Male, 37

I am a Blackjack and Roulette dealer in Las Vegas at a major Las Vegas Strip property. I have knowledge of all the table games. I have seen and done it all in over 8 years as a table games dealer here in Sin City. I love my job and industry. I wouldn't trade it for the world! Ask me anything and everything. My life is like a real-life Hangover experience. Well, okay it's not but it sounded good didn't it?

Is there still a major mob influence in Las Vegas? (blink twice if the answer is yes)

Asked by henderson over 12 years ago

Not at all. In fact, believe it or not the biggest influence in Vegas politically and monetarily is, Mormons. It has been thay way for a LONG time. Trust me when I tell you this. Harry Reid is a Mormon and he has alot to do with the way the casinos are running here. The Mormon religion is the biggest in the valley and they have tons of cash. Don't be fooled by the mob, however I think Billy Bumpy Knuckles is still out there on the prowl.

What kind of education do you need to become a casino dealer and what are the different positions in casino dealers?

Asked by THeBAron about 9 years ago

You must attend a dealer school, or a college program which is focused on learning the table games. I went to a small dealer school in Vegas but I got lucky with a big break. You'll start off as "extra board" which is part time. You'll get 3-5 days a week and hopefully will be moved to full-time dealer within a couple years.

What are the best times of day/week to find low stakes ($5) blackjack tables?

Asked by ERwin about 12 years ago

I would say Monday-Thursday from about 6am-noon. Try downtown for best results. A lot of casinos down there have $5 blackjack all day.

Hi Wiz, which is the better choice to get a certificate in card dealing from college or independent institutions. I know CSN has a program. And one more question how hard is it to get a position dealing. Im moving there next year.

Asked by DREW over 10 years ago

I think either one is good. In Vegas, it's who you know not what you know. You'll need a contact to get an audition anywhere here. Just go where you can learn a game quickly and get an audition.

Why do casino dealers clap their hands?

Asked by Solidad about 12 years ago

We clear our hands when we get tapped off the game, to show surveillance that our hands are clear of chips.

New Casino in Maryland. Players are taking a lot of shots on the new dealers. What is your best advice for a new dealer to stop the shots? Thanks!!

Asked by QRossi almost 12 years ago

You must let the supervisor know. Players in Vegas get one shot then we shut them down.

Which game do you think the player has better odds in- Blackjack or Spanish 21?

Asked by Mattness about 9 years ago

I don't think Spanish 21 exists in Vegas anymore
