Why can't we use phones at the tables?

Asked by face man over 12 years ago

There are a few reasons. At my casino, texting is also not allowed. We allow a quick phone call, like "where you at, meet me by the fountain" kind of thing. There is a card counting app for the iPhone (so Ive been told) so that's why texting is prohibited. Also, who is to say when you're talking to someone and playing blackjack, you're not telling the other person what cards are coming out so they are inputting the count into a program on the other end of the line. Supervisors always get suspicious when phones, purses, etc are out on the table. I always wonder why people WANT to talk on the phone as you play. You're having fun. drinking, and beautiful women are walking by and opportunities are everywhere! Actually, keep on your phone playa, I can handle the women :)

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

Asked by ERwin over 11 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.

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

Asked by THeBAron over 8 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.

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 almost 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 over 11 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 almost 9 years ago

I don't think Spanish 21 exists in Vegas anymore
