Tales From The Casino Pit

Michelle, Dani, Jon and Jay talk about if dealing and playing at Casino's are still (or ever were) "cool", if any of them would ever play the electronic variations of table games and what it would take to impress people that have been in the casino industry.

We are joined by Xerxes Rodil in the episode as we talk about how the game of Craps was played in the early years (without dice) before being brought into all of the casinos.  Xerxes also shares with us stories about how he broke into the industry and the influence of Klondike Days casinos.
