I stayed at Ameristar in Black Hawk Co this past weekend. The hotel and casino are beautiful, be sure to check it out when you're in Black Hawk. Anyway, I was playing craps with pass line and 2 come bets, 3-4-5 odds. I got up a little and played all the hard ways, $5 for me and $5 for the crew, player control. With some luck the hard four came up, and I parlayed both mine and the crew. 4 had been the point, so now on the comeout roll the dealer at my end asked working? I thought about it but said no. Well you know what happened, hard 4 on the comeout. Luck was on our side though and the very next roll was hard 4. Me and the crew took down $320. The next day some of the dealers recognized me! And there was some more luck; I played the hard ways again and this time we parlayed a $5 hard six into $500 and down. It wasn't that I was particularly generous, just got lucky but the dealers remember the big payoffs.
