The dealer will turn the deck upside down or in a position that the players can not always see the top of the deck.
Its not as big a deal in a casino than it is in a home game... If the dealer in a home game is rolling the deck on a consistant basis, leave. But it is something that should not done in either case. |

They know they aren't suppsoed to do it as it threatens the integrity of the game and they think so little of the people paying them that they will do it anyway. It shows laziness on the part of the dealer for doing it and on the part of the room management for not requiring that the dealers hold the deck correctly. |

Lots of people cashing in on the poker boom all over the place... |

i have to disagree randy. if i were a poker cheat, i'd much rather be doing it in a home game. lets face it, they're cheating, i don't think they mind stealing from people they know, vs stealing from perfect strangers. and they don't have video cameras on them at a home game.

I could not tell you how many times I've seen a dealer drop a card or more off the top of the deck while rolling it. It's laziness and not allowed. DONT FCKING DO IT DEALERS! Refer to my prior post regarding things such as this that I mentioned last week. I have heard (from more than 1 reliable source) that post has gotten around some management types at various rooms here in town.

Ballys? where the poker management has never even worked in poker before? I do know some management people who have never even worked in poker before frequent but never post here. LOL...heres a funny one...there will be a shift supervisor in a room in town who has never worked poker also...but will be taking care of things as soon as they are finished with dealing school!! GAWD LV Casino managements suck. NO CLUE. |
