I LOVE shooting craps…I may not always win, but it is probably my favorite game in the casino.
I was at one of the indian casinos in Southern California yesterday, when I see A CRAPS TABLE! Now, in the most recent gaming compact law, it specifically states that the house can offer games of chance with cards, but not dice or a wheel. So I walk over and…they are playing craps with CARDS.
The pit boss explained that there were 73 cards in the shoe - 6 each A-6 and a joker. Since there is an equal probability of any of the numbered cards being dealt, it is statistically equal to throwing two six-sided dice. This site explains the game
I gotta tell you though, it just seems wrong. There is nothing like the thrill of thowing them bones. I applaud them for their ingenuity, but I think I will stick to Las Vegas for my craps.
That is all.
