Electronic Craps

Electronic Table Games

An electronic version of the dice game craps in which the dice roll may be simulated digitally (RNG-based) or conducted physically (real dice rolled in an automated tumbler or by a live shooter), with all betting conducted through electronic terminals. Electronic craps resolves many of the operational challenges of live craps — complex payout calculations, dealer training requirements, table capacity limits, and game pace — while preserving the core dice-rolling experience. The electronic format also enables craps offerings in jurisdictions where live craps tables are not permitted or where staffing constraints make live tables uneconomical.

In practice

“Bubble Craps” refers to a popular format where physical dice are contained in a transparent dome (the “bubble”) and automatically tumbled by vibration. This preserves the randomness of physical dice while eliminating the need for dealers.
