For a few hours a couple guys kept hollaring what the point was eight or six "EASY EIGHT" or "EASY SIX" even tho they had lots of money of the hard way. I think they thought it meant that it is easy to roll. Anyway so the louder of the 2 guys has cashed out and gone, the other guy still feeling the vibe and only a couple players left by this time. I send the dice out to him, and once again we have Eight for a point, then you guessed it he starts "EASY EIGHT... we like that easy eight! EASY EIGHT!"
So my tired slap-happy self leans over the table his direction and yell out "How do you like your Eights?!" But he didn't get it as I expected him to say "EASY EIGHT!" but he seemed dumbfounded and replied "Uhh I dont know?" So I came back on the fly with this reply "Eights Over Easy" (like... Eggs Over easy...) and we got a snicker out of it, but then Suddenly KC, my 3rd base dealer, realized what I said and he about dies in laughter right there at the table, and then me too, laughing so hard I can't do anything. The game continues with us 2 cracking up, and so a few rolls later theres the Eight come 5-3 (EASY EIGHT- WINNER) and KC jumps the gun and says Eight Over Easy. Then the rest of the 8 rolls of the night KC laughs out saying "Over Easy" until suddenly a Hard Eight (4-4) rolls, and this one KC has in the bag "Hard Boiled!" Also funny buy not quite as funny as the random unexpected Over Easy.
I can tell KC has a blast working with me, he's only been here about a week but I sure am giving him a show! Let me flashback to his 1st night working with me.
A guy keeps betting the Yo every roll! I send out the dice to this guy for his roll, knowing he wants a Yo, I send them set up at 6-5 and I yell out "Show me your Yo!!" I do this everytime it was his roll! He even hit it a number of times, good thing. It's just a fun time!
Tonight KC recollected this memory after the Easy Eight Fun, And I told him "You've never had this much fun dealing dice, than with me!"
I like to make sure everyone is having a good time! And on this note this is why I got another silly star award from a customer comment tonight.
I'm afraid this kind of fun and attitude and camaraderie just doesn't exist on the rest of the strip. The dealers and atmosphere always seems solemn and somber everywhere else. I dont know if I want to stop having fun at work...

something about a chicken
Sometimes I forget to tell my stories...
This one happened a couple days ago, but last night after work I remembered it and told S and he about died laughing and asked why I didnt post it here. So here it it...
I'm on stick. Everyone but one person has made the same prop bet. I look at the odd ball and say "C'mon all teh cool kids are doin' it!" and he laughs but still no bet. So out of the blue it the most tempting persuading tone of voice I say, and loud enough for everyone to hear incidentally "It tastes like CHICKEN!"
Now I have everyone rolling and laughing so hard. The Guy even makes the bet now. Box man busts up saying "What the hell, Where did that come from?" It was completely random! I have no thought process behind it, it just CAME OUT :)
Then another guy said after the roll "Ya Know, It does kinda taste like chicken!" and that was totally funny too!
When I get to base the boxman leans over and says "what would even make you think of something like that?" and even more randomly I replied "maybe it was the subconcience of the "winner winner chicken dinner that we're all tired of hearing."

Craps **NO** More
We had our 2nd dice table converted about 2 weeks ago to a CRAPS NO MORE table.
For those of you unaware of the difference, You can not loose on the come out roll, 2, 3, and 12 can and will become points, as well as the 11, which no longer wins on the come out roll. There is no dark side (i.e. Don't Pass or Don't Come bets).
It is still a time of learning and adjustment for the dice dealers when they are on this game. So lots of interesting and funny and weird things happen.
A player throws down some money and says "cover all of the numbers" we have to stop and think what proper units are going to be on the new numbers, figure out the change and it slows us down a little. The player gets frustrated thinking we dont know what we are doing but I just stop and say "Hey man, It's ok, we just got this game here and we are still figuring it out" so this usually works.
How weird does this sound " 2 Craps 2, the point is 2, mark the 2."
Or "Yo 11, Point's 11, Mark the Yo" then all your players look at you like "aren't you going to pay me?" All I have to do is say "Nope, the point is 11!" and suddenly you get all these WTF looks.
Then there the mid game call of Yo. Last night I'm on stick and the point was 5. A few rolls later "Yo 11, good field, comes to Yo!" But wait, thats not what my 3rd base dealer is doing! I swish my stick over and smack it down like a Catholic School Teacher onto the a come bet the 3rd base dealer payed, and yelled "No!!"... he was clearly thinking of traditional craps "good field, good come" and we both bust out laughing, and I had the fun of rubbing it in on him all night!
It is a good thing we had a great personality of a box man! Some box men are sticks in the mud and the fun woulda just deflated fast!
