Default Anyone thrown out of the Wendover Nugget?

I am new to the SLC area, and went to visit wendover to play, and I won almost $6000 in about 20 minutes. I was playing max bet $500 the whole time, playing just basic strategy. About halfway to the 6k, the pit boss pulled the dealer aside (there was only 2 people playing on the whole floor) and told them to deal one round, then reshuffle. I thought....'what the heck...' and the dealer just rolled their eyes saying 'you probably should leave soon...' I was like I will soon. I got up to $6k and the pit boss said you have to leave right at the table and never to come back or they will 'list me'. I asked the dealer what time they got off, and they said in 10 minutes, so since there were only 4 dealers working at the time, I threw them 2k in chips and said its been fun!. You should have seen the steam come off the pb. Has anyone been thrown out from sheer luck? I only lost one hand the entire run so I wasnt counting cards or anything.....btw this is my first post so glad to be here.....and Ken you inspired me to get into BJ. thank yoU!

well, it was july the 17th around 3 in the afternoon. I have been going to Rainbow ever since, and havent recreated that kinda luck. The pit boss was some older lady with dirty red hair....it would have been embarrasing if someone would have been there besides me. Also, being a pharmacist makes pretty good money and that was the only way I could get my last word in =0) Anyways, i am new to the board and just want to know if any people who go to wendover have this same thing happen?

What casinos do you currently play at, are they accepting applications for new dealers ?

Oh you say your a pharmacist?? Perhaps you should stick to dispensing the drugs, and not taking them.

Yeah ummm since your play was -EV the whole time I would have held on to that 2k, especially since if you keep playing you'll eventually lose the other 4k (I tip like $1 every four hours and my play is always +EV )

Default You tipped two thousand dollars?

...I threw them 2k in chips and said its been fun!.

If the rest of the post wasn't a joke, this line must be. If you wanted to give away two thousand dollars, why not give it to a charity or other good cause, not to dealers who probably hate you anyway?

The $6K win is certainly possible. Assuming no double downs or splits, the patron flat betting $500 would have had to win thirteen of fourteen hands he was dealt. The original poster stated he lost only one hand. Not an everyday occurrence, but certainly not impossible. What is strange that it would take about twenty minutes to deal those fourteen hands. Even with the constant shuffling at Wendover Nugget, it should have taken about five minutes. Maybe being in that dump just seemed like twenty minutes to the original poster.

The pit boss was some older lady with dirty red hair.

There is such a pit person on day shift at Wendover Nugget. She has a bad attitude, and can be quite nasty with little or no provocation.

It does not surprise me that Wendover Nugget would throw out a high-rolling ploppy. The place is a poorly-managed hellhole with almost no customers. It is barely above the Red Gutter among the five Wendover stores.

The three Wendover Peppermill properties are, by contrast, well-managed, with little visible sweat or patron harassment. The Peppermill properties would probably send one of their fine limos to Salt Lake City for this customer, and would be correct to do so.

Default Dr. Stack's friend?

Are you by chance the pharmacist that enabled the good Dr. Stack in SLC? I have heard he was in cahoots with a rich RPH that liked to gamble? Works at a pharmacy that starts with "H"?

Wendover Nugget is playable at the red chip level. It has been the best place for me when it comes to comps. Not every dealer preferential shuffles.
