Cache Creek Craps Table
Moviemakerjjcasino's John Stathis and wife take a day trip to Cache Creek Casino in Brooks, California. One and a half hours drive from the San Francisco Bay. I generally make a few two-way hardway bets early on, just to let the dealers know I am a tipper. I have noticed very little tipping out at Cache Creek, so they really appreciate it. Another thing I have occasionally done is to set a dollar of my odds bet behind a 4 or 10 aside. If it wins, the dealers get it and the $2 payoff attached to it.

CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS
After a brief introduction to this game it seems as though it moves very deliberately and very much like a standard craps game. The only major difference is that the player (s) need to get accustomed to the turn of the RESULT card as paying attention to the result of the DICE is somewhat academic as it has NO effect on TAKE, PAY or PLACE on the table wagers. It is the TURNED CARD that determines the RESULT.
The speed and service factors of the game seem only slightly slower than on a standard craps table.
It was observed and concluded that the tossing of the dice is as much a stalling factor to allow the stickperson to manage the shuffling and rotation of the two card decks and the card turn as it is certainly not the exciting prelude to a RESULT as it is in the standard game.
The Cache Creek Casino and Hotel is a first class facility and rivals many Vegas properties in accommodations and number of table games. The gaming traffic of players was very high and measurable as witnessed on a weekday in the early afternoon.
