LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (December 18, 2020) – Aruze Gaming America, Inc. (“Aruze”) is pleased to partner with Seminole Tribe of Florida to launch the first installations of Roll to Win Craps^TM Virtual, a dealer-less version of the award-winning Roll to Win Craps^TM. Hollywood Hard Rock Casino followed by Tampa Hard Rock Casino and Immokalee Casino will be the first installs in North America.

Roll to Win Craps^TM Virtual gives players a completely new way to experience a time-honored game. By maintaining the form factor and feel of live dice craps, it still feels familiar. Roll to Win Craps^TM Virtual uses the same full-sized craps table and player stations, but becomes dealer-less by switching to virtual dice. The player designated as the shooter virtually shoots the dice by interacting with them on their terminal. The dice then shoot out across the table, animating their roll before they land. All players around the table can watch the dice as they travel down the center LED field.

Josh Collins, Vice President of Sales for Aruze Gaming America states, “We are excited to launch our new fully automated dealer-less version of Roll to Win Craps with the Seminoles. They have been a great partner and launching Roll to Win Craps Virtual with the Seminoles is a great way to kick off what we expect to be another very successful product.“

Juan Martinez, Vice President of Gaming Operations for the Seminole Tribe of Florida said, “As always, we feel Aruze has produced another winning product and we are honored to be the first casino in North America to feature the dealer-less version of this game”
