Thank you for the information. Can you also tell us if the game is controlled by a RNG of if there really are two unbiased, balanced dice in the dome that move independently when the floor of the machine moves around?

We have no control over how the dice move, and there is no RNG in the machine. The hold is determined in exactly the same way that the hold is determined in a live dice game, as the dice are unbiased. The results of the roll are captured via an electronic eye that feeds the information directly into the OSMS. The game hold and payback % are calculated on mathematical probabilities, just as a live game is.

Hope this helps!

I was hoping this would be the case. This means the machine is not a slot machine but is actually a craps table, only the game is run by a computer, and a machine serves as a proxy for a human throwing the dice.

Therefore, the benefit of the game for the "low limit player" is that by surrendering the throw of the dice to a machine, and by interacting with a computer and not live dealers, the low limit player can get table game payoffs at bets of much smaller dollar increments.

edited to add: but if you want to call it a "gaming device" that's okay with me. I'll accept "gaming device" as long as an RNG doesn't dictate the results of the dice bouncing around.
