Mayor - Please place this post in the "Best Posts" page. Great job, Sonny. Zender would be proud.

BJRM should give you all the info you need.

I've put if off for unknown reasons, but it came time to give a final scan and review of my Rob McGarvey Outlook folder before committing it to the digital round file. There's pictures of those beautiful kids and his wife, Rob's new house and the work which was being done, his mother and father...

More thought But spoofing is still an issue. An electronic device can certainly detect the scanner RF emissions outside the betting circle, and it could certainly respond with a power level high enough that the antenna under the circle would be able to detect it, all that is left is to figure...

Some questions... Interesting thread which spawned some questions... 1) How does the table reader distinguish between chips in the betting circle vs. chips outside the betting circle? 2) Do you think the table reader will only read chips placed above it (on the table)? 3) Roughly how far...

A request to the community zg wrote: I sit down with a table to myself and the PCs are falling over themselves to glad-hand me, a lowly greenchipper (at that moment anyway) - she shuffles, I cut, the deck is returned to the discard tray for a notched card insertion... WOW, ITS OVER 75%!! YAAAA...

Eliot, you still have a TC conversion if I recall. Correct?

What's going on with your joint putting in 6:5 SD? Did you speak your mind on this issue? Just checking. toddler

Why would you stop at $75? Hi Anthony, If the conditions are good and you're not tired or overextending your stay, why would you leave just because you're up by a specific amount? Will you stop if you're down $75? There are some who subscribe to the belief that you should quit while you're...

OPC... The company I work for has a tremendous amount of respect for the ideas of our front-line staff. This has to be encouraging and, based on what I've read so far about casino management, an exception rather than the rule. If this is the case, could you and your peers lobby hard for 3:2...

Want to make sure I understand... OPC, You mentioned 6:5 SD was coming to your 'burg and you have no say as to the 6:5 payout on naturals. From your post, I gather *you* can implement rule changes. This is more curiosity than anything else... who actually sets the rules for blackjack games? I...

Subterfuge and Obfuscation Puzzle JWP/OPC, Thanks very much to both of your responses. If we can keep this going a bit further, I would appreciate it. JWP, your insight is correct when mentioning DV. Offline, DV provided some very interesting information, borderline esoteric, beyond counting...

Lamer Cup This could be a dated procedure. I'm told that pits used to use a small cup where small clear chips were added signifying how much was dropped. All the supe had to do was check the cup to determine the drop amount, kind of like marker chips. I've seen lamer chips used to hold spots...

Nope Not funny money. Again, I'm not attempting to do anything illegal. That's not my schtick. Just trying to understand how casinos work internally, where information flows, how fast, that sort of thing. In this case, I'm attempting to determine how long it is before...

Why I want to know Simple. Surveillance. Don't they give this process high priority? Just looking for holes in surveillance interest on the tables. For instance, if a pit has three tables with guys chunking heavy green to black, and all of a sudden it time for a drop box change, well what does...
