I'm just curious. Anyone enjoy a few hours at the table? (not talking virtual on-line crap(s)).

Some people are a bit intimidated by the game, or just do lots of side bets. But really it's not difficult and even remembering the actual roll odds isn't actually so bad, and the table crew will help with pay odds.

Maybe your state doesn't have gambling? Here in WA state we have Native N. American casinos. The place I have been a few times is called Silver Reef. Small, one craps table. Typical min $5, but they have $2 and $3 during week days,

I went yesterday for my birthday. Last time was late winter. I hate to say it, but I won $564 last time and $469 this time. I started with $100 this time....and well real quick I was down $50 or so and was ready to walk....but I battled back....wife checks on me every so often (she giving money to silly .05$ machines).

As mentioned I don't do bad pay-off side bets. I play the line and take the best big odds, when a point is picked I spread $26 or $27 across the point numbers. I usually keep the same bets, but sometimes I press on 6 or 8, (semi likely rolls) Well if 7 comes up (most likely roll), it comes up.....pure fun low-tech entertainment.

Lovely cocktail waitresses bring me bottled water, whilst I'm also entertained by the other rollers - I didn't do myself much good (maybe a couple times) But some good folks had 30 minute runs!

We started at about 6:30 and headed home at 9:30 (told the baby sitter we would be home at 10pm)....the only bummer is I would have enjoyed time alone with the wife more.
 
I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about the aftermath of eating Indian curry food

I've played some craps, but, admit being intimidated by all of the ways to bet.
Although the odds suck, I do enjoy playing roulette. I worked in Laughlin, NV for a few months in '91 and learned that by splitting some numbers, one can control 1/3rd of the wheel with 6 or 7 chips. This 'system' has only failed me a couple of times.
Of course, my idea of winning is buying 40 1$ chips and staying at the table for 2-3 hours, drinking several scotches and leaving when the chips run out. I figure if I enjoy playing and drinking, I have to be willing to pay to do it.
Sometimes, though, I double or triple the 40$. Last time I walked out with $100.00 of the Indian's money!
Two tribes have the monopoly on gaming here in New England. $17.00 buffet and $5.00 min. tables that change to $10.00 min. when they get busy. I miss the $2 & $3 dollar tables and $1.99 all you can eat buffets in Laughlin.

Yep I just play the pass line, take my max odds (which are amazingly good in the Lummi tribe's casino - Silver Reef ), but spread my $26 or $27 across the "unpicked" point numbers.

No field betting, no "hard ways", etc...these bets just don't pay worth the risk.

lloydbob1 - I wandered into an Casino similar to the one you mention near Lake Chelan/Manson. Funny thing here on the west side of the Cascades there are enough casinos that prove free enterprise and competion are a good thing!
 
Thanks.....!

Besides a casino night with the girl of my dreams, I got a new wood router kit, a new leather computer chair, some neat pictures, and a bottle of beano......
