FORTUNE COIN "TV DICE" HAVE YOU SEEN ONE? DO YOU HAVE ONE?
« on: September 26, 2014, 05:41:23 AM »
Greetings Gang:


I am so happy to see the occasional thread flowing through our forum for these older games.  I came across some info that Fortune Coin made a "TV Dice" game.  It seems to have a Craps theme.  Does anyone have one?  Has anyone played one?  The feature glass seems a little complicated.  It also looks like it will take up to 30 coins per play.  I was told by an old timer that they were very unpopular but I am curious non theless.  I have the poker and 21 games and they both are a lot of fun when they are working.  Any information or personal experiences would be appreciated. 


Thanks so much
Ra

I saw very few TV  Dice in Las Vegas.  I believe  they didn't go over because of the (electronic)   "trust" issues.  A  true  craps player really wanted to see the physical dice in action.  There were a couple other dice games...  One was in an upright cabinet that did have 2 dice that were "tossed"  out on the playfield and then drawn back  to the front and   electronic "eyes"  read the dice and paid accordingly.  I  can't recall  right now who manufactured them.   They were short lived.  The other dice machine was a JJ Parker console dice machine.  I saw an ad in the paper one day for dice games for sale... went to a storage locker and  purchased 10 of those monsters.  Most of the  JJ Parker dice were found on bar routes. Never saw one in a "regular"  casino.  Size: approx. 5ft long, 30" deep and 40" tall.  Weighed about 300 lbs...NO Wheel casters.   Electronics were electro-mechanical.  There was a wheel inside with every possible dice roll / combination and a pair of dice in each cubby hole/section.   You could bet on anything using a dial in front lighting up the "bet"  ...inserting one to several quarters...and when finished placing bet / bets you pushed a button and the dice wheel would turn (while the wheel of dice was turning inside the machine,  there was a "clacker box"  / wooden box  that had a couple balls on piano wire would emulate the sound of a pair of dice shaking in your fist before you tossed them out on the table ! )  Anyway,  the dice  would be shot out onto the field and payouts would come out of a Large hopper on wins !  An arm would shove the dice back into the wheel and ready for the next "throw"  There was no space for the dice to "roll"on the playfield table...but rather just slid out and back.  The machines were quite amazing in design. I never saw an actual manual  or even advert for them.  They all had hand written notebooks inside giving details of the service calls / repairs.

There's a TV Dice on CL in Phoenix right now. $2,800 I think. We have the EM Reel Dice machine, but no video dice games. The EM version is a beautiful game, but confusing as heck! Each pull/spin leaves me staring at the payout glass in bewilderment as I try and figure out WHAT winning combo I hit and double checking that the payout was correct!  :arrowthruhead: :arrowthruhead:

CP and Roslyn:


Thank you both for the reply.  The game in Phoenix looks interesting however too far and too rich for my blood.  After reading the feature glass carefully it does not seem complicated however there is a lot to remember.  Roslyn I know what you mean about the Reel Dice and wondering what you just won.  That is how I feel on the rare occasion that I play one of the new games with a thousand lines and symbols.  I would love to play the TV dice but I am too far away.  Perhaps one will show up in my area and at a price that I can afford.  Since I have the poker and the 21 game I would definitely take a hard look at the TV Dice.  No interest at all in the Keno game that would complete the set.  I need a bigger basement!
