I was backed off today shooting at the location South of the airport. I first played at the hook stick right not doing well.
No one was winning so the table emptied soon after my arrival. I grabbed stick left when all exited for another table.
My swing and back spin locked in and I was hitting numbers immediately. All the suits there have many years under their belt.
The oldest suit in the building took the BOX position and announces that after my play I must remove my chips and leave the table. And I can bet on any other games but not craps. I played stupid and ask the BOX to throw the dice and show me how he wanted me to throw them. They didn’t buy it.
So the dealer gives me the dice since I was still in play. I threw another beauty shot and made the point and was paid with my other bets. I played some other games and enjoyed a half price milk shake in the sports book. Sad but true. LOL

That’s too bad. I got to believe there is a little more to this story. Did you miss the back wall – do you stretch your arm into the stick man’s space? Something

@dominator I was told that both dice had to touch the wall. The BOX who sat down to replace the prior guy was the grand father of the place who spoke with authority. I was beginning a heater. The other players left the table because they kept losing. I moved to stick left and I rolled money on every roll.
My rolls were near perfect with a slight back spin. The dice died on the spot against the wall together or rolled back off together. I was relaxed. I was hitting the wall just off the corner. Let’s face it. I stuck out like a sore thumb with technique and confidence.
I was told I could bet but not shoot. I just stood there in disbelief. And no one rushed to play on the table. I just stood there by myself. Someone mumbled that I could return the next day in passing.
( I had a perfect game like this at TI in 2019 during my initial Golden Touch class and no one harassed me and they even gave me a free buffet.)
I also had a command of the table south of Freemont Street at Jerry’s $10 and we all had fun and I was not harassed for my success. I always play well there and always have fun.
I also had a good game with the Hawaiians at the home of delicious ox tail soup after returning to find another table opened that was not as hard. I was told the other four or more tables that were available before the pandemic are in the warehouse. I remember those missing tables as being bouncy but playable.
The tables at Steve Wynns are really high now. The rails are high. And $100 to play. One guy looking bored played with a $5000 by-in. I bought in with $500 thinking I was going to show off and show him how its done. I could not do it. It was too bouncy. A one hundred dollar table and they can’t give us a playable table. Even the dealers were bored.
I had chips from a prior trip to Steves casino build Bell on the strip. I can’t even remember what happened but I know I lost the chips I walked in with.
the place is a bore. Does not even come close of the good feelings I have playing at places like the Jerry’s.
One thing I did different on this trip was sleeping normal and waking up at four every day. Tables are crowded at night so it is a waste of time.
One my way to the airport I came across the family owned microbrewery behind the Wynn golf course and stopped in for dinner. Fried cod was good.
On the way out I spotted the shooter at the craps table with an open shooting position at stick right two position. I dropped action right away so I could shoot. Bouncy table like double craps. A suckers table for the tourist. A quick hundred lost for the information. I dice just would not stop rolling. The old suit and I just stared at each other when I seven out with my two COME bets lost.
Our minds were communicating without saying a word. “this table sucks, yes I know, I am for sorry”.
I stopped in next to Steves because I heard that it was a nice place. The dealers were horrible with the game at a standstill forever over bets on the hard ways. I picked up my chips and left. I feel like the casinos don’t care any more. Few dealer professionals out there. there are so many terrible tables and dealers out there.
A couple of good meals cheered me up. Lobster with home made noodles was yummy. For $20.00 up the road from China town. The coffee and breakfast at the Cali is the best.

Both dice do have to hit the backwall and bounce off, that is the rule and they are doing their job. Listen, I am not trying to say anything here but that there was other things that were going on. If the said hit the back and wall and then a customer doesn’t, they will give heat. Not all casinos, but some and they do have a job to do like we all do. In our 20 commandments we say about hitting the back wall and so many other things.
This was situation that we all hate, but all the rules need to be followed. Sorry it happened

Cotton Lob,
I know the place you mentioned, they are well known for this. The same thing happened to a good friend of mine.
With so many good tables and dealers available in that town many other great choices to make some $$.
