The dealer was definitely in the wrong, he was trying to hustle you and that is most certainly against dealer edict... since this incident has passed...I would leave it alone, but if it happens again just let the pit boss know that you don't appreciate being hustled for a tip... EXGM

Actually the casino is the owner of the card. When you sign up you will be asked to acknowledge a disclaimer that the players card is the property of that casino and they have the right to Blah, Blah, Blah...But yeah, That was stealing, FYI EXGM

So you found two dealers that made a mistake....Have you ever dealt yourself? Have you ever stood there for eight hours putting up with obnoxious players, drunks and smoke being blown in your face? Maybe doing the late shift after dealing with your kids all day? I dealt for years and made many...

Players cards This has been going on since players cards were introduced for the slots...I have seen Slot Bums insert their card in an unsuspecting elderly players machine (who is not using a card) while they are not looking or distract them to put it in and collect their points. Lets not leave...

No, Im not Andy Anderson...And last I heard he's not retired but working day cruises down there. Good guess though:) EXGM

Trump Castle What a shame, I worked there when it was Trump Castle and Ivana ran it...It was pretty classy back then. EXGM

You hit that one on the head too...Ive seen people hit the cards with a chip and then immediately after they indent the card, lay the toke down for the dealer ...It's a bit of an improvement than what these guys were allegedly doing...

Ahhh, the stardust...Great sportsbook and Wayne Newton had a steady gig in their showroom...And perhaps I stand corrected...THE Aladdin, How bout the El Rancho, the Frontier, The sport of kings, and partying at the Beach before the casinos had dance clubs... EXGM

When I first started working in vegas the Dunes was still open, so was the Sands, San Remo, Hacienda, Holiday Inn, Desert Inn, Old Aladdin, Maxim, ect. Even the old Landmark was still standing (it had been closed for over a decade). My the town has changed. EXGM

One reason a dealer may not want to advance to a higher position is MONEY. In alot of cases dealers make more than Floorpersons hands down, but this depends on the house and the toke rate. EXGM

Retired from the business in 2004 and moved to a state that does not have gaming, I know I mentioned that on the chat and thought I said that on the intro... EXGM

If Aslan would do research by reading my introduction to this board he will answer his own questions...am I Zacchaeus the tax collector who was instantly converted when he saw Jesus?? No, Oh yeah I havent rode in a while but I think I was on my way down the Chisum Trail when I fell off...not...

Yes, As long as the total hold is 75% per the state, this ensures their revenue... EXGM

Indian Casino I visited an Indian casino with some family in Oklahoma a couple years ago, We were playing and my son who was seventeen at the time had gotten carded and was asked to leave. This is understandable (I had sneaked him into casino's before, many times in fact) anyway he went outside...
