    Laughflin report

    Watching an 85 and 93 year old is not always condusive to playing craps… but it is interesting.

    IN the 4 days i only played 8 sessions. some of the tables were higher than i like and
    ‘they closed them early in the evening at several places. I did like the table at RS and
    Aq was a nice low table, but busy .

    Of the eight sessions i had 4 winners with average win between i-3($200-$600) times my buy in
    with a 30 or better roll each session. The four losing rolls my average loss is about $80.

    I managed lots of 4 & 10’s on a couple rolls, but was not on them right away.

    H has those frosted dice and either i was having a bad hair day or they were very sick because
    no matter what i did i seemed to lose the dice. It surely could be the grip, but i did not have
    that problem on other places.

    All in all a nice trip, we are thinking of spending 3 months each winter there so we took a few rides
    to look around.

    Yup, the two casinos you mentioned are the only two I will play at when in Laughlin but then I am short also so that does have some influence on my choices. Did you notice the dice at one of those being bigger than most casinos have? Maybe they have stopped that and gone back to smaller size. I haven’t been to Laughlin in a couple of years so I am not up on all the possible changes.

    Sounds like you had a good trip. Laughlin is always a relaxing trip in my estimation so would be a pretty good place to spend the Winters–especially with Vegas so close if you want more choices of tables , restaurants or action.

    I did not notice that the dice were larger at H’s but they have what i call frosted looking dice, there are a couple of places in Vegas that have them north of Fremont st. They seem slipery.
    On the back swing i could couple feel the dice split some so when they left my hand they stayed together ok, but they were both wobbling. I finally took a deeper grip, and that helped.

    I went back to RS and they flew ok. so for whatever reason i think it was the dice surface.. but i could be wrong
    i am sure no expert at this stuff.

    I dont miss the action of Vegas down here, i sorta like it, play a little poker take a ride in the mountains. If we
    stay awhile i will bring my boat down.

    After awhile you would find some one to play craps with. I was surprised this trip i was walking through Rs
    and there sat one of the craps players from my local casino… We played baseball together years ago and
    he loves craps, but wife wont let him take a class. But he tries to be consistant. 3 of my winning sessions
    he was there, and one he had a nice roll which helped.

    I think if we stay at Laughflin a couple months some of the guys from Wisconsin will fly out to visit.
