The Man With the Golden Arm, Part I
On May 28th, 1989, a Hawaii man walked up to "Craps Three" and set a record that stands to this day. Stanley Fujitake held the dice for 3 hours and 6 minutes, 118 rolls. On the anniversary month of this historic event almost 19 years later Kimo's Vegas talked with the Sr. VP of the Downtown Region, John Repeti (who was the General Manager) and Casino Manager, Jeff Weiss (who was the Shift Manager) of the California Hotel when the longest roll in craps history happened.
