Update v5.0.20260922 - Two Table Layouts, and a Builder That Follows the Point

Version 5.0 is the biggest change to the way Craps Royale looks since launch, and the biggest jump in what the Strategy Builder can do since it arrived.

The table can now be dressed two completely different ways. Your strategies can now follow whatever point is on instead of being locked to one number. And the tutorials finally move at your speed, not the engine's.

Here is everything in it.

✨ TWO TABLE LAYOUTS

Same game. Same rules. Same payouts. Two completely different boards, and you choose which one you sit at.

Craps Royale. Our layout, built like an electronic craps table: every standard bet gets its own labeled zone. Separate BUY and LAY rows on every number. Come and Don't Come cells that show you exactly where your bet travelled. Hardways and all 21 hop bets one tap away. And down the right side, the Win Conditions column: click any total from 2 to 12 and the game shows you which of your bets win, which lose, and what the roll is worth, before you throw it. This is the layout to learn on.

Classic Casino. The traditional felt, drawn the way a land based table is dressed: the number boxes carrying Place, Buy, Lay and your Come points, the big red COME, the arc of the FIELD, Big 6 and Big 8 turned on the corner, and the proposition box in the middle with the hop grid above it. If you have ever wanted to practise reading a real table before you walk up to one for the first time, this is it.

Switch whenever you like. Pick a layout on the setup screen, or change it from Settings in the middle of a session. The table redraws between rolls with everything intact: your chips, your odds, your travelled Come points, the puck sitting on the point, even the hardway counters. Nothing is taken down and nothing is paid out. Your choice is remembered for next time.

Both layouts run all three game variants, all six felt colours, every side bet and every tool in the game. Every bet that exists on a real craps table exists on both.

🎯 THE STRATEGY BUILDER: NOW IT FOLLOWS THE POINT

The biggest request since the builder shipped was simple: I do not want to write the same strategy six times, once for each point.

Now you do not have to. Every zone list in the builder starts with four new entries:

• Place the POINT
• Buy the POINT
• Lay the POINT
• Hard the POINT

Build your system once and it works on whatever number the shooter establishes. Press the point, regress the point, lay the point on the dark side, hedge a hard point, take it down when the point is made. If there is no point on, the action is skipped and the log tells you so, exactly as it behaves in the simulator. Build once, test once, run it on every shooter.

And everything else the builder already gives you is still there, in full:

• Blocks, not code. Snap together "on each come-out", "when the point is set", "after each roll", then tell the game what to bet. If and then logic, your current bets, the game state and your bankroll are all blocks.
• A checker that reads your strategy back to you in plain English and flags the problems before you run.
• 38 real strategies ready to load, from the 3-Point Molly and the Iron Cross to Martingale, Oscar's Grind, the 5-Count, the Doey-Don't and dark side lay systems. Load one, see how it is wired, make it yours.
• Three hands on lessons inside the builder that teach you the builder itself.
• A complete online reference covering every block: what it does, where it is legal, a worked example and the gotchas.

📊 SIMULATIONS THAT ACTUALLY PROVE SOMETHING

A system you have not tested is just a story you tell at the table. The simulator settles it.

• Up to 200,000 rolls, run against your real table rules: variant, odds multiple, vig, payout rounding, come-out policy and table limits.
• Lock the dice with a seed and replay the exact same shoot as many times as you want, so a change you make is the only thing that changed.
• Feed it your own roll sequence and stress test the one scenario that keeps costing you money.
• Head to head. Run two strategies on the same dice, same rolls, same order, with both bankroll curves drawn on top of each other. Iron Cross against 3-Point Molly, settled, with zero luck excuses.
• Read it like a quant. Net result, return on total wagered, theoretical house edge, EV per roll, maximum drawdown, peak and low, shooters, points made and seven-outs, all on one screen, over an interactive bankroll curve you can zoom, pan and hover roll by roll.
• Then run it live. Arm any strategy on the real board, on either layout, and watch it place the chips, roll, press and regress exactly as designed while you watch the felt and a running event log.

🎓 TUTORIALS THAT WAIT FOR YOU

A player told us the tutorial text moved faster than they could read, so they kept clicking BACK to catch up. They were right, and it was not just one lesson.

Every piece of tutorial text now waits for you. Outcomes stay on screen with the result of the roll in front of you, the dealer's narrated moves hold until you are ready, and nothing advances until you press NEXT. All 22 tutorials, start to finish, at your pace.

🎲 AT THE TABLE

• Come bets now behave exactly like the real thing. Once your Come bet has travelled to its number it is a contract bet in every phase, including the next come-out. It stays up, and only its odds ride off. It can no longer be taken down after a point is made, which is the rule you would meet at any live table.
• The user manual covers both layouts, side by side, including where every bet lives on the classic felt and which hops sit in the horn. Free and online, along with the full Strategy Builder command reference.

WHAT YOU GET, AS ALWAYS

One price. No ads. No microtransactions. No loot boxes. No daily login rewards. No energy timers. Every update since launch has been free, and this one is no different.

Keep the reports coming. The tutorial pacing, the Come bet rule and the POINT zones in the builder all exist because somebody took the time to describe exactly what they were seeing. Good luck at the table. 🎲
