craps games

"We even employ physics algorithms to simulate the motion of real dice in our craps games".

Can anyone help me with the translation to Spanish of 'craps games'? It is about online gaming.

cubilete

It's the cup you roll the dice with (if not using the hand itself) and also the name of the game, Mexicans use this word but apparently Cubans do also, maybe others.

juegos de dados

Por esta explicación parece que es el juego de dados por excelencia en los casinos... o al menos para los que no vamos a los casinos, pero parece el que sale siempre en las películas...

[Source: GDT http://www.granddictionnaire.com/]

A gambling game played with two dice; a first throw of seven or eleven wins, and a first throw of two, three, or twelve loses; any other first throw, to win, must be repeated before a seven is thrown.
Note(s) :
The name "craps" is an adaptation of "crabs", formerly a slang term for the lowest throw (two aces) at HAZARD from which craps developed.
Peer comment(s):

agree Graciela Carlyle : sip. Y si buscas en Google por "juego de craps" también aparece pero yo lo pondría como "de dados". El detalle es que en este juego son sólo 2 dados.

sí, además, como parece que el texto trata el cálculo de probabilidades con dados, tampoco parece importante de qué juego se trate...
