For decades, superstitious gamblers have desperately searched for the mythical "perfect hour" to visit the casino floor.

Choosing the right time to visit a physical casino should not be based on superstitious beliefs about "hot" or "cold" payout cycles.

Visiting a casino between 6:00 AM and 11:00 AM on a Tuesday or Wednesday guarantees a nearly empty, incredibly peaceful gaming floor.

This empty floor provides several massive, tangible benefits for the dedicated table game player.
The Weekend Nightlife Experience
The craps tables become wildly loud, packed tight with screaming, high-fiving players celebrating every successful roll of the dice.
