The Aruze 'Shoot To Win' bubble craps machines are in quite a few of the casinos. On the strip, Bellagio, Paris, Cromwell, Flamingo, Harrahs, Mirage, Treasure Island, New York - New York, Excalibur, Tropicana. MGM Grand have Aruze machines. In downtown, Golden Nugget, Four Queens have Aruze machines; Binions has Interblock 'Organic' craps.
Unlike Aruze Craps where you can have the machine shoot or have random players shoot, the Interblock machines are systematically software driven - think of Interblock as a controlled game where it's entire randomness is based of its P-RNG and bubble conditions. If you can spot a run where the P-RNG is screwing up you can make a ton of money.

Las Vegas, Jan. 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LAS VEGAS (January 29, 2019) – Luxury gaming manufacturer and electronic table game (ETG) market leader, Interblock, announced today their partnership with Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: ERI) (“Eldorado” or the “Company”). Circus Circus Reno and Silver Legacy Resort Casino will be amongst the first of over 20 Eldorado properties to install the new electronic products which will attract existing and new players alike to the next generation of gaming. Circus Circus Reno will become the first casino in North America to replace all of their live tables with an Electronic Table Pit.
John Connelly, Chief Executive Officer of Interblock, said, “The ability to demonstrate the operational efficiencies Electronic Table Games can offer, combined with its revenue generating capabilities, is only possible with the willingness to innovate. Eldorado is one of the first operators in North America to embrace this concept and completely automate one of their casino floors through Electronic Table Games. Interblock will continue to invest heavily in supporting Eldorado’s innovation.”
Utilizing technology, Eldorado is quickly automating their casinos to offer various forms of Electronic Tables Games to reduce operating expenses and drive higher handle/hold across their operations. The extent of this effort ranges from Live Stadiums, Automated Electronic Table Game Pits and Standalone products; each designed to cater to a different demographic, yet achieving the same financial results.
Anthony Carano, President and Chief Operating Officer at Eldorado Resorts, said, “We are proud to partner with Interblock as we continue to focus on innovative ways to provide our guests with dynamic, first-to-market games and continue to deliver the unbelievable experience they have come to expect from Eldorado Resorts.”
The implementation of Electronic Table Game Stadiums, combined with Standalone products, has taken an array of shapes, depending on the casino. For example, Circus Circus Reno has introduced electronic table games across the entire casino floor, while other casinos have complimented their traditional table game offering with ETGs. The flexibility of Interblock to transition between Live Electronic Table Game environments, and then migrate to a strictly automated format in non-peak hours, is an example of how technology can be used to transform the way we look at table games. This, combined with the largest product portfolio in this sector, ensures all forms of table games can be met.
Just some of the products being offered by Eldorado Resorts in an Electronic format are Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, and Baccarat in both a Live and Automated format.

This is most interesting. I hope some other WoV member can give details about the machine itself.
I was going to send a 'thank you.' Then, I saw that this is your first post. Thank you. And welcome to WoV.
Interblock Craps Machine
I played an individual craps machine at the 'Strat' the last time I was in Vegas. I just saw a Youtube video that they are now also downtown at 'The D'.
The Don’t Pass For Dummies 4.0,the video created by BigAZ Craps Guru
a big time hedge player and loser that claims he is a GURU and a... (lifetime winner)
ok
mentions interblock in the video (not the folks that make shoot to win craps)
Electronic Craps
as to other installs or trials in Vegas
I know of no others as of todaythat can easily change
McCarran!
Aruze (shoot to win) craps is a 10 year old design that hasn't been updated....Interblock has been taking over. I suspect more of these single seat stations will find a home on the Strip and elsewhere. There have been rumors that comp point hustlers have been utilizing 2 terminals to rack up points on shoot to win and stadium style layouts...frustrating slot managers. I can't confirm that rumor. I've heard more excuses than I can count for their removal.
Casino floor is all about maximizing profit. These games at 1.41% house edge are not nearly as profitable as traditional slots...but are installed for diversity. Craps players bring wives, spouses, girlfriends (or boyfriends) who may partake in other higher profit games. I'm hoping to see more of these single seat stations. As noted, as of today I believe it's the Strat and D for now.

Blackjack and craps with live dealers requires open space, lights and surveillance cameras galore. Any floor plan analyst will be happy to put a 1.41% machine in a nook or cranny rather than devoting prime floor space to it,That way the need for variety is met by using sub-prime floor space somewhat distant from the primary ebb and flow corridors.

I worry about craps, especially with the proliferation of the bubble machines. Offhand the game seems bulletproof; casinos might tweak it by adding new high HE side bets, but the core game (with it's payouts) remains the same regardless of whether you're playing at the Wynn or Whiskey Pete's.
In this age of watered down pay tables, 6:5 blackjack and triple 0 roulette, however, what's to stop them from changing the line odds to 9:5, 7:5, 7:6, and changing the place odds to 5:3, 4:3, 8:7? You could argue that since craps is a game that takes some time to learn, the players will easily spot the change leading to an angry revolt, and you might be right ... but that doesn't mean they won't try.

Interblock Craps
They have already watered down the ATS bet in many casinos. It's possible. In this environment...I wouldn't be surprised with anything the casinos do to increase their hold.Craps is a dinosaur in terms of operation costs. 2 dealers, stickman, boxman to man 1 table. If it wasn't for tradition and player outrage....the game would have been retired or they would come up with alternatives. Bubble craps.
If it was any other business product in terms of cost to operate....it would be in a museum. It stil makes money, obviously....but it's a rotary phone in a world of technology advancement and how many employees it takes to operate. Think of the 1950's when 4 guys at a gas station would surround your vehicle to pump gas, clean the windshield, check the oil and put air in your tires.
Electronic Craps Game
I really have no idea if craps popularity is waning or changing. Electronic craps won't help the cause of table craps. Aruze has installed 3 or 4 Roll to Win Craps tables. Traditional size table. 1 stickman. Bets are made on individual player touchscreen and the table surface is some type of proprietary LCD screen. Looks like an electronic pinball with bets 'zapping' to their numbers. Players roll regulation dice just like traditional craps....1 employee to run the game.Not all that thrilling because the video shows a rather small, off-color screen but YMMD.
