Interesting Story

Yes, supposed to be a loud and clear $800 out...she didn't even look his way. She was making mistakes all night and it was clear she was tired and wanting to leave, kept looking at her watch.

As the Rose story was told,in Casino magazine, the mistake was recognized almost immediately. It was on a multi bet card and Rose was paid as if he had won all the bets, instead of perhaps 5 of 7 or 5 of 8.
He was confronted in the area and refused to admit he was paid improperly.

It's a magical stratgy that doesn't involve counting. I wish I hadn't mentioned it now. Thanks Rhino.

C'mon, share the the magic!! zg

That sounds like an unfair practice to me. Suppose I get paid improperly like that at a BJ table, and two hours later the suits come up to me an tell me to give it back. Being I don't have access to the tapes, I basically have to take their word for it. That makes it too easy for casinos to shake down winning players, and there are a lot of people who would just hand the money over out of intimidation. :eyepatch:

Is there any kind of a time limit for casinos to request a mispay back?

I've seen casinos pull that up to 90-min later at Calif Indian clubs. zg

Not being an attorney but I do not think there is really a time limit and if there was it might be months or years and not hours.
I have/had family members in table game management and many times dealer errors are caught upstairs but because of the time delay involved the pit might just be notified and do nothing about it. This happens especially when the tape is being reviewed for whatever reason.
When caught immediately it is easy for the pit to walk up to the player and explain that he was paid on a loss or push on the previous hand and he can even have the dealer (dealer had better have put the cards in the discard pile correctly) re-create the hand as proof.
The problem comes when it is several hands later or a new shoe. The pit knows that there is a strong chance that the player will say he does not remember, true or not, and now it is just his word against the eye's word.
So, when it is an unimportant amount of money they just forget it, especially if they are smart.

In the case of Pete Rose and the amount of money he was capable of losing in a casino. $2,500, if caught late should have been forgotten (the dealer will get punished though) but if was caught immediately, Rose should have returned it with the lame, "I did not notice it" excuse we all use.

Seems to me that replaying hands would cost the casino more in not dealt hands than the pay out unless of course the mistake was exceptionally large,

If they ever do say a hand was misplayed I suppose you ought to make them replay to verify and just in general to be a pain in the ass. I suppose it's also possible they won't be able to replay properly.

Let us say the previous hand was misplayed. If the dealer placed the cards in proper order in the discard tray it takes only a few seconds to re-create the previous hand. The amount of time is really insignificant especially if this is a rare occurance. I agree with you if they had a dealer who constantly made mistakes but in that case the proper solution for the casino is to replace the dealer.
