Default Re: Foxwoods Dealing Jobs

Cost of living in that area went up big time when Mohegan doubled the size of the joint and had to hire 5k more people. When I first moved there, you could get a 2br apt for 700/mo in a nice area. Now they are 1k+ for the same places and there arent' that many of them to be had. Housing costs and taxes went skyrocketing in the past 5 years out there. All because the casinos keep expanding and bringing more people into the area from NY, Boston, and Puerto Rico. I tried to own a house up there and my taxes went up 76% in one year. I had to sell. I couldn't afford to live there on 35k a year working full time as a supervisor/dealer.

I do know of some dealers that were quite pissed about dealing baccarat every day, then being jammed into poker for 2 days, then back to Bj, then back to poker again. They do reserve the right to do it. I am sure it doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
