Table Games Dying in Nevada?

Quote: RaleighCraps

I will probably stop going to casinos, if the craps tables are removed.

Same here. I didn't set foot in the local casino until they put in craps tables.

Maybe we need to start an "Adopt a Shooter" program, with each player adopting and familiarizing three new players with the game. I have three coworkers to whom I taught the game, and they now find sitting at a blackjack table dull.

Right betting, wrong betting we don't care, just don't let the layouts disappear. Do your part...Adopt a Shooter today!

I LIKE IT !

The ONLY problem with the game is how much Bankroll is required. You can buy into a $5 table for $200, but the outcome is usually going to be a fast bust. That same $200 on a dull BJ table can last for a while.

Here is a good video to show someone (still from the Sahara but about 6 years old). You can use it as a basis for discussion. Explain what the narrator is not telling you about some of the bets (i.e. like the Big 6 and Big 8).

Warning: That craps video above started out for me at full volume!

I like the players club videos about craps mainly due to the hot blonde they have on it but think the best introduction to craps is at Easy.Vegas wherein the term 'bonus round' from the world of slot machines is used to simplify the explanation. The worst scheme to create a multitude of new craps players was the Vegas pundit who suggested starting a war since no serviceman got out of World War Two without having learned craps. The best layout guide used to be the education page at the Pioneer in Laughlin but they took it down some time ago.

Locals Gaming is a marketing company trying to gain leverage in steering gamblers to certain casinos and it may be that such companies will be doing the training that casinos themselves should be doing.

As to the buy in amount... yeah two or three hundred is about the minimum buy in that is reasonable at a low limits table and it can indeed disappear real fast but at least we are not at some 12 percent house edge slot machine plinking in three quarters and pressing a little red button.
