TCS John Huxley to launch ’50 Cent’-branded dice game

Casino gaming technology supplier TCS John Huxley Ltd is to introduce 50 Cent Headcrack, a live table game developed with entertainer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. The game adapts “Cee-Lo”, a three-dice game also known as “Four-Five-Six”, for a casino setting, the firm said in a Tuesday press release. Each hand pits a Bank against a Shooter. Players can also place a Tie wager and a range of side bets based on particular dice combinations, according to the announcement. TCS John Huxley said the game retains Cee-Lo’s traditional rolls, including 4-5-6, while adding a dealer and a published pay table. It can be played with manually rolled dice or the supplier’s “D-i-Shaker” device. The company is offering two versions: in the ‘Single Roll Edition’, side bets are settled after each roll; in the ‘Ride the Roll Edition’, side bets remain active across multiple rolls until a “point, natural win or natural bust is established”. The gaming supplier said the game was designed to appeal to people who do not already play casino table games. TCS John Huxley’s executive chairman, Tristan Sjöberg, described the new product as an “exciting addition” to the company’s live gaming portfolio. “Working with Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson has allowed us to create something that combines strong entertainment appeal with a genuine casino game experience,” Mr Sjöberg stated. Mr Jackson was cited as saying: “For a hundred years this game lived on the corner. Now it’s got a dealer, a pay table and a seat at the table in a real casino. “That’s the whole story of this game, and it’s a story I’m proud to put my name on.” TCS John Huxley plans to demonstrate 50 Cent Headcrack at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E), being held from September 28 to October 1 in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the United States.
