It does seem that whoever made that rule ( and it was probably someone in management that doesn’t really understand th Craps game) was very short sighted. It seems logical to take the dice away from a person who is taking a long time, after a couple of warnings, and pass them to the next shooter. This could be done politely enough. They could also add a sign if they needed to and say no holding the dice for over X number of seconds. That would take care of the random rollers that like to school the dice or kiss the dice or whatever. I would guess they will make a change somehow once they see the revenues dropping off from their new rule. Hope so for your sake. 🙂

So many casinos do things like this that wind up having the casino shoot itself in the foot. We still don’t understand why they get so upset when a player has one dice miss the back back by rolling to the side and hitting the side wall or in the mixing bowl. A random roll at best. And the roller is hitting the back wall over 95% of the time. A short roll will occur with the best of dice controllers from time to time.

We know that speed is important as the casino’s need as many decisions per hour so that they get to get to the "long run" quicker and the long term casino edge will offset any short term roll a given roller might have. For 90% of the players who wing the dice down the table—and this just might include a "wanta be" dice controller who doesn’t know what he is doing–so why sweat a few decent rolls. If they don’t have some winners from time to time nobody would come to the casino to simply lose money every time. Doesn’t make sense.

Another thing, why get on dice controllers as if we are cheating and their worse enemy. We are just like a little old lady who comes into the play the slots,we both come to the casino with one purpose in mind—both of us came to win money. Winning money is not only the most fun, but the name of the game.

It is just bean counters …….
Go there and just toss the dice up and down till you get your set just for a little fun and see what they say then .I see players set the dice all the time to then shake them just before their throw .Or they throw them again-est the wall a couple times before choosing the 2 that they want .
It is their GAME .
How about that it does take a longer time to pay off non GTCers .
The pay outs take longer then setting . But I may be wrong about that ?
Good Rolling. 🙂 🙂

stealth setting, the art of setting without anyone knowing it, it use to be taught in the advanced class

Stealth setting is still part of the Advanced Class.

I think the no setting the dice rule or law is a small problem or not the problem at all. Some folks make a mountain out of a mole hill.
Go to your local casino and ask them to give you the dice the way you want them set, they probably will do it without any problem.

I know the sharp dealers at our local casino give me the dice with the numbers I want on top 75% of the time. they are sharp and want to keep the game and tips coming in.

Lastly I think you did right thing, take your game and money to a different casino. That is what we did Northeast, when our favorite casino changed the tables everyone left. The casino used to have 16 tables and always full are now only 11 and most are closed on a daily basis.

I remember one pit boss telling the stick to just send them out to me as is, rather than have the stick try to send them to me preset. Said I would set the faster than the stick could. Lol

Knee jerk reaction ……. sounds like our government!
