This is the biggest update in Craps Royale's history — bigger than v3.0. It comes straight from how you actually use the game: you test betting systems. Until now that meant pen, paper, spreadsheets, and hours of manual rolling. v4.0 ends that. Craps Royale now includes a full visual Strategy Builder — build any betting system out of drag-and-drop blocks, back-test it over hundreds of thousands of rolls, and then hand it the dice and watch it play your real table, hands-free.

✨ New Features

The Strategy Builder — the headline feature, and it's a big one. Open it from the main menu or right from the table:

• Build strategies with blocks — no code, no formulas. Snap together visual blocks like "on each come-out", "when the point is set", and "after each roll", then tell the game what to bet: set the Pass Line, place the inside numbers, press after a hit, regress after a win, hedge with props — anything the table allows. If/then logic, your current bets, the game state, and your bankroll are all available as blocks. A live checker reads your strategy back in plain English and flags problems before you run it.
• A library of 38 real strategies, ready to load. The systems players actually argue about, organized by category and difficulty: the 3-Point Molly, Iron Cross, 6 & 8 Regression, Martingale, Paroli, D'Alembert, Fibonacci, Oscar's Grind, Labouchère, the 5-Count, the Doey-Don't, dark-side lay systems, hop-bet hedges, and more. Load one, see exactly how it's wired, and reshape it into your own.
• Back-test over up to 200,000 rolls. The simulator runs your strategy on your real table settings — variant, odds multiple, vig, payout rounding, come-out policy, table limits. Use pure random dice, lock in a seed to reproduce the exact same run again, or feed it a predefined roll sequence to stress-test one specific scenario.
• Results you can read like a quant. Net result, return on total wagered, theoretical house edge, EV per roll, max drawdown, peak and low, shooters, points made, seven-outs — plus an interactive bankroll curve where you can zoom, pan, and hover any single roll to see which bets were working and what that throw won or lost.
• Head-to-head mode. Pick a second strategy and the simulator runs both on the same dice — same rolls, same order — and overlays the two bankroll curves. Iron Cross vs. 3-Point Molly, settled once and for all, with zero luck excuses.
• Run it LIVE on the table. Arm any strategy on the real board and watch it play: it places and clears the actual chips, rolls the dice, presses and regresses exactly as designed — while you watch the felt, your balance, and a running event log. Stop it anytime, or swap strategies mid-session.
• A guided tutorial for the builder itself. Three hands-on lessons walk you through building your first strategy, simulating it, and reading the results — right inside the builder.
• Save, export & share. Save unlimited strategies of your own, attach notes to each one, and export/import them as text — trade systems with other players.

🎨 Improvements & Polish

• The builder ships with a clean ribbon toolbar (New, Library, Save, Notes, Example, Tutorial, Copy/Paste, Export/Import) and a draggable Notes panel, so your reasoning stays attached to your strategy.
• The table now shows an instant loading skeleton while the felt builds, instead of a blank screen on slower machines.
• New store screenshots show the builder in action — check them out on the store page.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Session-end balance sweep: when a session ends, any removable bets still on the felt are returned to your balance first — so your Final Balance reflects what you'd actually walk away with, not just what was in the rack.
• The dice-distribution tooltip in Stats is now always available (it was previously hidden in some modes).

The Strategy Builder is the tool we always wanted craps to have — and it directly shapes where the game goes next, so tell us what you build with it. Good luck at the table! 🎲
