Default News from Foxwoods

http://www.norwichbulletin.com/news/x1086966238

I'm not sure that the union is going to win at this point. Foxwoods has been pumping non-American (mostly off-the-boat mainland Chinese) dealers onto those tables as hard as they can in the past couple of months, and I suspect they might be too afraid of what will happen to them if management gets angry and won't vote to certify.

Little do they realize what's going to happen to them after the vote, either way. Games have been slowed down on account of this, but no corresponding increase in dealer errors.

I've also noticed a few extra suits in the pit, and fewer waitresses even still.

Default Did I read that right?

.....John O'Brian, President of Foxwoods? That's not exactly an authentic Injun name. Shouldn't it be John O'Bison or something?

So, slower dealers, and slower drink service?

Doesn't sound like a profitable situation for foxwoods.

Wow, the article states that foxwoods dealers earn between $40-50k, plus foxwoods pays 92% health insurance. Not bad for a resort in the middle of nowhere in eastern CT. Dealer errors? I think as a whole foxwoods has the most dealer errors for casinos in nj, ny, ct (whether it's in dealing, misdealing, paying bets when they should be pushes or losses). Slow dealers. If a player has time to kill and wants wampum points, these tables could be advantageous.
