Re: Props and check-raising

Excuse my ignorance, but do "major" casinos regularly have dealers who are also playing in the game they deal?
No one finds this a little wierd? I mean personally I wouldn't care, but I can't imagine Joe public thinking this is normal. Nor can I imagine card rooms wanting their dealers playing at the same time.

It is ignorance, but that just means you havent been around the business much. No offense. MOST real cardrooms allow dealers to play. It's not wierd. It's been a part of the business for many many years. Normally they must conduct themselves in a proper manner, but checkraiseing should not be taken from thier options on playing a hand.
BTW Chipr....the shoe does not have "props" by the true definition of the word. I would just call them dealers playing in a game. And screw the nit.
BTW...as a floor you may want to pull him asside (the nit) and speak to him about this....maybe he'll back off, but who knows.

I already stated I'm ignorant about this, but still my question remains unanswered. How does having dealers play as well benefit the casino? I can imagine so many bad scenarios (dealer being hot & breaking somone and being accused of cheating, dealer losing a big hand and tilting off at a customer, etc.). So in some way the casinos must benefit more than these drawbacks for them to be in favor it. It the rake the dealer contributes that worthwhile?
