I don't know if dice control is legit or not, but assuming it is, wouldn't it gain you much more ev in this game compared to craps?

That's what I was thinking. I would think it would be much easier to control 1 dice as opposed to 2.

Assuming dice control would result in
P(1) = P(6) and
P(2) = P(3) = P(4) = P(5)

The break even point for this game would be
P(1)/P(2) = 85.8% resulting in a ev of 0 (asuming you only bet when you roll)
in the extreme if P(1)/P(2) = 0 the ev would be 54.7% (this would last all of 5 minutes before you got the boot I imagine)

I wonder how hard it would be to get the ratio of the probability of rolling a "1" to a "2" to less than 80%.

Sort of the same way it's easier to master 0 languages than it is 1.

You can also make one-roll bets on any number. They pay 4-to-1, and stay up unless you say otherwise.

Do they give you a reacharound?

OTOH, you've got a lot more house edge to overcome. OP didn't mention whether an odds bet is offered, but I'm guessing it isn't.

No, because in this game the one Die is in a bubble and no one ever touches it.
The dealer puts a cover over top of it, hits a button which "rolls" the die 3 times. Then removes the cover to see what number is on top.

I played this game for like 5 minutes at the urging of the woman... I hated it.
The first Game he rolls a 1 and takes my money.
2nd game he rolls a 3, on his next roll he rolls a 1 and takes my money.
3rd game he gets a point, rolls 3 times and never re-rolls my number, and takes my money.

Humbug
