If the player is wrong, see rule #119 May 2000
Dear Mark, That said, in your years of dealing roulette, did you ever have a patron that did not understand the words "no more bets," and then drop a stack of chips over the whole layout to make a reconstruction of the winning wagers more difficult (thank god for surveillance). This happened to me today, for the first time, and all I could do was stand there with my lower jaw dropped to the table thinking obscenities I've never thought before. I was amazed, shocked, annoyed and possibly disappointed at the extreme actions of the player. Unfortunately for me the management decided it was my fault. How? That I will find out later. Any thoughts? No identification please, for job security Front-line casino employees have two rules when it comes to casino patrons. One, the player is always right, and two, if the player is wrong, see rule number one. Not easy when a certain percentage of players have an attention deficit disorder in need of a Ritalin prescription. BUT, didn't you state in your question "not knowing about casinos until you started to work in one"? Like you before casino employment, inexperienced players don't know or understand casino procedures. You, in an untiring way, need to patiently explain the rules to casino guests. Casinos are not in the business of harassing, then alienating, a patron for life. You will never win an argument with casino management on customer service. Their main business is to extract as much money out of the customer as possible and put a smile on his face. Not allow you to wipe the smirk of his kisser. So unless a player is cheating the house on the roulette table — past posting, I suggest you slow down, educate new players on the proper etiquette of play and be more tolerant of unskilled patrons.
Dear Mark, No poker game, video or otherwise, is suit specific on any hand. There are machines and games that offer a special bonus for certain suited hands, but that does not affect duplicate hands on Caribbean stud poker. The correct ruling on identical hands would be a push. Recent Articles
