Robert H. Scott III, Ph.D. professor in the Department of Economics, Finance, and Real Estate and Arthur and Dorothy Greenbaum\/Robert Ferguson\/NJAR Endowed Chair in Real Estate Policy, was recently interviewed by Color Up, a media company dedicated to the dice game of craps. In the video, \u201cBuilding a Machine to Study Dice Control<\/a>,\u201d Scott discusses strategies and validity behind throwing a die to achieve a particular outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussion is based on Scott\u2019s previous research on the topic, \u201cGolden Arm: A Probabilistic Study of Dice Control in Craps<\/a>\u201d (UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal, Vol. 22, Iss. 1, 2018) and \u201cPair-a-Dice Lost: Experiments in Dice Control<\/a>\u201d (UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal, Vol. 24, Iss. 1, 2020). \u201cGolden Arm\u201d calculates how much control a craps shooter must possess on dice outcomes to eliminate the house advantage, while \u201cPair-a-Dice Lost\u201d tests whether a custom-made dice throwing machine applying common dice control methods could produce dice rolls that differ from random.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
