I saw a craps table in the casino with added on backwall, have anyone else seen this before?

If you have which casino did you see it at and at what time of the day??? we were actually playing the games and betting and hitting that added on backwall.

this short backwall actually makes shooting much much easier!

I've played on a shortened table at Hacienda in Boulder City and Pioneer Club in Laughlin. Only one dealer is required to run the game, from the base position for payouts and also controlling the stick.

It's a common practice in some casinos "Specially in Laughlin", you can also find them around Vegas in the off hours. For most players they are actually harder to shoot on. That short little distance can fool you!

I hope by easier you mean not as far to throw. I like those tables because at this time 14 ft is a long throw and would help the dealers in not having to remind me to hit the back wall, and me the aggravation of having them tell me as if it made a difference.

I have played at tubs in Casino Royal and the former Boardwalk. I have played at the half tables at Club Fortune and at the Hacienda.

The most unusual version I have ever encountered was at the Magnolia Bluffs casino in Natchez, MS. When I posted my souvenir chip in the Casino Chip of the Day thread, I described the experience this way:
Quote: Doc

As I entered the pit area, I could see that the craps table toward the back was not staffed. I started playing $5 blackjack at a table up front and was probably down 3 or 4 hands straight when I mentioned to the dealer that I had really wanted to play craps. He said, "There's a dealer back there; check it out."

I walked back and confirmed my initial impression that there were no players or dealers at the table, and I was thoroughly confused. Then I noticed an idle dealer standing at the adjacent small table that I had completely ignored as I walked by. It was a half-layout craps table, and when I referred to it as a tub, the supervisor said, "It's not a tub; it's a half table." I'm not really sure about the distinction, but it was staffed by a single dealer (who was still trying to learn the game), and they had stools that permitted players to sit around the table. The supervisor confirmed that it was a converted roulette table, but I have no idea where they got it. I found that I could not throw the dice while seated, so I played it as a stand-up game. Most of the time, I was the only player at the table. I assume that they open the full table if there are enough players to justify staffing it.

Have played half table at Sands Regency in Reno on a early afternoon Friday ($5 min) and Gold Dust West in Carson City around 10PM on a weekday ($1 min). Also some other places too but can't remember now. I don't think it's common but not that rare either.

Barton's in Jackpot, NV. I forget the exact situation, but it was something along the lines of them taking a dealer from an empty blackjack table and having him be my sole craps dealer.

Is that to see how much money they can lose on them? I've seen way to many GTC shooters step up to those tables only to walk away broke! They can't believe that a little table like that is beating them, and they are going to prove that they can win. Way to funny if you ask me!

Yeah, that's where I saw it too. Of course, when I was there, another dealer was sitting by the closed portion, just chatting with the working dealer. This, while the half-table was full, and some hot girls wandered by and wanted to play, but couldn't find room. :(

It basically turns the table into a "tub" craps game that can be run by minimum one dealer, maximum two dealers. The "tub" variants are usually found on smaller cruise ships.
