Please list your favorite Casinos with Craps located within a 2.5 hour drive from Washington DC; Casinos close enough to do a day trip. Radius includes (WV,MD,DE).
-B
Perhaps you are aware that the 'Maryland Live' thing will be going by the 7th [10 PM the night before if you want to be in on the grand opening]. That will not be a real table, plus of course some other unknowns.
Quote: odiousgambitI also think Harrington is your best bet. Haven't run into anyone yet who liked Charles Town. We might hear from someone who goes to Dover.

I plan on checking out MD Live when I'm out there next week.
I plan on going to Harrington during the week (daytime) but it sounds like they only have 1 Craps table going during the day (I called a few times this week) and they only had 1 table going. What's the closest casino to Harrington with Craps? Just in case the table @ Harrington is too packed....I hate packed tables.
I went to Charles Town once last year. Great proximity to DC but table minimums are too high, 2x Odds, very smoky....not my kind of place.
My limited experience with Harrington is that one table during the week will be near empty at first and fills up for the afternoon. I have seen two tables going during the week, but something tells me they don't really have the dealers now to do it. Have no plans to ever go when the Bay Bridge could get backed up, so my experience is strictly weekday.

Atlantic City is too far for a day trip from Washington DC for me (Driving). Dover sounds like a good backup plan. Regarding the Bay Bridge; I have heard horror stories about it. My plan is to leave DC during the weekday around 6:45am, get to Harrington by 9:00AM (Craps opens up at 9am) and leave early afternoon to drive back down to DC to meet back up with my wife.
Any advice as to the times the Bay Bridge tends to back up with traffic?
Quote: hook3670Try one of the Philly casinos Sugarhouse, or Harrah's. Harrah's I know has a lot of tables but I do not know what kind of minimus or odds they have. Sugarhouse is smaller and may not have as many tables.
Thanks but those Philly casinos are about a 3 hour drive each way from Washington DC, I have about 5 hours each day to play. I want to make sure my time driving does not total more than my allotted time to play. May be coincidence but I tend to roll the dice better when I don't drive too far. Mental/Physical Fatigue?
I'll go to Harrington & Dover at least once. Maybe....Charles Town real early in the morning on another day....hard to turn down an hour drive to a Casino even though it sucks! I do like the Serve yourself Fountain Drinks @ Charles Town.
