Casinos are constantly increasing the range of games they have on offer in order to tempt more and more people to try their luck. Some people find their luck on the slot machines, others on poker and blackjack tables, but the one thing they all have in common is that the casino holds the house edge.

In the popular dice game craps, the person rolling the dice, known as the shooter, is aiming not to roll a seven. The odds of the shooter rolling any other number are 83.33%. The odds may be in favour of the shooter, but can you imagine what the odds are of not rolling a seven for 154 consecutive rolls? The answer is 1 in 1.56 trillion and believe it or not, it has happened before.

This extraordinary feat was achieved in an Atlantic City casino by Patricia Demauro back in 2009. It was her friend, John Capra, who got her to try craps after becoming bored with the slot machines. She was able to convert her $100 buy in into at a minimum hundreds of thousands of dollars, potentially millions depending on the bets she placed.

The odds of her rolling the dice 154 times without “sevening out” are longer than that of winning the UK lottery, having identical quadruplets, being attacked by a shark and being killed by lightning. This demonstrates just how unlikely Patricia’s feat is and this is just one of a number of incredible casino stories that highlight the extraordinary luck that can happen to players, even if it is unlikely. The infographic below tells the stories of four statistical anomalies in casinos, where the odds are unbelievable.
