How Cyclops plays

Cyclops keeps the table energy of craps but throws the dice one at a time. Die 1 is the Setup: it sets the target. Die 2 is the Strike: it has to beat that target. Between the two throws you get one quick decision, and because Die 2 has exactly a 1-in-6 chance of each face, the odds are printed on the table the moment the Setup lands.

Round flow. Place an Eye Bet (and Double Eye if you want). Roll the Setup. Choose Press, Shield or Stand. Roll the Strike. Higher wins, lower loses, a match pushes your base bets and pays Double Eye.

Cerberus mode. A match no longer ends the round. The red die comes out and you get 10 seconds to bet High, Low or Triple Eye. Your Eye Bet, Press and Shield ride on the red die against the tied number: over wins, under loses, a third match pushes.

House Rules

Set every payout and watch the edge move. Changes apply from the next bet you place and lock while a round is in play.

Eye BetEven money is a dead-even coin flip. Anything under 1 gives the house its cut on the main line.
Double EyeWins 1 time in 6. Fair price is 5 : 1.
PressFlat pays the same whatever the Setup shows. By Setup prices it from the true odds of the Setup number, less a cut, so a 1 or 6 closes it.
ShieldThe hedge. Stake is a share of the Eye Bet. At 50% and 2 : 1 a loss nets exactly zero.
Triple EyeAt the standoff it wins 1 in 6 (fair 5 : 1). Placed before Die 1 it needs two matches, 1 in 36 (fair 35 : 1).
High / LowPriced from the true odds of the tied number, less this cut, rounded down to 0.05.
