If you think about it --- the dice table is a great place to take your girlfriend or wife on a date.

Also... if you're going to bet on something just for the sake of betting on something and getting that action buzz ... why would you play anything else but the dice table? The house edge is laughably low. It's befudding walking around a casino and seeing only two dice tables going -- one at a $5 minimum and another a $10 min ... and yet you see all the other equally mindless games and stupid machines rocking and rolling.

Just like horse racing, people don't want to take the time to learn (or learn to handicap for that matter) how to play. I also think that there is some sort of intimidation factor around that table as well.
