PART 2: GAMING
The casino floor is rectangular in shape with approximately 28,000 square feet of gaming space. The live table games pit is literally a pit (two stair steps down) surrounded by railings. It forms a central rectangle and is surrounded on all sides by slot machine space. There is also a small sports book and a small poker room.
STOCKING THE TABLE GAMES: Your live pit can fit eight blackjack size tables, four on each long side of the rectangle. The previous owners already purchased anchor games for the ends. One side has a 14' aircraft carrier craps table and the other side has a 15' double-sided roulette table. What eight games will you add? [NOTE: You may remove the craps table and/or roulette table to place an additional two (or four) blackjack size tables at each anchor.]
ANCHOR 1a) Half of the craps table ANCHOR 1b) The other half of the craps table

POKER ROOM/SPORTS BOOK DILEMMA: Two small side-by-side rooms serve as the poker room (space for three tables) and the sports book.
