Almost 20 years to the day that Stanley Fujitake made gambling history at the California in downtown Las Vegas, a woman in Atlantic City has taken his crown as the longest craps roller ever. From the AC Press:
A Morris County woman gave a whole new meaning to the expression “being on a roll,” as she broke the world record for shooting dice at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.
Pat DeMauro bought into a craps game for $100 Saturday night and held the dice for four hours and 18 minutes. She threw the dice 154 times before she finally “sevened out,” Borgata officials said Sunday. The previous record for longest craps roll was held by Stanley Fujitake, of Honolulu, at 3 hours and 6 minutes, and it took place May 28, 1989, at the California Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
Fujitake’s record is a big deal at the California; they even have a “Golden Arm Club” (so-called in honor of his nickname, “Golden Arm) filled with folks who have gotten close to his legendary exploit.
