Longest Roll On Craps Table
Craps offers players gambling immortality if ever a 'long roll' should happen when they are bellied up to a crap table. Your roll, Chris, might even get you a mention in the figurative Craps Hall of Fame, and it certainly is worthy of mention in this column, especially since you made some Ka-ching. Leave your Place bets on the table (remember, they’re automatically OFF on the come-out roll of a new game). Step 3: The first time any of your Place bets hit, put the winnings in your chip stack (i.e., don’t press or increase the Place bet, and don’t make any other Place bet).
I would be curious to see how much slower the time between throws gets when the shooter has been at it for some time. Veteran players will keep their bets and payouts in logical amounts to speed up play, but when everyone is betting props, or tossing chips into the middle randomly, it can be a madhouse.
That's one of the reason's I think my roll lasted closer to an hour than half hour. This casino is still new enough that some of the dealers are not that experienced (and this casino rotates people around the craps table about every 20-30 minutes-from stick to dealer on one side to time off to dealer again and so on. I had at least 2 different sticks while I was throwing), and so paying off bets takes awhile for some of them, especially some of the more complex bets and higher bets. And there were a lot of bets out. Plus some were constantly pressing some of their bets and keeping hardways up whenever I shot an easy. The box was constantly having to help one dealer (on my side) with some of his payouts. And I benefited from one dealer mistake. He left my come bets up after I had hit one point on the pass line and then rolled a seven on the next come out roll. There were so many place bets and buy bets up, and that are turned off on that roll, that he just assumed everything was turned off. I didn't notice until after my next roll, when I was about to put another come bet down and realized I already had a couple of other numbers still covered (I was the only person making come bets on that side, so I know they were mine.) By that point I decided to leave it alone instead of pointing it out, since it would have slowed up play while they tried to figure it out, and I'm superstitious enough that I didn't want to do anything to mess that roll up.

Standard procedure for most craps table dealers to rotate positions.
On stick for 20, to both bases for 20 each, break for 20, and start again. An 8 hour shift, one only deals for 6 hours.edit0003
As for your plan to take your winnings and getting aggressive this weekend, a word of warning... The L.O.A. (Law of Averages) hits back, and occassionally hits hard. Manage your bankroll,and don't chase the next, 'hot streak' into the hole.
I know some of you are not going to believe this, but this truely did happen.
Last May (May of 09, for the record) I had the dice pushed to me at around 10:30pm, and I continued to shoot until just after 12am. I did this at the Siena Casino in Reno, NV. I myself was counting and focusing on the rolls, so the only bet I had on the table was a pass line with single odds. I rolled 89 'box' numbers, with 14 'horn' numbers, sprinkled in. Amazingly, I NEVER rolled a 7, until the 7-out. (On #104) I think reaching the 100 mark, made me more nervous because I realized I was coming up on the record (which at that time was 118 by Fujitake). I'm also for certain it is a Reno record though...
yes I was setting the dice, with the 3-V set the entire time.
We knew the exact amount of time because my buddy had rolled just prior to me, and said he was going to roll for 30 minutes. That was a huge laugh, since no one could make more than 1 point for the previous hour on the table, but he did in fact, roll for 35 minutes. When he finished, he told me, 'I got my 30 minutes, you get an hour.'
As was pointed out, the length of time on my roll was skewed, since so many people were making hop bets and other idiotic $1 bets. After 30 minutes, it was taking 2 minutes to pay out after every roll, so the last 1/2hour was probably no more than 15 to 25 throws. There was a payout argument by the hop bettors after every throw. Since I went hugely positive during the roll I could not have cared less if they had argued for 5 minutes every time, but there were other players on the table who would have been just as happy to start breaking arms and legs on some of the hop bettors......
Same game, same table, lots of different emotions...

It is a record that will certainly never be broken at the Siena, since they don't have table games anymore! I hope you made your fellow players a lot of money. It takes a lot of restraint to only keep a pass line bet out there. I can respect that ... just the challenge of the roll.Longest Roll On Craps Table Top
Longest Roll On Craps Table Game
Mine may have been this past weekend. The boxman changed two times, and the stickman changed three times. That means three boxmen, and four different stickmen. Anyone know how often these break and shift changes occur so I can try to estimate the length of the roll. I also wasted very few rolls, most rolls resulted in a number being thrown. The last one, I never made my point but hit almost nothing but numbers. I had never pressed so many different number up so many times on the the same roll!
Another roll one or two evenings earlier, was with a FULL table. I was at stick left first. I was setting two different sets for about 25 mins and was having great success. I change for the first time to a 3-v and sevened out on the first throw. The guy who was staight out stick left was watching and never let me hear the end of it for changing my set! I even ran into him at another casino the next day, and what do you think he said? Hey.. your the guy who changed up and blew a great roll!!
