What are the tokes like in casino X?

feeds@yuku.com (gc999) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:29:17 GMT

Does anyone know of a web site that tracks what tokes are at various casinos? If you're looking for a new place this is obviously one of questions that's at the top of your list.

Kansas Casinos

feeds@yuku.com (professor) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:45:58 GMT

I have been approached about a position with Boot Hill Casino in Dodge City, Kansas. Anyone interested should go to their website "boothillcasino.com" as I understand they are looking for dealers for the anticipated December opening. This is the first of four casinos for Kansas and this one is owned and operated by the State of Kansas. I have no other information...good luck to all.

this happened today, I got off shift and had to post it here:

4 am at a San Diego tribal casino, two players on a little nothing dice game, each playing straight out on either side. Both the players are regulars but only one of them regularly plays dice. The non-dice playing regular (who is a 23 yr old shut in with no social skills who hits on every female within range and gets absolutely nowhere with them) takes the dice, places 10 on the don't pass and guns them across the...

Fort Hood And Myopic Casino Dealers

feeds@yuku.com (pranus) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:22:31 GMT

Not ONE post today in this Off Topic section about the events in Fort Hood, Texas.

This confirms that dealers and sups in casinos are a very myopic bunch, and with a couple of exceptions on this forum, have a self world based upon an extremely narrow range of interests, ie, tokes, Wynn, tokes, sex, tokes, shifts, bosses, and cartoons.

For them, to quote the Disney attraction, it's a small world after all.

Oh well....

"Real" casino poll...

feeds@yuku.com (The Snow Princess) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:22:37 GMT

Here's a few questions for you folks who work in "real" casinos:

Do you keep your own tips, or are they pooled?
What's your current toke rate?
Do you hire on specifically as a BJ dealer, poker dealer, ect or are you cross-trained?
Are you full-time, part-time, or seasonal?
Which game is most enjoyable to deal?
Which game do you hate to deal?
How about xmas bonuses? If so, how much?
How much paid time off do you get?
What kind...

Professional Poker Dealers Handbook

feeds@yuku.com (Psand) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:41:52 GMT

Just got my copy of the new expanded edition of the Professional Poker Dealer's Handbook. While I continue to recommend this book for all poker dealers, this expanded edition is not significantly different than the previous edition. If you already have the book there is no reason to by the latest edition. There is a very small section dealing with No-Limit games (the no limit boom came after the publication of the previous edition). But it is a very small section and is not very...

Ohio Approves 4 Casinos

feeds@yuku.com (snappy) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:06:35 GMT

Yet another state has jumped on board with gaming. Ohio has joined it's neighbors to the north, east, and west by approving 4 land based casinos. The casinos will be based in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and Toledo. They are expecting the casinos to begin opening in 2012, and will be able to offer any games offered in neighboring states.

Jack of all trades/ Keno dealers?

feeds@yuku.com (The Snow Princess) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:55:18 GMT

Ah, the joys of working in a tribal casino.

I work in a small casino. By small, I mean we only have 37 dealers. Total. Great for tokes, since we pool our tips. Unfortunately, our department has the most employees, and when other departments are short handed, they assign a dealer to that area. Dealers have been known to cover the gift shop, the hotel front desk, bussing tables and dishwashing in the restaurant, serving drinks on the floor, emptying ashtrays and pushing in chairs for...

Drinking and gambling

feeds@yuku.com (samiamiam) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:57:13 GMT

Clearly Vegas casinos whom serve free drinks to players have a huge advantage over many casinos that by law can only offer alcohol whereas the patron must pay.

Let's take California for example. Players must pay for drinks. Don't you think that the State would benefit more in the long term if they allowed Las Vegas rules when it comes to drinking in casinos? I don't get it?

Are we having fun?

feeds@yuku.com (samiamiam) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:27:40 GMT

Personally I manufacture my own fun. It's a state of mind. I'm the type of guy that can find a way to have a laugh even if I'm sitting in jail waiting to be bailed out (assuming that having too much fun was the reason I found myself in jail in the first place).....Okay, maybe that is an extreme, I've never been in jail but my point is that I can have fun at work with those who I supervise and customers alike in any given situation, even when things get ugly. A player who has...

box woman asleep, while good crew works hard

feeds@yuku.com (jimmyg) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:41:27 GMT

I work at a undisclosed location, we have a boxWoman that relies on us, the crew, to make sure that the craps area is maintained, the shift has never dealt, and it is obvious in the dual, and regular floor positions. my boxwoman every night just sits there falling asleep and bored, she always wants to crittique us and jump on us when she thinks she can. The other night, the crew made a pact for the following night, we decided that none of us, not a single soul, knew what any prop bet paid....

Harrahs loses $1 billion in third quarter

As much as I despise Harrahs this isn't good. Even with the massive cost cutting they still lost 1 billion. I really don't care about Apollo Management or Texas Pacific Group (private equity firms are vile things) and I sure don't give a rats ass about...

Horny for the people we work with.

Quote: This forum has always been provided for anyone who deals or supervises in a casino to share information and insights into the gaming industry as it effects you.

Okay, in that case lets chat about issues that effect a few of us. Now I understand that many of you would rather chat about how our country is being taken over by corporations, Steve Wynn taking tips from dealers, how to press the 6 & 8 and how to pass drug tests and I also understand that there are many of you...
