- We tell you where to find the $10 craps tables. Also, the $1 bubble craps and video roulette machines as we discuss an overall GREAT week in Vegas (with one exception).
Never fun when a casino sweats the money. But I love these trip reports! Great video thank you!
Thanks! And thank you for watching!
I had the same experience at South Point! I am through with them, also.
Yes sir. On the other end of the spectrum, the dealers at Treasure Island were great! I'll start playing there more, along with Boulder Station.
At SP I was shooting from stick left 1 and the box man said I was releasing too far forward. He said I wasn't allowed to release anywhere into the center section. This happened on a few different occasions. No other casino has ever called me on this. Thank you for posting this. This confirms it is not only me that has had problems with SP box men.
Ditto. Southpoint is not a craps Casino for craps players it's just a local casino and the sad thing is I'm a good Tipper and I still got treated like garbage at South Point where I have never really had any experience like that
It's definitely not just you ktnotter! I'm getting lots of comments on bad customer service at South Point.
I’ve had that happen to me many years ago on Fremont Street. I think maybe El Cortez. Recently had a stick man at 4 Queens insist “ your shots must hit the middle of the back wall” “ we don’t allow corner shots “. Funny thing was my dice were bouncing into the corner sometimes and I was hitting the table and wall about half way between middle of the wall and the hook. That was the dumbest heat I have had so far. As they say “anything can and will happen in a craps game”
They freak out when you don’t hit the back wall 😂
They sure do at SP!
I live in Vegas and go to the buffet at Southpoint frequently. I used to play at the craps tables but quickly figured out that they are poorly trained because they treat people like crap for the most part. I can also tell you that Chris the box man was not having a bad day, he is an ahole. I saw him get into a shouting match with a dude in a wheel chair and then have security kick him out. He is rude as hell. Not to be outdone their security people think they are cops and treat people like criminals. I left my cell phone on the table in the buffet and our server which we have known for many years went to hand it to the manager which also knows us. Within minutes I came back to pick it up and security was there but the manager still had the phone. She looked at me and said, "you left your phone" as she stretched it out to hand it to me. The idiot security guard grabbed it from her hand and said I have to prove it is mine. So I said give it to me and I will show you my ID. Instead of giving it to me he opens the wallet phone cover and starts to rifle through it. I blew a gasket and said WTF are you doing, you have zero right to look through my phone when I have clearly told you it is mine and the manager has verified that it is mine. I then just snatched it from his hand and told the manager to get a supervisor so I can file a complaint. Bright side was an apology and this idiot got suspended for a week. Only because I enjoy the buffet do I go there. They are jerks all around. Except for the people in the buffet they are very nice.
I guess the silver lining is that we only had to put up with Chris for one time and Chris has to live with Chris 24/7. :)
Thanks for watching Eric, and for your comment.
Lol, My sister in-law is a black jack dealer there. Wonder if you had any bad experiences with her. Her name is Jenny or Jennifer. Not sure what is on her name tag.
Great after action report of your Vegas trip. Incredible amount of detail. Plus it put me right to sleep in no time. 😴😴😴
LOL! Just here to serve Martin! ZZZZZ...
Thanks for the trip report. We go to Vegas 4 times a year but we cover one quarter as many casinos as you did per our trip. Agree won't visit South Point if Box person is picky about dice tossing and setting. Starting last year we been playing at the off strip casinos where the tables are $ 10- 15 minimum instead of $25 & $50 on the strip. Vegas is getting expensive.
I prefer off strip properties too. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You gotta know where to look, south end of the strip has the best minimums..Excalibur is always $15, OYO is 5-10. Tropicana is 10-15. ParkMgm is 15 at times mostly before the evenings. Luxor 15-20.
Wow, you guys work hard. I don't think I could keep up with you. One of the best rolls I've ever had was at South Point. They don't like to lose ANY money.
I've had some good sessions at South Point too Glen, but I guess those days are over.
😂 Southpoint must be the notorious POS for craps players. The first time I got kicked out of Southpoint was the year it opened we had a timeshare across the street and me and my Young Bride decided to go across and play craps. After a great rolling session, where they never complained about my role. One random player showed up with $10,000 bankroll and made about $32,000 on my roll. After he left they need said you can't roll craps here anymore today we're shutting the table down you've been batting over 300. Which was Chris the individual you mentioned by the way he's been there quite a long time. I've had several bad run-ins over the years with Southpoint with Randy and I hear he was recently was fired being one of the worst crap Pit Bosses I've ever experienced but I enjoyed the environment and the overall locals Casino feel so much that I kept going back because it was close to my best friend's house. We have now made it a joke for those of us who like to roll together that if you're not kicked out of Southpoint you can't join our club.😂 pro-tip just down the road is the M Resort and they have $10 tables week days with ATS. Southpoint is just Plain Jane crap table with no fire b or allcall Smalls and honestly one of the worst set of craps management in all of Vegas based on my 30 years experience. Right now Green Valley is probably my favorite casino with the all tall small tables and they do do a $10 table during the day. But have one of the best rooms and I enjoy the off-strip experience. Also Ellis is my second favorite place to go because you're in the center of everything with a HomeTown feeling casino that you can literally wear sweatpants and a tracksuit if you don't want to dress up and don't feel out of place😂 PS Ellis rooms we're updated recently and are not bad if you're on a budget. And in the morning I had $5 craps less than three other players at the table
I'm with you on GVR and Ellis. I've been in the M Resort casino, but haven't pitched dice there. I'll be sure to give them a try on my next trip. Thanks for the tip!
They had 2 $5 dollar craps tables going at South Point this past friday. Great place never in doubt
Thank I'll pass on South Point Craig. Thanks for watching and commenting!
We love Ellis Island as well. They even have a $5 craps table!
And a good cafe!
Interesting, I have played at south point a couple of times and never experienced any DI heat or bad crews.
Me too, before this trip. I figure there are too many options in Vegas to put up with folks like Chris.
I have to add one more story about Southpoint. I took my family there which says a lot about a casino when I'm willing to bring my kids to a place and this was the second to last trip I had made to Southpoint over the last 30 years. That night I don't normally drink told my wife I was going to go down and play craps and I was going to drink so she limited me to my standard $300 and I gave her my ATM card😂. Went down to the table began to enjoy myself with some adult beverages and there was a large crowd where I was able to squeeze in at the end of the table not my normal position. I asked the table what's going on and a couple people answered it's my birthday. Not something normal to have two people at the table with their birthday one nice lady and one gentleman. So I ask them what's your favorite numbers they both answered hard 10. I said well I'm surprised you didn't pick 12 if you're going to pick any number and we laughed and I said well go ahead and put your bets down I put $10 on the hard way and the birthday boy put down $100 the birthday girl put down 25. I rolled for 2 hours and my first role was five five. I also encourage the table to place tips for the dealers during the entire two-hour roll. Part of my FunShui gambling experience. I enjoy seeing the dealers excitement when they are in the game too. The next morning when I was leaving the birthday boy and his wife and kids took a moment to talk to me and my family as we were all packing up to leave. It was a really nice experience. Unfortunately the crap stuff primarily the management and their Soup Nazi like control of the table and lack of any bonus games like ATS leaves it as a tourist trap for those who are at an event like archery or NASCAR. You'd be better off just taking your gambling money and going to a different casino and start building points there.
BTW they only offer 2x odds
Sounds like one heck of a session!
Thanks for the great trip report, really appreciate the Craps situational updates. Man you two get your steps in for sure! I am liking the Five & Dime Roulette strategy. Do you think the Fib 12 and Elite 8 are better than the Five & Dime? I need to order a 3" x 5" notepad to keep up with the Session High and Betting Levels in Roulette.
Definitely get a pad to keep up, I always have one on me. I like all three strategies you mentioned. I didn't play the Five & Dime this trip, sticking with the Fib 12 and Elite 8. I actually won more money with the Elite 8 this trip. I had a real nice session with it at Treasure Island.
Am with you having coffee on the balcony doesn’t get any better 👍
I love Ellis Island...My favorite casino in Vegas.
Ellis is a lot of fun!
Most of the time I've been to South Point, the boxman has yelled at somebody about their dice throwing.
And that's a shame. Thanks for watching and commenting Tim.
Thanks for the report. Several of us from Kentucky are heading out there in October. We are staying at the Sahara but plan on visiting many of the casinos on the strip as well as downtown.
Best of luck Scotty. I lived in the Louisville area (Middletown) for 5 years as a kid. We'd often go back to visit our neighbors during the summer after we moved to Texas. Fond memories of the Bluegrass State!
@@GamblersUniversity1 What a small world. I grew up in Louisville and recently bought a home in Douglass Hills which is right next to Middletown. Love it here. I hope to use some of your craps and roulette strategies in October. We plan on staying in the sportbook on Saturday so we can watch and bet on college football. Big fan of your channel.
I would never play at South Point either. Sam Town and Main Street are the best if you have to play craps.
Love Sam's. Main Street has a nice "old school" vibe to it. Enjoy playing at both places!
The chopper can attract heat when thrown well.
I've never had an issue with it before. Of course, I've only thrown it for a short time.
Ellis Island has a nice casino. It was small when it first opened. Good place to eat. Sam's Town has a good casino and I liked the food there. My Late wife would like the penny slot machines. Don't like staying on the strip, it gets too crowded on Las Vegas Blvd. Main Street Station is a nice Casino. When I lived there, in the '90's, they had the best buffett downtown. Plaza is nice. El Cortez is a nice Hotel with a good casino. Orleans is okay, not as good as Sam's Town though. Used to like the Maxim, they went out of business and it got torn down. Silverton, that used to be Boom Town. Their buffett was really good. Don't think I'll play at South Point Casino either. Ellis Island has a $5 table all the time. Don't like MGM. Most casinos on Las Vegas Blvd have very high minimums. You should try Jerry's Nugget. The coffee shop is really good. Locals place. I think they have a $3 craps table. Very informative report.
I'm sorry about your wife, that has to be extremely hard.
Jerry's was on our list this trip, we just ran out of time before we could get there. We will make it a priority on our next trip! Thank you for the tip!
Live in Las Vegas, South Point is at the ass end of anywhere in Las Vegas. Love the atmosphere @ Ellis Island and decent reasonable food choices. If you’re renting a car I would absolutely recommend Any of the Station Casino properties. They, Stations are all very well run and great staffs and for those crap players looking for a firm consistent craps table, all Stations properties tables are set up the same.
If you like a trampoline like table please consider playing @ the Golden Nugget.
Of course the above are strictly my opinion based on playing most every table in Las Vegas.
Best deal on prime rib & you have a car, stop @ Jerry’s Nugget! They also have the largest crap table I have ever seen, haven’t measured it but it’s got to be 16-18 ft!
Thanks for the info Fred. I always visit Ellis for the steak special there. I think it's a fun little casino, but I do miss the brewery. I always rent a car when visiting and do the majority of my gambling off strip. I do like the crew at TI and always enjoy tossing the bones there when I'm on the strip.
I'll have to check out the table you mentioned at Jerry's Nugget. It sounds like a monster!
South point is my casino of choice. I stay there all the time. The strip seems too high priced and too many people. Downtown is better and more reasonable price wise. But I'm an old guy and Vegas has changed from the good old days so I find South point is most convenient and accommodating for me. Do play craps but from now on when I see a Cris I'll move on. Sorry you had a Bummer experience there but maybe you should complain officially to his higher ups. Plus maybe you're too good of a thrower and they fear your dice.
Before this experience at South Point, I would agree wholeheartedly with your assessment. I doubt they fear my dice tossing though. :) Thanks for watching and commenting Butch!
Did you see any Roll to Win machines. Those are the machines made by Aruze, Same compay that makes Shoot to Win. Unfortunately, it appears most casinos have removed theirs.
Harrah's has one!
Most Caesars properties still have Roll to Win tables. Have played @ both Linq, & Flamingo in the last 6 weeks. Circus Circus has a $5 Roll to Win also
They have roll to win tables at Flamingo Harrahs, Place station and Canary, circus circus. They have been removed from Cosmo, Linq, Paris & Planet Hollywood.
Chris is the original “craps nazi”. He is miserable to deal with. I won’t shoot dice there when he is working. Thankfully you can find times when he is off and the other craps floors are fine. South Pointe poker room is packed all the time and really a fun place to play in. Sports and race books are the best in Vegas.
I've always enjoyed South Point's poker room and sports book. Chris...not so much. :)
Thanks for watching and commenting.
My sister in-law Jenny is a black jack dealer.
south point believes you can influence the dice. an they will not hesitate to take the dice away and tell you to leave!
No doubt. I guess I learned the hard way! :)
are 1 dollar bubble craps totalllyrandom or a slot machine ie fixed
are all bc machines interblock........i know those aren't random .........thanks c u
As you know, slots run on a RNG. Bubble craps don't, unless the casinos are using magnets to control the dice. Then you have to ask yourself if they would risk losing their casino license by cheating on a $1 craps machine. That doesn't seem like a very good business decision, so I'm comfortable playing them.
@@GamblersUniversity1 interblock craps machines up here classified as slots buyer beware think they are NOT randon........ either random or not random that is the ? should ask casino mngment before u play//ive witnessed craziness
Pressed my 9 come bet from 10/20 to 20/40 and the box guy said I could only bet $24 dollars..lol...don't know where he came up with this number...told him what I was doing and reluctantly said ok....soooo dumb...called them out for the crews being "handzy"...kept hitting the dice...they didn't like me after that.
Most of the dealers at South Point were fine, it was just the one I mentioned that was over the top. Too many places to play craps in Vegas to put up with a heavy-handed box man. Thanks for commenting!
South point has to fix their attitude toward craps players or else they will lose a lot of players. I had the same experience with the pit boxman and he passed the dice on me when he said I didn't hit both dice at the end when I did. I was on a good roll and his sh_t ass attitude was trying to break my concentration. They hate when they lose $$$. This old mean box man sure has a crap stick up his you know what!
Yeah. I don't know if it's the same guy or if they have several with a bad attitude. I've always enjoyed South Point, especially their video poker and their poker room, but my experience really turned me off to SP. Too many places to play in Vegas to put up with attitude from the box man. Thanks for watching and commenting!
It’s ok to stab someone in the lobby but don’t hit the wall and all hell breaks loose! 😂 I love the SP been their hundreds of times but they are very strict on those dice tables. He’s not exaggerating. It happened to me also. I had the audacity to miss the wall with one die two times in a row and the box goon went nuts. So the next roll I hit the back wall so hard the dice literally ricocheted back to the other side. Then he said I was rolling to hard and passed the dice. After the next shooter assumed the roll and seven out I told him to go F himself and wondered off into the night.
I've darkened their doors for the last time. Too many options in Vegas to put up with their attitude.
Hi Professor, good to see you. Man you really make the rounds in Vegas when you're there. Was there any place you didn't hit lol? Do you ever get to the Sunset Station casino? Great raw seafood bar in there and big locals hang out. Very sorry to hear about your experience at South Point. Generally great people in the casinos but there are plenty of idiots around the tables no matter where you go. Keep up the good work, see you soon.
Hi Rick. We did put a few miles on the rent car that week. Although Sunset was on our list, we never made the drive over. I have been there a couple times on previous trips and enjoyed playing there. Also in a nice area of town if I remember correctly.
SouthPoint has been known as SweatPoint for many years….
No doubt about it!
Wow how long were you there? You got around well. Wish I had seen you at South Point. I was there 1st thru 5.
We arrived on the 24th and flew home on the 1st. Looks like we just missed each other.
i had the same experience- i will never visit south point again.
Yeah, it got ugly quick.
Can you provide a link to that throw? Also wondering it you had a chance to do a test run on my method of playing roulette? Hit and Get Part Time Job. Made $675 last week. $85 today.
Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/N04J_tgFG6I/v-deo.html
I haven't seen the "Hit & Get." Did you email it to me, or leave it as a comment?
@@GamblersUniversity1 I am using a variation of the Fibonacci system you use. Bet on the last dozen that doesn't hit. Give it 5 bets and if I lose, wait until the dozen does hit. Then I reset and go for 5 more bets. If I don't hit, I reset again. Playing on an arena table. $5.00 minimum bets. I call it Hit and Get. Try to win $45.00 to $50.00 and I am gone. Do it on my way home from work. You can't get rich, but I believe you can make around $2000 -$2500 a month because a losing sequence happens very rarely. Split it between 2 casinos. Also, the casino won't ban you. with that little payout. Can you do a test run to confirm?
The dice setter epidemic has been a thing since about 2011 actually so by now you should have encountered all reactions from craps pit supervisors
True, but never one that escalated so quickly.
I like to stay at SP and the steak and egg breakfast for 6 bucks at 5am can’t be beat. Sorry to hear the craps situation has gone bad. Haven’t been there since 2019 - pre virus
Better off playing bubble craps vs rude craps employees.
True, but my overall experience with casino personnel has been very good. You'll run into an occasional jerk regardless of the situation.
Thanks for commenting!
You are a Lucki Duck to be able to play all those casinos. 😂
No doubt lightning! Good to hear from you!
South Point is known for horrible box and taking dice from shooters.
You can count me in on both of your observations! :)
The casino is entitled to protect its assets.
True, but their method could use some work. :)
Ya missed OYO 5-10 craps and 1$ bubble craps
Thanks for the tip! I won't miss it next time! :)
sorry you got abused at South Point. Have wanted to go there but no thanks. The M RESORT has a GREAT Seafood buffet.
I like the M Resort too. It's got a laid back vibe to it and a high end feel.
South Point has gotten trashy.
I haven't been back since this incident and don't plan to go. It's a shame, SP was one of my favorite places to play in Vegas before this. Oh well, lots of choices in Vegas!
Landry and Staubach great picture
Thanks! It was a birthday gift from my kiddos a few years ago. Two great men in that photo!
Pit bosses at that casino suck 🤮
Too many choices in Vegas to have to put up with bad attitudes from the boxman.
Seems like an overreaction to one bad experience
I guess you'd have to be there.
Chris needs a woman.
LOL!
south point sucks sooooo much
That one boxman does, for sure!
I LOVE THE SOUTH POINT AND DON’T PLAY ANY TABLE GAMES, JUST VIDEO POKER SO I’M GOOD. THE SP HAS THE BEST EMPLOYEES AND FOOD TOO. SAD TO SEE THIS BAD EXPERIENCE WITH YOU TWO. I DON’T KNOW CRAPS RULES BUT IF THAT’S THE ONLY PLACE BUSTING UR CHOPS, I WOULD DO THE SAME. FOR ME, THE STRIP HAS TOO MANY DOPERS/HOMELESS/GHETTO PEOPLE, SUPER CROWDED AND THE FOOD IS A RIPOFF, HOTELS ARE A RIPOFF AND CALIFORNIA GANG BANGERS AND TRASH SO I ALWAYS STAY AND PLAY AT THE FOUR QUEENS DOWNTOWN. THE PALACE BAR IS MY PLACE FOR MANY YEARS. THEY HAVE SCUMBAGS DOWNTOWN TOO BUT I CAN HIT UP 8 CASINOS AND A HUNDRED FOOD PLACES IN WITH A 10 MINUTE WALK. I WOULD NOT STAY DOWNTOWN WITH MY WIFE BUT SHE HATES VEGAS SO IM GOOD GOING 6-8 TIMES A YEAR WATCHING FOOTBALL WITH MY BUDDIES.
SEE YOU IN LAS VEGAS…..🎰🎰🎰🎰🎰🎰🎰🎰🎰🎰🎰🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I felt the same about South Point before this trip, but the incident I described was just too over the top to ignore. I'm also with you on playing at off strip properties. Best of luck in Vegas!
Why are you shouting? It is rude.

I ALWAYS USE ALL CAPS….IT’S MY THING.
