Las Vegas electronic crapless craps machines

Heads-up electronic table games have been growing in popularity. With this growth, heads-up crapless craps and easy craps games can be found at some Las Vegas casinos. These games typically have lower minimum bets than the live versions. Play is required before determining maximum odds on most games, making it difficult to determine which machines permit more than double odds. A Lucky Roller side bet may be available. It is similar to the All Tall Small side bet.

Heads-up gaming is when a player bets on the machine directly without interaction from other players. These crapless craps machines have a dice bubble located at each station.

The game can be sped up by pushing the roll button. Other stations do not affect the outcome or timing of the game.

We have also seen a multiplayer crapless craps machine. This newest version allows each player to choose two of the three dice available. So, results may vary for players on the same roll. It pays double on a field 12. A Lucky Roller side bet is also available.
