CRAPS TOURNAMENTS
Bally's Casino in New Orleans is putting on a monthly craps tournament every third Wednesday and Thursday of each month.
Here's the details.
The Las Vegas Hilton $100,000 Craps Tournament is scheduled to run from March 6th through March 9th. Details here.
WHAT DOES YOUR DEALER REALLY KNOW ABOUT CRAPS?
Suppose you came up to the table, cashed in for $100 and asked the dealer where you should place your bets? Do you think that the dealer would tell you anything of value? Do you think that any dealer would tell you that you are a DUMMY for making ANY Proposition Bet in the middle of the table? The fact is that dealers are trained to take, place and pay wagers pretty much the same way as players are taught to play either by player/associates or at the "learn to play craps for free" seminars hosted, usually on slow week days, at many casinos. Do you, consequently, think that any dealer is going to even KNOW or TELL YOU what the House Advantage Percentage is on ANY wager on the table? Of course not, but you can read it yourself at NextShooter.
WHAT TO DO WITH A RUDE DEALER
Many casino dealers seem to think that you owe them a living and have a natural and nasty attitude with regard to your tipping or not tipping them. Fact is, that in today's major casino venues, dealer attitude is critical in measuring performance and dealers should be expected to entertain you as a valued customer as well as provide you professional service in placing, taking and paying off your wagers. If a dealer does not treat you right, report the lack of courtesy verbally to a floor person (suit). Odds are that the floor person/supervisor will prepare a WRITE UP on the dealer performance and a few of these will find the dealer looking elsewhere soon for gainful employment.
