Electronic Craps Game Manipulation (Roll to Win / Bubble Craps)

Electronic Gaming FraudREPORTEDSkill: Intermediate to Professional

How it works

Modern electronic craps games like Roll to Win Craps and Bubble Craps have introduced new vulnerabilities. In dealer-assisted mode, Roll to Win has a single dealer terminal: the dealer hands the dice to the shooter and keys each roll’s result into it and the machine settles the electronic bets. Cheaters exploit this by: dice sliding (the table surface is a video screen, which can be smoother than felt); having the dealer miscall rolls and input incorrect totals into the keypad; and distracting the single dealer to cause incorrect outcomes to be entered.

On the record

Roll to Win Craps has been subject to multiple cheating and advantage play techniques since its inception, including dice sliding and dealer miscalling. In 2023, four men were charged with cheating over alleged dice sliding on a Roll to Win electronic craps table at The Cosmopolitan in November–December 2021; the Gaming Control Board said the group obtained $226,948.
