Video craps

On our last trip to Vegas we discovered the video craps game. We found them at Orleans, Green Valley and Sunset Station. Does anyone know of any other casino that has it? Thanks!
You mean this thing?



Er, I mean this thing?



It's all over town, all over the country really. You'll find it at Binions, El Cortez, and the Plaza, among many others.
blasphemous!
Weggie, if you haven't directly seen these "Shoot To Win" Craps machines (if this is what the Original Poster meant by "Video Craps"), there is some video of it on Youtube. All you have to do once at Youtube is type in "Shoot To Win Craps." I think that there are three videos of it there.

I have personally seen "Shoot To Win" Craps at El Cortez and Plaza Casinos downtown. They do accept Slot Cards and so you can rack up some points using them.

But you have to make your bets kind of fast because I have seen that the machine only allows 20 seconds for betting.

I live on the east coast and have seen this machine at Foxwoods in Connecticut and in multiple places in Vegas.
I understand the casino's never ending search of growing there margins and bottom lines, and newbies being intimidated by a craps tables full of "A" personalities, but I see this as a cold machine, that represents the end of bullshitting with craps dealer's and high fiving with others at a craps table during a hot streak!

just venting.......weggie
The Venetian is pushing such games hard, offering incentives (sorry I forgot what they were exactly). The video aspect really takes away from the game, I believe. You may as well be at home playing.
They had a different version of the video craps game at Aqueduct in New York City. Apparently someone figured out how to beat the machine, and they were all removed.

Well, I can see why since the machines aren't paid a salary, don't get tips or any benefits and don't have paid sick days or holidays. These machines do have slot card readers and so players can earn points on them (unless the casino has some kind of restriction on that).

As a red chip better, I expect no love from the pit boss. These machines do create points, but, I' m sure, much slower than a slot. The song remains...if I play this, that, or 25c Full pay VP, the comps come.....never. That's why the multiple point day page at LVA is bookmarked, and I often start a LV day by driving past /looking at a stations casino marquee. Those 6/ $ days when playing .9954 JOB get my attention. And I did a little damage to their bottom line once. Good luck!
the great thing about the video craps game is you can actually see yourself getting points, although slowly. And the other great thing is the low minimum bet, which means you can play craps a lot longer. Try finding an empty spot at a $5 craps table in Vegas.
