Default Blood Spilled at Table!

Casino Rama (hour N. of Toronto) yesterday. Play finishing on a hand when the dealer notices something on one of the flop cards. Blood. A small stain, just a globule really. He says, "Let's see everyone's hands." Guy beside me turns his hands over and there is a tiny incision on one of his fingers. He says he handles paper all day and a small papercut must have reopened. Room boss says they have to shut the table down. "What?!?", I say, "It's not like the guy got shot in the face and there is blood spraying wildly all over the place, or that he's trying to mark the cards with his own blood. Just change the deck." Nope, they have to do some kind of complete sanitary spray and wipe-down of the table because we could sue the casino if we caught a disease or infection and knew that the casino saw that there was blood flowing at the table. They send the guy to the nurses station like some kind of stabbing victim and we change to a free table where they can't get the chip rack open. We change again, the whole thing taking close to an hour. Pain in the ass. And it would have been worse if it wasn't about four in the morning when there was a couple of free tables available for our moves. The guy came back with a miniscule bandage on his finger and sucking a lollipop that they must give out to kids they find abandoned in cars in the parking lot.

Thought I'd share. Anyone see any stoppages in play like this?

I'm sure you wouldn't be complaining if you found out he had AIDS

Why? Was the player in question planning on raping everyone soon afterward?

If he was, I don't think disinfecting the table would help much.

Common sense has yet to stop a lawsuit. If I'm the casino, I do the same thing. It's just the way life's gotten. "Frivolous" is not part of many plaintiff's lawyers' vocabularies.

It's hard to blame the casino for taking the table out of use. I don't know how the law is in Canada, but in the US Ocupational Safety laws have strict guidlines for bodily fluids cleanup. It is a safety measure. I don't see why it took an hour to open an empty table though.

I had a little cut open when I was dealing blackjack in Mississippi.

I called the floor over....he took over dealing for 2 minutes while I walked over to the security-cage to get a band-aid.
I came back and resumed dealing.

We did not clear the table or change the decks.

Last summer I spent the night in Jackpot, NV to play the tournament with my dad. (I took 6th and he took 9th out of 75 (with only 6 tables, it was dumb)) After playing the tournament and getting a bit drunk, my dad decided to show me his awesome system for beating craps. So we went over to play craps where I explained why his betting strategy wasn't going to make him a winner.

Didn't matter, we were getting lucky as all hell when all of a sudden the old dude at the end of the table started coughing, then coughed up a giant blood phlem thing right onto the table. He wiped his mouth and then threw the dice. The whole table was staring at him for like what felt like an eternity until the one of the dealers yells for the floor. The shut down the table and everything around it.

They sent the dude somewhere, turns out he had some blood clot thing in his lungs or something, I can't remember as I was wicked drunk. Anyway, it was very gross.
