Woman sets craps record in A.C.

ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey -- As reported by The Press of Atlantic City: "A Morris County woman broke the world record for the longest craps roll in gaming history Saturday night at a time of four hours and 18 minutes at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.

"Patricia Demauro, of Denville, bought into a game for $100 on a table adjacent to Borgata's Poker Room at roughly 8:13pm, and quickly amassed a crowd of supporters, comprised of Borgata associates and customers, who cheered her on. When she eventually sevened out at approximately 12:31 a.m., after 154 rolls of the dice, she was greeted by Borgata with a champagne toast and applause from her new fans.

"'This was only my second time playing the game of craps, so this was very exciting for me to be a part of history,' DeMauro told the Borgata staff. 'I've visited Borgata many times ... and I always have a lot of fun at the games and we enjoy the ambiance.'

"...The previous record for longest craps roll was held by Stanley Fujitake of Honolulu, Hawaii, at 3 hours and 6 minutes, and took place on May 28, 1989, at The California Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, which is also owned by Boyd Gaming Corporation..."
