More significant there seems to be a Gaming Commission filled with inexperienced personnel who have no intention (according to current rumors) of allowing any verbal bets at the craps table. Now I can understand the Commission and the Surveillance Department each wanting a bet to be set up on the layout before it is actually paid but it seems the Commission wants only bets paid that were on the layout at the time of the roll to be paid. Some of this is rumor so perhaps I'm unwise in repeating it but it may be an indication of how the opportunity for growth may be throttled by the bureaucrats. If I ever go there to gamble, it seems that although my wallet will not qualify me for High Roller status, the altitude will.
