorts, sandals, beer in hand and a stack of chips
…and the best part is, it applies to online craps or land-based casinos!
Is Craps a Hard Game to Learn?
It might seem overwhelming and confusing at first. But let’s be honest that goes for anything when not well studied. With a bit of research, you’ll beat the house and be bumping elbows with the best of players. After all, it could be you as the next craps champion
Basic 'Must Knows'
Does the roll of the dice have any impact of the game? That is one controversial question with many players having their own theories. Watch each die long enough and decide for yourself!

- 3-4-5X odds are allowed.
- To simplify the game, instead of offering both place and buy bets, I offer just one for each number. Each number pays the better odds between place and buy bets. I refer to these as 'buy bets.' They pay 7-6 on the 6 & 8, 7-5 on the 5 & 9, and 39-20 on the 4 & 10.
- Lay bets pay true odds, but player must prepay a 5% commission, based on the possible win. This works out to odds of 19-25 on the 6 & 8, 19-31 on the 5 & 9, and 19-41 on the 4 & 10.
- If the player selects 'keep bets working,' then all bets will be on for come out rolls. Otherwise, buy, hard ways, and odds on come bets will be turned off.
- If the player selects 'leave winnings bets up,' then only wins will be returned and the original wager will be re-bet. However, winning come and don't come bets are always returned. Winnings odds bets on come bets will remain up if there is a new come bet to associate them with. If the new come bet is less than the winning one, the amount of odds on the table will be the same multiple bet on the odds of the winning bet and the rest returned to the player.
- Bets may be taken down by shift-clicking.
- Put bets and taking down don't pass and don't come bets, that are already on a number, are not allowed.
To slow down the payment stage of the game, hold down the shift and control keys when you click 'roll'.
For fans of my buggy old version one, I still have it. However, I highly recommend playing this current version instead.
