If you think coding a dice in Python is hard you are complete wrong! You don’t need 800 lines to do it, 5 is more than enough.

Hi there, I had an idea for a new Craps prop bet and was trying to write some Python code that would simulate the bet, but ran into an issue. My assumption was that if you flipped the rules of a bet and you flipped the payouts of the bet the house edge on that new hypothetical bet could be expressed by simply changing the sign of the house edge on the original bet.

Welcome everybody! Today we will make a simple dice simulator from scratch. If you are just starting to code, this tutorial is for you.

If you need a simpler tutorial I suggest you to take a look at this tutorial: hello world! in Python

Lets start by opening Python. Go to Windows main menu and select IDLE.

Now, lets click File >> New file. Here is where we will write our code.

First we import the library that allows us to choose random numbers.

Python Craps Coding

Now, we generate a random number and save it in a variable. We will call it selected.
This library has a function called randint(). The randint(min number, max number) requires 2 parameters (the lowest number and the highest number between we will pick our number randomly). In this case, our dice goes between 1-6.

If we want to show our selected number, we must use print(). Your code should look like this:

If we press F5, a message will ask us to save the code and then it will start running. If everything went as expected, we should see something like this:

In my case, the random chosen number was 5. If we close the console and run the code again pressing F5, the chosen number will be different.

Nice, we already have our main engine working, now it’s time to make it look more appealing. To do that we will add some improvements:

If we run the code again, we should see a little message and the random number. Congrats! but we can improve it even more. Our code runs only once and then it close. What we need is to keep it running. To accomplish this, we will used while.

If you run this code, you will see that the dice will keep rolling as long as you press any key.
We could keep improving the code even more, but lets leave it here until another day. This example is great to start coding in python. Hope you liked it and see you soon!

Blackjack Python Program

If you have any trouble, leave me a comment.

I'm new to Python and I'm working on a craps game. I got the basic code down, but I need to simulate a total of 200 games and track the number of wins. I need a counter in my program, but I can't figure out how to do this. Here's what I have so far:
