E-Craps doesn't have the same feel of playing in a live craps pit, no excitement or banter and you can't see what others are betting on without looking over their shoulder, which feels weird. So it's about the same as playing online at home.
The e-Craps is great for low rollers, though, because as long as you have $5 in total bets running (including multi-roll bets working from previous rolls) you can spread that $5 around the table however you like, in 50 cent increments.
Also, the hardways bets seem to pay 8:1/10:1 which if correct would be true odds with no house advantage! This could be the best bet in the casino.
My 1st trip to the Maryland Live Casino was on 07/05/2012 from about 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM. It was a bit difficult to find the entrance but I followed the crowds and then the group of security and police cars. I am glad security is a priority, although the amount of officers visible outside made me feel uncomfortable like they were there for more than prevention. Next I went to get my Players card line was about 5 minutes certainly reasonable. The selection and number of machines was phenomenal and I felt the casino flowed well. When I could hear the music in the background I enjoyed it and the live act sounded good when I was in that area. During the three hours I was there I was not approached once by a server, only caught a glimpse of the same server twice, and after an hour and a half walked to the bar. When I went to the bar service was quick and polite, five dollars for a domestic bottle of beer seemed high.
They let you play $5 total on each round/spin/throw.
MEANING:
In craps you can play 1 dollar on 4, 1 dollar on 5, and $3 on 6 and that adds up to 5 and you can play. There is even 50-cent options although the game needs to payout correctly IE: 6 and 8 are increments of $1.50.
I have played craps ALOT in my life and Ive seen it all and I gotta say I would totally play the craps game at MD live way more than bet on a random shooter at a live table.
