Good trip reports are the result of dedicated posters wanting to inform the members of the Board of events that accrued during their visit to various casinos.
I am interested in where they played and how they were treated by the crew and pit personal. Comps and table minimums do not play an important part in my casino considerations. The amount of money or units they won or lost is inconsequential. It's well enough to say I was satisfied with a win, or lost a bunch on the session.
What I find most interesting in a trip report, is the strange or unexpected things that happen during play. I enjoy hearing how the players and crew handle obnoxious kill joys at the table. In a previous post I related what happened when one of the Suits, during a chip fill, spilled six racks of chips all over the table and bets. It was wild. When they tried to clean up the chips they knocked over more stacks. Its things like this that makes entertaining reports.
It's good to know if you played on twelve or fourteen foot tables, but as far as hardness is concerned I would rather find that out for myself.
As far as heat is concerned, it is always good to know in advance if there is any forthcoming and should be in the report.
The characters you end up playing with could be the highlight of your report. Craps is just like golf. If you want to find out about someone's personality, just shoot a round of golf with him or watch him at the crap table. Sooner or later his true personality will surface.
