VEGAS RENO TAHOE

Chicken Ranch?
 
I am trying to think of a shittier shit hole than Circus Circus. That place has been a fucking absolute dump since I was a kid. I wouldn't go there for anything. I seriously cant think of a worse place on the entire strip. You seem like a guy that would have loved to stay at the Wild Wild West. You should check it our for your future trips.

When we were kids, like 4th and 5th grade, we would ride our bikes there. I knew that place was shitty when I thought it was cool, damn near 40 years ago.
 
I always stayed at the Nugget, Good Food

Best craps I'd shoot was always at the Nugget. Many $2000 - $6000 wins there back in the day. One time they shut down the table when things got cold and everybody cashed out. They put the plastic lock box over the chips and turned off the light. LOL

Never once did the Nugget ever accuse me of 'fixing the dice'. Every other place I've ever shot has gotten me at least a stink eye warning, many times verbal.

My family knew the Gaughan family from when he was an Omaha bookie so when I was a kid we always stayed free at Union Plaza and got comped free dinners at Center Stage which overlooked Fremont St. They had a great Orange Roughy back in the day.

I was still getting free rooms and comps when Jackie Jr was running things in the 1990's.

Stayed there via recommendations from my Grandparents for a couple nights one time.

They were so pumped.
 
When I get a verbal for fixing the dice I always ask them "Are these your dice?" When they say yes I say "Then how can I fix them?"

That usually gets the Pit Boss called over. LOL

Google Maps is your friend.

That’s how I figured out how to get to/from Fair Park on the DART from McKinney. Takes less time, costs less money, and no DUI.

How would one even go about "fixing" the dice, anyway? :headscratch:

You can't if the dice are legit.

I have a routine when I throw dice that's always worked for me. It's the boxman who gets aggravated with me first. Of course he don't say shit until I get up on them a few hundred. Then the pit boss comes over and stares me down.

I think they're just trying to disrupt my flow. If they get persistent I just request what chips I have on the table back and walk.
"There's your dice. Have a nice night".

I have gotten a boxman fired before. I was with my GF at the Hard Rock in Sioux City and the manager happened to get into the elevator with us. He asked us how our stay was going? My GF and I just looked at each other and looked back at him without saying anything. He said "Uh oh what's up"? I explained the boxman had ruined my craps fun the night before by accusing me of setting the dice.
He asked what time it occurred, walked us out on the casino floor, had me show him what table, and asked what room we were staying in. He said he'd had complaints about the boxman before and that he'd review the film.
He sent a note to our room apologizing and gave us some food and drink comps. Our room was already free.

It's their house. I've been booted from a couple of Indian casinos before when I was up big. I kind of know when to call it quits now. LOL

Sure.

If I'm betting against the house and have no ON button yet, I put the dice next to each other, pick them up a couple inches and drop them. If they land on a 2,3,7,11, or 12 I repeat it until they land on a 4,5,6,8,9 or 10. Then I put them next to each other again a give 'em a nice arching float down the table. Typically one bounce before they hit the wall. I prefer an end spot at the table and never shake the dice.
Of course that first roll I want a 7 or 11. If not and I get the ON button I do the same with the dice until I get a 2,3,7,11, or 12 then I'll throw the dice.

If you know the craps bell curve it'll make some sense why I do that. If I'm betting against the house I bet the Pass line, 5,6,8,9, double 3's and double 4's. Off and on Field bets. If my ON number is a 5,6,8, or 9 I back up the Pass line. I'll shoot until I crap out or hit my ON number. If I hit my ON number I do the same process until I get my next ON number. I will press at least twice or up to 4 times. I bet a very basic game.

Watch the stick man who retrieves the dice, he does the opposite. He's always turning the dice before he slides them to you.

If I'm betting with the house I don't shoot at all. I pass the dice and keep my fucking mouth shut. Most peeps at the table have no idea you're betting against them. LOL

I'll watch a table for a few minutes before I'll play. I check how many chips people have. If it's a quiet table with very few chips I won't play it. I'll check other tables. If another is somewhat cheerful and peeps got some chips then I'll buy in. If no tables are cheerful with some chips, I'll either go get a drink in the Book for a while or bet with the house.

To sum it up, it's me picking up the dice and dropping them that aggravates the boxman. But they only say something when I'm gettin' in their ass. I give them a nod and ignore what they say until I can't ignore them anymore. i.e. They get louder and more stern. That's when the Pit Boss comes over to watch.
