Promotional freebies: I got a few pair...
In Response To: White Dice...used for what? ()

in 1994 when I went to the "Comdex" computer convention with my dad. Although the main exhibits were at the Las Vegas convention center and Sands convention center, a couple of days they had keynote speakers at the Aladdin. After dropping him off to see the speaker one day, I was walking back outside and there was someone giving out the coupons for a 'free roll' at the craps table to win prizes (basically a ploy to get you to walk through the casino and hopefully stay).

Never being one to pass up a freebie, I went back in and (after being carded and looked at rather skeptically-- I was a month past my 21st birthday, but I looked about 15) rolled a pair of jumbo dice at a promotional table they had set up just for that purpose. The consolation prize was a pair of these dice. Over the course of the week I picked up about 6 pair, along with an Aladdin fridge magnet (my only prize greater than the consolation). vbg

Thanks for the memories. grin
