ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - May 24, 2009
While playing craps at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa on
Saturday night, Patricia Demauro of Denville set a new record for
the longest craps roll by hanging on for four hours and 18 minutes.
Borgata officials said that bested the previous mark of three hours
and six minutes, set nearly 20 years ago at a Las Vegas casino.
Demauro bought into a game for $100 at about 8:13 p.m. and
quickly amassed a large crowd of cheering supporters. When she
eventually "sevened out" around 12:31 a.m., after 154 rolls of
the dice, she was greeted by Borgata with a champagne toast.
"This was only my second time playing craps, so this was very
exciting for me to be a part of history," she said.
The casino would not disclose how much Demauro won during her
stretch at the table.
