I was at Santa Fe Station tonight and the craps felt now pays double on 12 for the Field. Dealer told me he thought it was all Station. Does anybody have info about others changing?

Fiesta Henderson changed to double. Pure greed.

I just don't see how the action doesn't drop by more than 50%. I don't play craps much anymore since I moved to Las Vegas, but I noticed in my years that the double on 12 field bets get virtually no action.

I don't see the triple on 12 versus double on 12 field would affect business that much at all, as most crap players seldom play the field bet.
What Stations has also done is introduce 6:5 Blackjack in a widespread fashion at their properties, also with little impact at this point.

I dealt the 6:5 BJ table tonight after UTH, - and it is a CSM table with 6:5, at Fiesta. Overkill.

I saw the Fiesta 6-5 with a $3 min. It permits the bonus bet to be included in that so you can have a $2 blackjack game that pays even money with a 5% hold bonus.

I guess I need to do a locals run for the blackjack survey. I did not notice any new 6-5 games at Santa Fe Station when I was there.
