The intimidation factor is certainly understandable at a dice table -- I'm not even clear as to what's going on in between rolls... or why the people who work for the casino need to shout "YO!" every time someone rolls an eleven.

It makes for a fun time though -- because you can stand around and make judgements on people by looking at them. I think girls like doing that and they like throwing the dice as well.

If you think the person looks like a Mush or is just wearing Steelers gear -- bet the don't pass and root against them. If not -- limp in with a $5 bet on the dice at like a 1.6% takeout ... and bet $25 or $50 in the back at a 0.00% takeout after a number is up.

I'm horrible with coming up for ideas for dates -- but the dice table was an outstanding one. Good offbeat conversation + slight buzz of low stakes gambling + the house edge is freaking tiny and there is no pressure to bet on every roll or every shooter.
