Shoot to Win Craps is a new game I saw this weekend at the MGM and New York New York. http://www.aruzegaming.com/gstation/shoottowincraps.html. From what I could tell everything is the same as normal craps with 3x4x5x odds and minimum $2 bet and max $250 bet. I guess the only question is the setup of the dice rolling. As you can see from the link, there is clear cylinder in the middle with large dice and green felt. The machine starts shaking and then the shooter presses the button and the green felt base the dice are sitting on bounces real hard and then the dice land. The only thing I didn't like is you have to replace your bet after a win. So if you have a $2 pass line bet and you win, you have to place the $2 pass line bet again.
Any other information on the game would be interesting.

Shoot to Win Craps is a new game ...

The ZZ Top slot machine by Bally got me thinking: what other rock groups have slot machines? Well regardless, I did pretty well on this one, Enjoy! Mar 10, 2015 Aruze and Interblock are makers of electronic table games. They both make a Big Six wheel that are mathematically equivalent. The following tables show the bets available, the number of stops for each one, the probability of winning, and house edge. Aruze and Interblock Big Six Wheel.

Not all that 'new' since its all over town particularly in the outlying areas with smaller locals-oriented casinos.
Query: Why are they are Florida locations? When craps is banned even in Indian casinos? Same question for California casinos where about thirty casinos feature it with no 'cards' anywhere in sight. Are these simulated dice or is the determination made by the chip with the dice complying? Are the players all playing the same game??

Looks a lot like Interblock's Organic Craps. I've never played this version, but one thing I like about Organic Craps is its EXTREMELY detailed statistics screen. It would be nice if Aruze replicated this feature.

What is on the statistics screen? I don't get electronic versions of live table games unless they somehow move faster. From what I have seen from Roulette and other community electronic games (where there is some timer to get all the participating player's bets in), they don't move faster.
I don't see these games offering much over their live counterparts, but I am not a big electronic games/slots player anyway so my view is likely biased to begin with. I guess they make sense if in some jurisdictions, these versions can be played and the live versions cannot....other than that, what is the point, I must be missing something here.

Actually, at G2E a company called ZUUM had an electronic roulette game with a ball blower instead of a wheel. They claimed to be able to get the proposition rate down to between 30 and 40 seconds, which is a *lot* faster than a physical wheel -- even an automated one.

Now that technology makes sense and adds value to both the player and the house. But will those roulette players give up the fascination of watching that ball and wheel go round and round?

I played it last month at Casino MonteLago at Lake Las Vegas.
Didn't care for it.

Better than nothing, I suppose, but not by much.


Funny you should say that.
There's a similar kind of roulette game in some Mexican 'casinos' (BTW I don't regard slot parlors as casinos, but I digress). This type of game might make it here.
Would I play it? Perhaps, as in being better than nothing, and having a lower hosue edge than roulette. But for places that aren't hung up on the prescence of chips, or allowing human players to touch the dice, it seems rather lame.

On my visit to Blackhawk 2 months ago, Roulette Revolution had more players than the actual tables. A younger crowd and 2 deep at times. Saw this in 3 different casino's. With labor costs rising and the younger players cutting their teeth on video games, I can only see that part of the gambling market growing.

I have to think it is a less intimidating way to play craps for people new to the game. I would put 50 bucks in it just to play it and see how it works but it wouldn't scratch my itch in the way of craps. I probably makes more on a HA than regular craps due to the fact that most people playing this are probably not playing the don't or laying numbers.
Maybe the Wynn should just order 20 of these and call it a day.Aruze Big Wheel Strategy

Rules and Strategies for
Sic Bo


We are quite used to the game of Craps, that uses two dice. It's challenging enough to find winning strategies with two dice, considering all dice combinations. How about an interesting game that uses three dice? The combinations would be much more intriguing, wouldn't they?

I'm referring to the game called 'Sic Bo', that uses three dice on a layout that is quite different than the Craps layout. Sic Bo has been recently popular in Casino of Montreal. Sic Bo is an ancient Chinese dice game still played in many southeast Asian countries, where it's known as big and small. Sic Bo is both exciting and easy to play, and offers players a wide variety of options. Payouts range from even money up to 150 to 1.

The betting options available at Sic Bo are formed by the various combinations obtained with three dice. These wagers and their payouts are reproduced on the gaming table. Players may wager on as many combinations as desired per game. The dice are shaken by dealer, by means of a vibrating platform under a round shape glass cover. After all bets have been made, the dealer activates the dice shaker. The outcome of each of the three dice appears on the display. At the same time, the spaces corresponding to the winning combinations light up on the table. The dealer then removes all losing bets from the table, such as in roulette, and proceeds to pay all winners.

There are 8 different ways you can bet.

1) You can bet on one number, which must appear on all three dice. This is called a Three of a Kind. Obviously, you have the least chances of hitting a winning bet, as there are 216 (6 X 6 X 6) dice combinations and only one of them can give you a 1,1,1 or 2,2,2 or 3,3,3 or 4,4,4 or 5,5,5 or 6,6,6. If you do win however, it pays 150 to 1. Considering your winning chances to be 1 out of 216, this gives the casino a huge advantage.

2) You can bet on one number, which must appear on two of the three dice. This is called a Two of a Kind, such as a 1,1 or 2,2 or 3,3 or 4,4 or 5,5, or 6,6. This pays 8 to 1, although your chances of winning is 5.82%, as there are 12 ways of making such a combination.

3) You can bet that the same number from 1 to 6 will appear on all three dice, such as either a 1,1,1 or 2,2,2 or 3,3,3 or 4,4,4 or 5,5,5 or 6,6,6. This is called Any Three of a Kind and it pays 24 to 1. You have 6 times more chances to win relative to the Three of a Kind. The probability is still 6 out of 216 or about 2.78%.

4) There is an area called Small, that pays even money, where you bet that the sum of the three dice will be equal to 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 excluding a Three of a Kind. That's why the 3 (3 ones) is not a winning bet, neither are the hardways 6 and 9, which provides the casino edge.

5) Similarly, there is an area called Big, that also pays even money, where you bet that the sum of the three dice will be equal to 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17 excluding a Three of a Kind. That's why the 18 (3 sixes) is not a winning bet, neither are the hardways 12 and 15, which again provides the casino edge.

6) On the Sic Bo layout, there is a wide area with the numbers 4 to 17 written on them. Those numbers correspond to the sum of the three dice. So, you bet on a number from 4 to 17, which are the sum of all 3 dice and the payout table is as follows:

  • If the sum is 4, winning bets are paid 50 to 1;

  • If the sum is 5, winning bets are paid 30 to 1;

  • If the sum is 6, winning bets are paid 18 to 1;

  • If the sum is 7, winning bets are paid 12 to 1;

  • If the sum is 8, winning bets are paid 8 to 1;

  • If the sum is 9, winning bets are paid 6 to 1;

  • If the sum is 10, winning bets are paid 6 to 1;

  • If the sum is 11, winning bets are paid 6 to 1;

  • If the sum is 12, winning bets are paid 6 to 1;

  • If the sum is 13, winning bets are paid 8 to 1;

  • If the sum is 14, winning bets are paid 12 to 1;

  • If the sum is 15, winning bets are paid 18 to 1;

  • If the sum is 16, winning bets are paid 30 to 1;

  • If the sum is 17, winning bets are paid 50 to 1;

You can see the symmetrical pattern of payouts, depending on the dice combinations and their probability of appearance, always with an edge on the casino side, of course.

7) You can bet on two different numbers, which must appear on at least two of the three dice. This bet is called Duo, and it pays 5 to 1. The dice combinations you can bet on are: 1,2 or 1,3 or 1,4 or 1,5 or 1,6 or 2,3 or 2,4 or 2,5 or 2,6 or 3,4 or 3,5 or 3,6 or 4,5 or 4,6 or 5,6, as long as the two numbers are not the same.

8) And the last type of bet is called a simple One of a Kind, where you bet on a single number that must appear on one, two or all three dice. This is shown in the layout as the dice face 1, or 2, or 3, or 4, or 5, or 6.

The payout table of this bet depends on the following:

  • If the number you chose appears on one of the three dice, you are paid even;

  • If the number you chose appears on two of the three dice, you are paid 2 to 1;

  • If the number you chose appears on three of the three dice, you are paid 3 to 1.

The game is called Sic Bo, meaning Small Big, probably because of the type of bets that pay even - types 4 and 5 above, which could be attractive to bet using our even money bet strategies (Superior Roulette, Reward, etc.). What we need to determine is the percentage of the casino edge, in order to compare this type of bet to Baccarat or Roulette.

Taking the Small bet, we can see that half of all dice combinations will give us a 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10. If we exclude the Three of a Kind, we are excluding the 1,1,1, the 2,2,2 and the 3,3,3. Therefore, we are excluding 3 possibilities out of 108 (216/2). In other words our chances of winning is 105 out of 216 or 48.61%.

Comparing this to roulette, our chances of winning on even bets are 18 out of 37 or 48.64% on a single zero wheel and 18 out of 38 or 47.37% on a double zero wheel. So playing Sic Bo on even money bets such as Small Big is comparable to single zero roulette, the Three of a Kind decision acting as a zero.

So we can easily use any even bet strategy that we have developed for Roulette, that performs even better for single zero wheels.
