| About this painting |
| This is an
original painting donated to Special Collections by the artist, Bill
Willard. It depicts two happy souls playing craps along with a
coterie of casino games personnel- a stickman, with his back to us, a
boxman, in a purple suit he borrowed from Jack Nicholson during the
filming of Batman, two dealers, and a triangular pit boss.
The losing roll on the table contrasts with the winning dice combinations on the carpet, proving one of the maxims of casino surveillance: it is never a good idea to watch the carpet. |
