Craps is 10/10 the most fun game but it's sadly quite difficult to find in UK casinos. Most places are packed out with slots/roulette/blackjack with maybe a couple three card poker/baccarat tables. I think I've only seen an active craps table at one place and they stopped doing it a few years back. I guess it's just less profitable for the house?

I got real mad playing craps a few years ago because it was my second or third time playing and as far as I could tell you threw your money on the table to get chips, and then put chips down to make bets. I had done this before with no issue, but then this time I tossed down my £50 only for the dealer to take that as a field bet (which lost lol) and take all my money :( I guess the notes may have been on the field box but no one had given any idea that would count as a bet without me clearly saying it was because exchanges seemed to be working on 'just toss your money wherever on the table' rules while bets were all using chips alone.

In this case the pit boss gave me my money back when I explained and complained about it, albeit while scowling and making me feel like I was the rear end in a top hat? Idk.

I feel like it would be easier to get away with sleight of hand outright cheating than it would to successfully master dice control to an extent that made it worth it

Can you still dump your drink all over the table?

How fast do you get thrown out if this happens, I would be so embarrassed. On a craps table too it would gently caress the whole game.

I'm heading out to Atlantic City for my first casino trip since the Before Times. Here's hoping that they still have $5 craps tables at Bally's, that was always the best thing after AC after the sleazy gay bar where I caught strep throat making out with a stripper.

Sounds like a wild night out

I went to a poker tournament last week and lmao this first timer kid just could not lose and somehow fluked his way to the final table. Never knew whether he'd won a hand till people told him, constantly asked what the blinds were despite them being up on the screen, was always loudly talking about his cards after folding despite others still being in the hand, folded aces pre flop and showed (???) vs a shove. Ended up cashing in like 5th place. I've never seen exasperation like it in all the old timers. This loving game.

I know the word 'poker' is in the thread title, but this is the craps thread.

Must admit I'd had some pints posting that, craps is good too though!
