This sounds like a good game. Whenever I win playing craps (I play don't pass) I tip way too much after winning sessions so this would be a nice way to combat that.

Re: New Craps Machine

It takes a hard core gambler to like a negative expectation game after you remove all the fun and excitement of real people.

Why not just figure 2% of your average total wagers per session, give that amount of money to the first beggar on the street, and then go play poker instead?

Lol why give money to a beggar? I'd rather burn my money.

I've burned a $20 bill before. Was actually quite liberating/cathartic. I was at quite an emotional low at the time though.

Re: New Craps Machine

Looks fun. It's nice to be able to earn comps on craps. So we know bellagio and MGM has it based on videos. Anyone seen them elsewhere. Any CET properties?

I've seen this machine at quite a few casinos in las vegas in the past month. in addition to the MGM, Mandalay Bay and luxor both have the machine. The mandalay bay machine does not comp points. The gold strike in jean also has it.

This seems like the worst game ever invented. I'd rather enter the shin-kicking contest in the UK for no prize money.

You do realize slot revenue (10-14% house edge) outweighs all other revenue in most casinos right? Most casino patrons are "hardcore gamblers".

And I don't think any CET properties have it in Vegas, Daniel, but I haven't been in Vegas for a few months either.

Poker-snobbery aside....

1) You can sit down at a craps machine, which is cool if you don't feel like standing up.

2) In some casinos the free odds and prop bet odds are better than their live crap games.

3) You can drink for free+tips while betting $1 instead of $5 (or whatever the live table minimum is).

4) The machines offer fractional payouts so you can, for example, place the 6 or 8 for $1 to win $1.16 instead of having to bet $6 to win $7 (or $5 to win $5).

Did the slot finder on CET site and looks like flamingo has one. If you get points like slots it's great if not it's crap,no pun intended.
