Recently, took a trip to Wendover with some friends even knowing that last year the casinos all posted signs on each table "No Dice Setting".
I only use 4 dice sets. Preferring the hardway with the 4’s on top and 5’s facing me. Or with the first die with the 4 up I can change the second die with a quarter turn toward me and have a 3-V set. The third set is to change the second die so the 6 is up with 5 facing me and have a 2-V set. The last set is a 3 on top with a 5 facing me and the second die is a 2 on top with the 1 facing me. My goal is to avoid the 7.
After the dice are presented I feel I am very fast at being able to pick up one die and put it down and pick up the second and put it down, and during that quick simple move can set the dice to my desired set.
Well, I learned quickly in Wendover they will allow the thrower to move or change one die. So while studying the dice sitting in front of the boxman I was able to figure out which one would be stationary and what would be the twist to the second dice to get the set I wanted. I had one dealer who said I couldn’t do that. We asked for the bit boss, who came over and told the dealer that yes I could. Just my little experience. Today is a good day for throwing!
Thank goodness for GTC, the 5 Count and following the 20 Commandments. Set44 😀 😀 😀

Those small towns can be scary. Phewww
You need to have an extraction team on speed dial if playing there.

However, hearing this story, I may just pass on that trip
If these casinos are so afraid of "dice-setting" then why do they say it doesn’t matter how you throw the dice??? … interesting

If they understood the math, they would not be afraid. Most of these guys are greedy, street thugs with hardly any education at all that get juiced in to their jobs.

that is an excellent set for out side numbers. that is the same one we used
at practice.
I am glad you had fun at Wendover, it is interesting to try to roll when you
know they dont want you to.
We are heading out as you know Friday, i told Sue i will head for Laughlin
one day, not to play but just to buy in at the trop. Peter will tell me i cant
roll, so i will just stand there waiting for some one else to play.
I understand this really not an adult thing to do, but on the other hand
i just want to see how red his face can get.
He has given me alot of trouble for doing nothing, so i will do nothing
and see if i can return the favor.
I will be nice, and as he tells me i cant roll, i will say i understand that, and i
dont want to create any problems for you, i will just stand here and wait until
some one comes along that you will allow to throw. then i will use the five
count. He will start aksing why i am not betting since i am standing there , and it is not
fair to all those that are not here if i take up a place at the table. I will tell him since my
5th heart attack, the doctor said i could play, but i have to really take it easy.
By the way can i use a chair since i have this medical problem.
😆 😆 😆 😆
that should about do it

I just say OK . ( I know its their game and they make up their own rules at times .)
One good thing that I see is happening in our favor is that there have be cuts in the pits in some casinos so the critters are not always there to bother us .
I like the second casino from the bridge across the road . I started going to Laughlin when there were 3 casinos .So have seen a lot of changes .
Good Rolling. 😀 😀

You now have 13 casinos to choose from . Some give no heat to our way of play while others do .
Hope you have a great trip .
