I’ve always been a frugal gambler. This means that I’m always on the lookout for ways to play my favorite table games (Craps definitely tops that list) on the cheap. While I generally don’t care for electronic versions of games like blackjack and roulette, the automated machine-played version of craps adds just enough realism to keep things interesting. Bubble craps is also a great way for a new player to get comfortable with the game without the pressure of playing at a live table. Recently, bubble craps has made its way to Atlantic City, so get your dice shooting button ready.
Electronic craps won't help the cause of table craps. Aruze has installed 3 or 4 Roll to Win Craps tables. Traditional size table. Bets are made on individual player touchscreen and the table surface is some type of proprietary LCD screen. JackpotCity is an online casino that was launched in 1998, is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority and is eCOGRA-certified. This casino offers players more than 500 casino games, to be Electronic Craps Machine played online with safe and secure banking options and 24/7 support via email and live chat. The electronic craps machine that I see most often is Organic Craps from Interblock. Casinos install this machine when they're prohibited from having craps tables with live dealers or when they want to offer an additional craps table without the cost of live dealers. The following is from the Interblock website. I’ve enjoyed the electronic roulette systems a bit more actually. I did enjoy Rapid Craps when Bill’s had it, but I couldn’t find it at the Quad last week. Minimums on some of the machines are a bit deceptive, eg) TI has a stated $1 minimum, but pass/don’t pass bets are actually $5. The machines @ NYNY, Red Rock, and Orleans true $1/$2.
What is Bubble Craps?
From my trips to Las Vegas in recent years, there are a variety of electronic versions of craps. All of them revolve around a central plastic dome, or “bubble,” which contain the dice that players get to shoot. It doesn’t convey the same sense of camaraderie that you’ll see at a live table, but it’s still great fun. It also has the distinct advantage of being very low minimums.
At its core, the game runs just like a regular craps table. You’ll sit at an electronic terminal that allows for all of the same bets as its live counterpart. If you’re not sure about the win conditions of a bet, there is an information button that you can press to display the rules, odds, etc. This makes for a great educational experience if you’re trying to bring someone new into the game.
Bubble Craps in Atlantic City
Bubble craps has been around in Las Vegas for many years now. My hope is that you’d see more of a proliferation of the game in Atlantic City. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case yet, though casinos are always looking for new ways to bring in players, so you may see more of them as time goes on. Currently there is only one place to play bubble craps in Atlantic City: The Wild Wild West Casino.
Unlike the “Shoot to Win” Craps machines that you see in Las Vegas, the bubble craps at Wild Wild West operates a little differently. A shooting player is never designated, for example. Instead, a timer starts after each roll, and you’ll have to place your bets before the timer ends. Once the timer expires, the dice will automatically “pop” and roll, with the lucky winners collecting their payouts (hopefully).
