After a 3 year break from the casinos, I'm back with our 50th real craps game inside the Montego Bay Casino in Wendover, Nevada! Thanks to the pandemic and a new business venture, I wasn't able to get to the casinos to play craps, roulette, or slots until now. And it sure was fun!
This craps game was an average one, with some slightly longer than average rolls by the players. Some people were pressing, and some were grinding. Initially, I just watched the game for a few minutes. But, the dice were calling, so I stepped up to play.
The table had a $10 min, with a $500 max, and 10X odds. After buying in with $100, I decided to get a little aggressive on my first trip back, and kept pressing my Pass Line bets by $5 each time the point was won. I also took more aggressive odds than I normally do, but it depended on the point. 6 & 8 saw heavier odds for my Pass Line than 4 & 10. I also tried to press my Place bets when I felt it was right. (I'm not a power-presser....yet.) I'd occasionally make a Field bet, which turned out nice a few times! Eventually, I started getting paid in green ($25) chips, and that $100 grew to over $250!
Now that I was playing, the girl with the dice had a nice run, and it helped regain my confidence and betting after being away from the casinos for so long.
When I got the dice, I also had a fairly decent roll, despite being at the end of the table and tossing the dice off the table once.
But, it was the 4th player's long roll in the 20's that really helped build my stack on the chip rail!
About half way through the 4th player's long roll, I realized I had $100-$150 in green chips and over $150 in red ($5) chips. With plenty of money on the chip rail to keep me going, I pocketed 4 of the green chips. NOW, I was playing with 100% the casino's money! If I lost all the money on the chip rail, I could walk away not having lost anything, but still having a good time.
After a little bit more play, I pocketed another $100 in green chips, leaving over $150 in mixed chips still on the rail! Now, I was going to be able to walk away with a profit if I lost what was left on the rail! I pressed when I felt I should, and kept increasing the Pass Line and odds with each point won.
But, the last player in the video really turned me off from playing any further, thanks to his impatience with the dice. As soon as the stick man passed him the dice he grabbed them and tossed them before the stick man could really clear out. Obviously, the guy's impatience worked against him, as he only got 3 rolls off.
After that guy's short roll, I decided to color-up. $151 was what I had left on the rail. So, I turned that $100 into $351! For me, that's not too bad.
In all, it was a fun game and felt GREAT to be back playing craps again!
