Frank's newest article: http://scoblete.casinocitytimes.com/...-captain-62930
Frank, did you ever reveal his true name? Has there ever been any third party confirmation about his big rolls, earnings, wins or anything published?
Did the casinos ever issue press releases for those big wins or record rolls or take photos as was done for Pat DeMauro?
Will there be anyone to carry on the story/legend of The Captain after you are no longer published?
Yes, actually there are individuals in the casino-executive ranks still alive who knew the late Captain and there is one other member of his Crew still alive other than me --- Satch. The two of us were the youngest members and at that time in the 1990s the lowest rollers. Obviously my wife and Satch's wife, my children and some of my closest friends / relatives know who he was.
In my new craps book coming out in May of 2015 I will have quotes from some of the casino people who knew him.
As you know, players are not under any obligation to get publicity for whatever they do at the table games (I know some places make a point of saying slot players are open season for publicity) or publically state what they have made at the tables. The Captain always preferred anonymity. I have kept my word to him and have not and will not reveal who he was.
One of my students (VegasRay) met him at Wild Wild West. VegasRay was on one of the Captain's great rolls. Two of the GTC instructors talked to him on the phone.
I hope when you say after I am no longer published that that particular happening happens way, way in the future.
Are the AC casino people who witnessed his then record roll still atound to talk about it?
