Hi Frank,
I need your help. A racino just opened in my area and friends are insisting that the electronic craps games are exactly the same as the casino game. I guess the mechanic arms throwing the dice does not bother them. My knowledge about craps barely goes beyond the pass and come lines. I know how video poker works in a lotto-based casino, but I am unable to explain how electronic craps works in that type of casino.
Thanks,
Pat
Dear Pat:
If the game is random and the payouts are the same as the live table game, then electronic craps is the same. Of course, in my opinion it lacks the hands-on, thrill element of players taking the dice in their own hands and trying to capture lightning in a bottle.
The payouts of the various bets work the exact same as a slot machine. The RNG controls the randomizing of the rolls.
For your letter, I am giving you a free one-month subscription to my private members-only web site at www.goldentouchcraps.com.
All the best in and out of the casinos!
