Practice Viejas Card Craps Game
The best way to get the feel of the Viejas craps game is to actually play it. I wrote a Java applet to show the way you record rolls, and to model the 18-slot CSM with 44 sets of dice. You can look at the last 6 rolls or so, and figure out if you want to lay 10x odds on your Don’t Pass bet. I wrote this game because I wanted to try out laying 10x odds with a CSM model before I did it in real life. The best thing about writing down the rolls is that it gives you a better view on the key cards (e.g., Aces when the point is 6) than a mechanical 6 roll window.
Click on the screenshot below to play the game. I couldn’t embed it in this WordPress.com hosted blog, because they don’t allow Java applets here 😦

Try out the game. You can start with a basic 6-roll window strategy, and go from there. I think the human is more capable of determining the risk from the key cards in the roll history, than a simple fixed 6 roll window (+1.8% player edge on the flat bet). If it plays well for you, then come on out to San Diego.

The 6-roll window strategy link is broken.
Does the simulation take into consideration the disadvantage on the Don’t Pass on the Come out roll?
Thanks – Great Site
Of course the -1.4% edge on the flat bet is accounted for. That’s why you need to lay at least 5x odds to take advantage of the count.
I’m having a hard time getting the Java game to work. I’m using Firefox on a Macbook pro. Any advice? I’m in San Diego for a while and want to try this out. However I need practice on counting, I want to be able to keep up with the dealer. Thanks, thanks for all this great info!
I have a better Flash game on the main card craps page.
Heard craps format has changed at Viejas. No CSM. Still beatable.
