- We all took advantage of a Four Queens junket. We each paid $189.00 in San Diego, which got us round-trip plane flights and hotel rooms for two nights. Then after we'd played eight hours at The Four Queens, they gave us each $100.00 cash and $100.00 in goofy chips.* We were all really happy with the conditions of the junket.
- By Saturday night, Mike, was down quite a bit: close to $1,200.00. On Sunday morning he had an incredible craps hand at The Four Queens which won him back about $600.00, and later that afternoon he bet like a maniac on blackjack at Silver City and won the rest back. He ended up ahead for the trip about $35.00.
- Getting back to Mike's great craps hand. He made a total of six points, which is, although not extraordinary, pretty impressive. But the thing that did make it extraordinary was that five of those six points were fours or tens. Anyone pressing his line bet and taking full odds was making good money.
*They’re really called match-play chips, and they can be wagered on an even money bet (like in blackjack). For every real chip you bet, you can bet one match play chip of the same value. If you win, the dealer takes your match play chip and replaces it with a real one (and of course pays off your real chip). If you lose, he just takes both your real chip and match play chip. So, assuming you win half of your bets, your $100.00 in match play chips should translate to $50.00 in real money.
