The title of this game may well have been chosen to avoid
the obvious embarrassment of calling it Craps but Bug Byte'll now
probably have a lawsuit slapped on it for taking the name of a telly
programme (almost) in vain! Shame though as this is a well
presented, well implemented version of that infamous American
dice game Craps.
Gameplay is very straightforward, you simply bet on the number
which comes up when two dice are thrown though it gets a little
more complicated when you start to work out the protocol
surrounding the way in which the throw passes from player to
player.
Displayed on the screen are four players and the croupier
gathered round a craps table. There's some pretty basic
animation of the dice being thrown and some suitable comments
from the players when they win or gamble away their fortunes.
You place your bets by calling up a window that you can then use
to scroll over the table to place a bet - it's a nice touch but it'd
have been better with a diagram of the table included with the
packaging so you'd know at a glance exactly where to go on the
table to place the bet you want.
If you fancy yourself as the
Cincinatti Kid and want to
experience some real Craps
then this is the one for you.
