Have been in contact with other p2pool operators who may be opening up additional public Casinocoin p2pool nodes soon. Unfortunately and perhaps unintentionally it looks like
http://casinocoin.mooo.com:8840/ has broken off on it's own
The break up was intentional, for now. Currently the difficulty is still so low that sharing one p2pool didn't feel ideal. Also I'm trying to see what are the ideal parameters for such a fast coin. I'm not going to stay as an lonely island forever, just for a little while.
One thing that I've noticed that is pretty annoying is constantly changing share difficulty. Example:
[2013-12-12 19:31:17] Pool 0 difficulty changed to 721.128538
[2013-12-12 19:31:17] Stratum from pool 0 requested work restart
[2013-12-12 19:31:18] Pool 0 difficulty changed to 610.394723

Instead of sending a work restart/share diff change every 5-10 seconds, maybe cap it to a min of 45 seconds. I am pretty sure that having to do these computations for every miner so often is what is causing load issues, not to mention it increases the likelihood of stales.
