Patricia Demauro breaks the Captain's world record

On Saturday evening, May 23, at Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, Patricia Demauro played craps for the second time in her life and rolled 154 numbers before sevening out. This epic roll eclipsed the Captain's previous World Record of 147 numbers.

Ms. Demauro's roll lasted four hours and 18 minutes and in terms of time also eclipsed Stanley Fujitake's record length of three hours and six minutes (118 numbers rolled). Yes, Ms. Demauro is now the new champ in terms of time and, more important, in terms of the total number of rolls before sevening out.

"The King is dead; all hail the new Queen!"

The Captain's 147 roll lasted two hours and 18 minutes.

So why the disparity in time between the Captain's roll and Demauro's and Fujitake's?

The disparity in time among the three rolls is easy to explain.

Fujitake and Demauro were rolling on 14-foot tables, packed with players, most of them making the Hardways bets and other Crazy Crapper bets that took a lot of time to pay off. Those tables had at least 14 players on them. With only 12 players at the Captain's 12-foot table and with most of them eschewing the bad bets, the Captain was able to get in many more rolls in much less time.
