TWENTY YEARS AGO, Hawaii resident Stanley Fujitake set a world record at the Cal’s craps table, holding the dice for three hours and six minutes. Last weekend a novice craps player visited Atlantic City’s Borgata, bought in for $100 and broke Fujitake’s record by holding the dice for four hours and 18 minutes. The monster roll, every craps shooter’s dream, happened on her second visit to the dice table. See an exclusive interview with Patricia Demauro of New Jersey, who held the dice for 154 rolls, at www.KimosVegas.com.
