Casino pit

[1] Typically, a pit is organized as two rows of gaming tables arranged back-to-back.

The space between the rows is restricted to dealers and other casino personnel.

[2] Pits may vary in size, depending on the size of the casino, but are typically eight to twelve blackjack-sized tables or six to eight large craps or roulette tables.

At the end of each pit may be nothing more than a barrier keeping the public out, or another game table facing a cross aisle.

Small casinos may feature only one pit, while larger resorts in Las Vegas, Atlantic City or Monte Carlo may have a dozen or more, with pits devoted to a single game such as craps or roulette.
