    Hello,

    just wondering if anyone has played bubble craps since the pandemic and if so, how are casino’s handling the bubble craps machines.

    Are they turning off any other seat. Normally they are spaced out anyway, just not sure if its 6 feet.

    also, are they wiping down the button or the screens more often. Also if you can add what casino you played bubble craps at and if there was a mad amount of people who can play.

    any imfornation would be greatly appreciated.

    Following this thread. I've always been curious about bubble craps but never tried it.

    I played bubble craps at a few places late Aug/early Sept:

    El Cortez - all seats were turned on. $1 minimum

    Treasure Island - I'm pretty sure all seats were turned on, but no one was playing it. The felt in the buble was all jacked up. $5 minimum.

    Bellagio - I believe every other station was off. $5 minimum.

    It is the most relaxing game there, and profitable. Easy introduction to craps, even got my wife to finally play.

    sounds like no increase in minimums.

    can someone post Luxor and Excalibur’s status. I play there mostly.

    You take some Clorox wipes, put them in a ziploc bag but before sealing, you compress it tightly without air inside. You put it in your pocket.
    You use as is applicable.
    I played at the 4Queens in September and only 2 other players so didn’t notice blocked screens.
    Playing vp near the machine at California I heard an excited group which I couldn’t locate and only discovered looking at the craps table and seeing them wondering what went wrong with 10$ + tables downtown. Never actually looked at the game but it sounded like 15 or 20. Maybe 4.....

    This is not LV, but I played it at Cherokee last week. Every seat was open and filled at 3 PM on a Wed, some of that may have been caused by the normal craps tables being limited to 6 people and being filled all the time with people waiting for an open spot.. Never saw anybody wiping the machines down.

    @Vegasismy2ndhome some places in Vegas like Palazzo have every other Bubble craps stationed closed. I saw employee wipe downs regularly during 4th of July weekend. Others like Four Queens, have every bubble craps station open -- did not see wipe downs. It just depends on the property. That said, I feel much safer playing bubble craps in any configuration than regular craps.

    Played at flamingo the last weekend of July. They have 2 bubble craps tables, one had every other seat off, and one had all seats on and it was often full. $3 minimum. Terrible drink service. Didn’t notice them cleaning them hardly at all, but that could be because they were pretty consistently in use.
    Played at the cosmopolitan and they had every other seat off, $5 minimum.

    At Paris, the setup was pretty spaced out. At The D, the bubble craps setup was jam packed on a Friday. No spaces between seats.

    I played at Caesars Palace, Linq, and Bellagio on my 4th of July trip. Bellagio has the newer individual machines (where each person has his or her own bubble and tiny dice) with $5 minimum and I think that one only has 4 seats and they were all on.

    Caesars had every other one disabled but most of the disabled seats were full of players' friends or whatever and there wasnt much enforcement of distancing there in some places, that being one of them.
    Linq had every other seat turned off and great drink service, and I think that one was maybe $3 minimum (I usually play $5/6 anyway because I'm used to table math even though the machines pay correctly regardless). All three were 2x odds.

    Didnt ever witness any of them wiped down by staff, but Bellagio has plenty of sanitizer and a hand washing station really nearby, and a limited supply of gloves available for free by the free masks.
