Manchester Community College in Connecticut has started offering their students a unique choice when it comes to elective classes. The college is offering a non-credit course that teaches students how to play the game of craps.

The course it taught by Nino Nistri, age 68, who have been gambling on a frequent basis since the age of eleven. Since 2000, Nistri has been teaching people how to play the dice game and was quoted in the Hartford Courant to say that the game can be daunting for a novice.

The class begins on May 13th and it will be two hours long in four different sessions. Each student in the class will get a copy of Nistri’s book called “Craps”, an odds sheet as well as a pair of regulation dice. It should be a very interesting class and students of the class may find they are good at the game and can benefit from the lessons.
