Golden Arm
From HandWiki - Reading time: 2 min
A Golden Arm is a craps player who has rolled dice for over one hour without losing.[1][2] The designation was created by the California Hotel and Casino in 1989 after Stanley Fujitake rolled 118 times for three hours and six minutes without sevening out.[1][2][3]
The California Hotel and Casino had lost more than $1 million. Fujitake had won about $30,000. In 1999, the Platinum Arm Club was formed honoring players who roll for over 90 minutes or over an hour on at least two occasions.[4][5]
On May 23–24, 2009 Patricia DeMauro of New Jersey rolled 154 times including 25 passes over a period of 4 hours and 18 minutes at the Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This remains the current record. She bested by over an hour the record held for almost 20 years – that of Fujitake.[6]
