Craps is one of the most exciting casino games. Historically, it is not popular globally, but this does not detract from its undoubted merits. Probably no other game gives visitors a wide range of vivid emotions like craps.
One of its main features is the team spirit at the table. "Right" players (if you do not know who we are, read our article on the "right" and "wrong" players in craps) sincerely cheer up the shooter because whether they can beat the casino depends on his success.
Craps Unbelievable Stories
No wonder there are many famous stories of legendary players who could control the dice, got incredibly long winning series, made large successful bets, and other unique events during the game.
We will tell the readers of Casinoz about the most interesting of them.
Craps Monster Rolls
Informally, craps monster rolls are gaming streaks with particularly long winning series. If you do not fully understand what we mean, read the game rules.
It is difficult to say which series was the most prolonged and devastating for the casino because official statistics are not displayed, and retelling stories inevitably distorts reliable data.
- So in 2005, the legend of craps, the player with the nickname Captain, made 147 rolls in a row before seven dropped in a casino. This series lasted for two hours and eighteen minutes. Many believe that this is a complete record. Also, no secret that the Captain rolled the dice more than a hundred times in a row about a year before.
- The famous Hawaiian player Stanley Fujitake, called The Golden Arm, made 118 rolls in one of the casinos in Las Vegas. His series lasted over three hours.
- There is also a story of Patricia Demauro, who played in the casino Borgata in Atlantic City. Not all belief in it, although the casino confirms that it happened. Demauro's winning series lasted from eight o'clock until half past midnight. She managed to roll the dice 154 times!
If this is true, then it is a new record. The casino is silent about how Patricia won. Demauro claims that she was at the craps table for the second time.
The authenticity of these stories can hardly be questioned because many people tell them, including eyewitnesses and direct participants. We heard about more striking cases. However, it's hard to confirm them. This may be another legend of Las Vegas, Monte Carlo, Atlantic City, and other gambling centers.
Incredible Craps W
Big wins are often in craps because some bets have high ratios (although they all have a high house edge ). Famous player Fast Eddie won one hundred dollars, after successful shots on the table, "rose" up to two hundred and fifty thousand.
But this is nothing compared to the hype that has emerged around the "man with a suitcase," who came to Binion's Horseshoe Casino in the early eighties. His name was Lee Bergstrom, and he was a native of Austin, Texas.
This wealthy and reckless man had heard that Benny Binion took bets of any size. He decided to check whether the rumors were true.
In the suitcase he had brought there was $777,000.
He was allowed to make a bet of this size. Lee chose Don't Pass. Shooter set Point, which became six, and two shots made seven. Bergstrom took the win and left the casino.
- Naturally, such a risky person could not leave it at that.
- He returned to make a bid of $590,000 and won again.
- Later he came again and won the bet of $190,000.
- Sometime later, he reappeared at the casino, and his only winning bid was $90,000.
- On his last visit, he wagered a $1 million - and lost!
Nevertheless, he left with big wins.
Should You Play Craps?
Of course, these stories inspire and attract new customers to the casino. That's why they like to talk about them. However, Casinoz recommends never losing your head and playing smart.
