Casino at Ocean Downs

Craps Banker Loses Control of TABLE DONT GO!!!
I love the casino game of craps and my wife and I are fairly good at playing it. If you know how to play craps, you know that most people will play the Pass Line and do not play the Don’t Pass line. As you read on, here is why you don’t want to play craps at Ocean Downs. On Memorial Weekend my wife and I went to Ocean Downs because we know most of the craps dealers. Here is how the night unfolded. We both went to their newer craps table which has a prop bet called the Fire Bet. We started to roll and 3 guys, who probably had been drinking, joined the table and dropped their buy-in money directly where I was tossing the dice. That was the first sign of them not knowing the proper way to play the game. It got worse when they started playing the D’ont Come and then the D’ont Pass bets. Again as I was ready to toss the dice, they placed late bets in the field cutting across where I toss my dice. The banker said no more late bets, but they ignored her and threw their late bets down anyway. I never said a word during all this poor play and disrespect of the other players around the table. I tossed the dice for almost 5 minutes and it got even worse. Two guys decided to have a loud conversation about “never say SEVEN at the Table. Now they started putting bets in the Field area of the table, just as I tossed the dice. I still remained quiet. I continued to roll for about 15 minutes and all during my roll, these guys keep saying “You can’t say 7 at the table” but they continued to say it louder and LOUDER. After I seven’ed out and finished my turn, I said, “You guys should learn some etiquette about playing craps.” Next was my wife’s turn to roll the dice and they started with the late bets again. I told the stick person to take the dice back to the middle of the table and told the banker, “Either make the troublemakers quit disrupting the game or leave or else we will leave. So we waited for the pit boss to come over and they said Security was called. After 10 minutes of waiting, one Security person arrived. My wife felt it was being handled so she proceeded to get the dice back and take her turn. While the pit boss was talking to one of the guys, the other 2 were still doing late bets and exclaiming “Don’t say SEVEN!!!” After my wife finished her turn, we decided we were done being disrespected by the rowdy players and the uncontrolled play that was permitted by the casino staff. I told the banker, who all this time really lost control of the table, “If you want players like them that is fine, but we will NOT BE BACK!!! The banker did not maintain order and control the table, allowing rowdy players to harass and disrespect the other players at the table. This should have been addressed by all casino staff at the very start but it was handled very poorly and allowed to continue so long. So DON’T go there to play craps. The dealers do a great job but this was the worst I have ever seen in playing craps in many casinos for over 20 years.
