If this is just vanilla sliding/fraud (distract the dealer and then slide the dice without any air time), then this is just a normal case of cheating/fraud...

However, this isn't a normal felt craps table, instead of felt it's an electronic screen.* I wonder if the they were able to get the dice to slide after landing due to the physics (coefficient of friction/restitution?) of the screen being very different from felt. If so, this may** be a little more interesting.

*I think the type of table looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w9gZAjwqZs

**I imagine it is still quite a small chance this gets more interesting. But FWIW a possible interesting scenario would be the Nevada Gaming Commission finding that they made a legal throw or something

Generally players like this target specific games for specific reasons, so I agree that there might be something to the table surface that makes it easier to slide dice.
