Casino Royale is a small casino and motel located on the Las Vegas Strip. The casino caters to low rollers, and features low table minimums for roulette, craps, and blackjack. The casino often employs people handing out coupons inviting people inside and seems to rely heavily on street traffic for their business. The parking lot behind Casino Royale is a little known secret with some of the most convenient and closest parking to the Las Vegas Strip. The south end of The Strip. ... Roulette is a casino and gambling game (Roulette is a French word meaning small wheel). A croupier turns a round roulette wheel which has 37 or 38 separately numbered pockets in which a ball must land. ... Craps (previously known as crabs) is a casino dice game. ... Blackjack! The face cards (Jack, Queen, and King) and the ten count as 10 points, and the Ace counts as 1 or 11. ...


Casino Royale is the only casino in Las Vegas that has 100 times odds on craps at all times. The minimum bet on Casino Royale's 100 times odds craps tables is usually two dollars (although it is raised to three dollars at busy times such as Super Bowl Weekend or New Year's). The craps tables usually close around 3AM. Although, at busy times they will keep a table open until around 6 or 7AM.


The area that contains the craps tables, known as the "craps pit", is comprised of two standard sized tables that can accomdate EIGHT players per side, for a total of SIXTEEN players per table, and a small craps table, known as a tub. The minimum bet allowed on the tub is $1, however, unlike the larger tables which have 100 times odds, the tub only allows 10 times odds. Also, players at the tub can not stand, and are required to sit in one of the chairs that surround the tub.


Casino Royale no longer offers standard blackjack, rather, Casino Royale now offers a trademarked version of blackjack known as "Blackjack Switch".


The dealers are a little rougher than the fancy strip resorts but this makes for a much more enjoyable experience for the low roller post-college gambler. When a craps table gets hot, the tight quarters and free flowing drinks make for one of the best vegas experiences around.
