Hey everyone, I'm looking for $5 craps in Pennsylvania. I'm from northern NJ, and would not be opposed to making a daytrip (arrive at 10:30-Noonish, maybe) if that would be any help.

Thanks!

Sands in Bethlehem often has $5 craps early in the day. And it's an easy ride (I'm also from northern NJ).

It's a little far away from NJ, but The Meadows Racino, about 20 miles south of Pittsburgh off I-79, had $5 craps last Saturday around lunchtime. That's my first visit there, so I cannot tell you how often $5 minimum is offered.

They almost always have a $5 game.

"A little far..." ???
How about 300 miles past the NJ state line!

Hollywood (Harrisburg-Hershey) also has one at times in the morning and even on slow nights.

Yea, but it's GUARANTEED $5 Craps Teddy!!!

That's easily worth the extra coins spent on Gas, Tolls, and mileage on your car!

If you're going that far, Lady Luck Nemacolin also has a $5 game, but you have to pay $10 (You get it in a gift card back) to get in. You could also get a membership, but there's not much of a point.

Lady Luck may also still be running a $100 slot loss rebate. You get $50 immediately and the other $50 a week later.

Wheeling Island Hotel, Casino, Racetrack just over in WV would also be $5 in the afternoon. If you sign up for a Player's Club card you get $20 Free Play.

I was at the Sands yesterday, New Year's Eve. Got there at about 1:00, left at 10:00 (I wanted to be home before midnight, before all the cops and drunks hit the road...)

First off, they either added a table or took one away. The high limit table used to be on the end, at 90° to the other tables. Now it's just one of the six tables in the pit.

At 1:00, four tables were open: $10, $10, $15 and $25. At 10:00, the $25 was up to $50, and the other three were all $25. The other two tables were still closed. That's the part that shocked me. The place was packed. The craps tables were fairly full, but they still had two closed tables.
