CASINO

All

the thrills

and

excitement

of

the

tables

of Reno,

Las

Vegas,

and

Atlantic

City -but

without

some

of the

consequences

GAMES

Of' CHANCE

ARE

AS OLD

AS

CIVILIZATION

AND,

among

the games

that

fall into

that category

is

Craps.

You

can

win

a bundle

or lose

your shirt,

as many

have

learned

during

jaunts

to Reno,

Las Vegas,

or

Atlantic

City.

And it's

unlikely

that there will

ever be

a shortage

of "high

rollers"

to play

the game.

But

there is

a way

that you

can get

all the

thrills

of casino

action

tonight, without

having

to face

the music

tomorrow -

build

the

Computerized

Casino

Dice

Game -which we'll

refer

to as

Casino

Craps. Because

of

the gambling

aspect

of

this

adult game,

you're

not likely

to find

it in the

toy stores.

The game

is

referred

to as

Casino

Craps because

it's not

only

electronic

dice, but

a complete

crap -table

setup

that

keeps

track

of the "point"

that you

are shooting

for

and takes

the dice from

you

if you

throw craps.

It

does everything

that

the

dice

-table croupier

does,

and the

only

thing missing

is the

noise

of the

clicking

dice.

The rules

of the

game are simple.

Place your

bet

and get

someone

to

cover it.

Roll out

a couple of

dice

and if the

two

dice

total 2,

3, or 12, you

lose

everything

that

you've bet.

If

you throw

a seven

or eleven,

you

become

an instant winner.

If

you roll

any other

number,

that

number

then

becomes your

"point. "

You then

keep rolling

the

dice

until you

either make

your

point

(by rolling

the same

number

again)

and win,

or

throw

a seven

and lose.

You

have to

admit, your

chances

are

better

than the

lottery

and

the game

provides

a lot

of entertainment

if you

don't run

short

of cash.

At the

push of

a "roll'

button,

the

circuit generates

two

random

numbers

from

1

to 6. The

numbers

rolled

are dis-

played with

LED's

in the

form of

dice spots

at the

top of the

panel. If

the first number

rolled

is 2,

3, or 12,

the LOSE

lamp

lights. If you

should

roll a seven

or

eleven on

the first roll,

the

"win"

lamp

comes

on. Point

numbers-4,

5, 6, 8, 9,

and

10-are

displayed

by

individual

LEDs

representing

each

number

on

the front panel.

The

"point" tis stored

in

memory

until it's rolled

again

and

you win,

or you

roll

a

seven

and lose.

On

the first roll, if you

"win"

or

"lose,"

the

WIN

or LOSE

lamp

comes on

and the roll

button

is disabled so

you can

not roll

again until

the game is

reset. If you

should

roll a point

number

and roll

again and

make your

point,

the dice

are not

taken

from you.

You

can

continue shooting

even after

you have

made

your point

so you

have

to stay

alert and watch

for the POINT

and

"WIN"

lamp to

come

on.

The

circuit is

about

as close

as you

can get

to a special

computer

circuit without

using

an actual

CPU and

all the

other

specialized

support

components

associated with

a basic

computer

circuit.

In reality,

the

game

is a simple

dedicated

computer

that has

been

hardware

oriented.

What

that

means

The

casino dice game is

shown here

fully

assembled

in

a

wood

-frame enclosure. The

front panel is

laid

out

it

such a

way that the

boxes

(representing The

outliie

of

the

dicel

are positioned

just above

dice spot LEDs: the

"win -lose"

boxes

( "L" and

"W") above LED15

and LED16,

and

the

"point" boxes are

over the POINT lamps.
