    Has anyone heard if Casino Royale has any plans to reinstall their table games? Thanks!

    According to John Mehaffey, the guy who runs Vegas Advisor the table games aren't coming back.

    That Sucks! They weren't the best tables but I always had great luck and great drink service. Hopefully they reverse course on that decision.

    My wife and I would play $5 Free Bet for several hours on only $100! It was so much fun!

    Looks like table games may return after restrictions are lifted.

    There's no way they can make money at $5-$10 mins. Personally, though...I would guess they never come back.

    I too hope they return and I think they will. They have a lively atmosphere at the craps table. Also remember it’s a draw for people. The husband is playing craps while the wife or girlfriend or both are playing the slots.

    That’s why they have machine craps. And it wasn’t the same once they moved the tables behind the bar - the owners made it clear where they expected to make their coin.

    The thing about $5 tables at any casino is that not everyone is playing at the table minimum....Back when Aliante had $5 PaiGow it was pretty typical to see players with $50 or $25 out. And playing more than one hand.

    Sure, but at half capacity when you're the only low roller joint within a mile...you aren't going to make a dime.

    Even with Covid restrictions (tables at Aliante have 4 players with plexiglass up instead of the usual six) I have seen seen other players at PaiGow playing $25-50 a hand, and some playing two hands at those amounts.. Everyone at the tables at Aliante isn't a low roller...
    Back when the Pai Gow tables were $5 minimum I saw guys playing $100-200 a hand at the $5 table..

    Last June, I was at the El-Co &* they had both crap tables "open" - one at $10 and the other at $25.
    Both were empty.
    I said something to the floorman monitoring both tables that, "Wouldn't it be better to have a crowded $5 table where half or more of the bets are over $5, then to have two empty crap tables, fully manned?"
    His response: "If it were up to me, they'd both be at $5 until they were nearly full...then I'd up one to $10"

    Casino Royale table games..... man that seems like so long ago for me. I didn't play there often but I still remember the $1 craps with 100x odds. They also had this craps game where the table was half the size of a regular table, kind of like the size of a bath tub. They wouldn't let you set the dice but if you tipped the dealers often, they will "pass" you the the dice with already set the way you like it. So all you had to do was pick it up and roll. It was magic.

    The type of person playing $25-50 at Aliante isn't setting foot at CR.

    Look, the simple truth is if they thought these games made money, they'd be there, especially with their competition jacking up prices. it says a lot that they made the bar huge in the middle of the floor to begin with. They probably make more running bubble craps games than having a regular $5 craps table.

    Has anyone been in Casino Royale lately ? Have they brought back any table games? Will be in town next week and always like to stop in for a few beers. Not a big slot player.

    Thank you !

    No, games with live dealers weren't there when i walked through last week.

    I also expect them to never return, tbh.

    Agreed. And I’m glad the craps is gone. Such hatred for all those dealers there. Not just one, everyone I dealt with.

    I played Eureka Blast on my way back to Mirage after attempting White Castle and won 40 bucks. Take that CR! :thumbsup:

    Those dealers must have ended up somewhere else
    If anyone spots them, please post

    I place a lot of value on having good dealers
    They don't have to be your best friend
    But I hate it when a dealer can't be bothered or just exudes negative energy
