| This was the first time I ever played craps. My first experience was great. I had heard there was a way to
gain free entry to a craps tournament, and so I went to the Hilton to learn more about it. I merely had to bet and win a specific bet for a specific amount, and I would get a five hundred dollar entry into the tournament. I made the bet several times before I won. While I was pointing out that I had won that bet and wanted the entry form, the same bet won again. That bet pays big, so that I ended up winning over a hundred and forty dollars. I continued to play
for awhile and walked away with a profit of $99, as well as the entry to September's Craps Tournament. I played several sessions at different casinos during this trip, some as a winner and in some I lost. I came out a winner overall, with a profit of one whole dollar, plus of course the tourney entry. I very much enjoy this game. I never like losing, and so I always limit my bankroll to forty or fifty dollars. I have always come away from Vegas a winner, though
as you can tell from my winning this trip, not always by much. Craps is a social game, and I guess that is what I like about it. Everyone is rooting for each other, because we all want the same roll on the dice. At one table, I ended up being next to two drunk women, and they were no fun. I simply walked away from that table, turned around and joined the next table. These are my cryptic notes from the trip: crapsHilton+$99, stardust-$53,
