Bangor, Maine casino adding craps to gambling mix

BANGOR, Maine (AP) -- They'll soon be rolling the dice at the Hollywood Casino in Bangor, Maine.

The casino is adding craps to its offering of gambling options beginning Friday.

The casino has had slot machines since it opened as Maine's first casino in 2005, and added blackjack, poker and roulette earlier this year.

General Manager John Osborne says customers have been asking that craps be added to the mix.

Craps will officially debut at 5 p.m. Friday and will be open to play from 5 p.m. to closing on Fridays and Saturdays.

Osborne said the casino doesn't have enough craps dealers for the table to operate daily, but that could change next year after a new round of table games operators completes training courses at Eastern Maine Community College.
