The concept was easy. The admission ticket got you "$25" chips. They had "professional" dealers working all the games. There was blackjack, roulette, poker, and craps. Kristen and I started playing blackjack, but quickly lost interest because we were the only ones playing. I noticed that the craps table looked sort of popping and I thought now it would be a good chance to learn how to play craps. That turned out to be a wise choice!
Kristen and I started playing craps. The nice dealer started teaching us everything about craps. How to do the pass line, play the field, etc. Kristen had to stop playing to attend to some of her teacher duties, but I kept playing. I quickly lost all my money, but had a great time and learned something. So I asked Kristen for her bankroll. Somehow she relinquished her cash so I gave craps a second shot. This time the craps table was packed and people where having a good time. This time my luck had turned. I turned Kristen's $20 into over $140!! It was a lot of fun. At the end of the night everyone used their chips to buy tickets for raffle prizes.
The raffle contained a variety of prizes, Southwest $200 voucher, Disneyland tickets, Commuter Comfort pack (Fastrak, Noahs, and Starbucks gift cards), Oakland A's tickets and pre-game batting practice, A's stadium tour, restaurant gift certificates, etc. We used all our craps winnings to put tickets in for the Southwest voucher, A's tickets, A's stadium tour, and the commuter pack. We ended up winning the A's tickets/batting practice and commuter pack!!!
It was a great night. We won cool things and I learned craps!
