36. With Boppa and Mike Stefanidis - The Four Queens, September 18-20, 1992

  • Mike and I got hammered. That's all that need be said about that.
  • Boppa hit a $250.00 slot jackpot by lining up three 7s on the bottom line of a machine at a 97.4% payback carousel. It kept him up for the rest of the trip.
  • Mike and I were playing craps at the Four Queens, and a new shooter had just established a point. All the players made their additional bets; I think Mike and I were out there pretty heavily with place bets. Then the stickman pushed the dice to the shooter, and the guy who had previously been shooting picked up the dice and shot them instead! As the dice were in the air, many of the players (including Mike) were yelling, "Wrong shooter! Wrong shooter!" Well, sure enough, he rolled a seven. The dealers started to collect the bets, but the players protested. "That was the wrong shooter!" The dealer on our side of the table was saying that it didn't matter who shot the dice. Finally a pit boss came over, assessed the situation, and told the dealers to ignore the roll and let the real shooter continue. Pretty amazing. Then the real shooter rolled two or three numbers and sevened out himself.
