Part II: Table Game Cheating · Dice & Craps Cheating Methods

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

How it works

Modern electronic craps games like Roll to Win Craps and Bubble Craps have introduced new vulnerabilities. On Roll to Win, only one dealer operates the game, handling the stick, dice movement, calling, and keypad input, with limited supervision. 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 Bubble Craps, cheaters may exploit the machine’s button timing or use electronic devices to interfere with the random number generator or air-blown dice mechanism.
