Newbs playing at the craps machines get their craps questions answered in two ways: Via the "Help" button, and by asking other people who are playing or observing.
If someone wanted to teach a friend to play craps and the live game looked crowded, I think they could do a very good job at one of the craps machines, then move over to the live game and put those skills to use.
Yeah, like the machine is going to tell someone if they are making stupid bets and throwing away their money. The only thing the "help" button will do is help you lose your money. I dealt the game for 17 years. I can teach someone in five minutes enough to know how to play the game and have a good time. You push the wrong button on the machine and you're screwed. A live dealer can ask "Are you sure that's what you want to do?". My job was to run a tight game, and make sure the players had a good time. A machine can do one but not the other. A good dealer is worth every dollar the casino pays them and worth every dollar the players tip them.
