Perry Staci, a Las Vegas casino supervisor, has invented a new proposition bet forcraps players that is already being promoted at Harrah’s and at The Rio. Rumor hasit that it will also soon be on the layout at The Cannery on the North side of Vegas.This bet is a $1 minimum and $5 maximum bet that the shooter will be able to make4, 5 or 6 POINTS in a row with payoffs of 25, 250 and 1,000 to one, respectively.Passes or Craps rolls on the Come Out Roll do not count and special pucks and acustomized table layout are all part of Perry’s new addition to the PropositionBox.

“GOLDEN ARM” TESTAMENT TO WINNERS
The California Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas features a most interesting testamentto the craps players who have held the dice there for one hour or more. Almost 200hot dice players have their names and home towns featured on the display near thewalkway between The California and The Main Street Station that goes over Main Street.It is interesting to note that the vast majority of “Golden Arm” winners are fromthe state of Hawaii with very few local Las Vegans posted there. The longest knownroll of the dice was also made at The California, 3 hours and 6 minutes (undisputed),on May 28th, 1989, by Stanley Fujitake (now deceased), of Honolulu, Hawaii.

Did you ever walk into a craps pit knowing exactly how much money was in your workingbank? Did you ever decide, on the front end, how much WIN would make you happy?Too many players are so captivated by the thrill, excitement and entertainment valueof Craps that their picture of BANK to ANTICIPATED WIN becomes totally disorganizedand unreal. Nextshooter.com provides a Win-Loss tracking formwhich can be printed out to help you to better plan your next trip to the tables.
