Her favorite game is craps, and two of her favorite casinos offer different betting options. Casino 1 offers a $10 minimum bet, $25 maximum bet and Casino 2 offers a $25 minimum bet, $100 maximum bet. To simplify things, she will play only the minimum or maximum and she will bet one hand at a time.
