I am a Blackjack and Roulette dealer in Las Vegas at a major Las Vegas Strip property. I have knowledge of all the table games. I have seen and done it all in over 8 years as a table games dealer here in Sin City. I love my job and industry. I wouldn't trade it for the world! Ask me anything and everything. My life is like a real-life Hangover experience. Well, okay it's not but it sounded good didn't it?
If you're playing blackjack at less than $25 a hand for four hours, it's pretty much impossible to get any kind of comps worth using. Funny thing is, the guys that whine "Where's my free buffet" are the ones playing $10 a hand. If you really want to rack up the comps, play slot machines. However, I'd never play a slot machine lol so in that case, keep your BJ hand abover $25 and you'll find yourself dining on the free and taking your lady to a comped Cirque show.
It's just a window. I do not know what's back there. If I have an ace up, then I will turn the card to the side and feed it into the window then I can see the symbol of a face card. However, if I have a face card and I back it in, I have no idea what the bottom card is, it's just white. Any face card will have markings at the corner of the card, whereas if it's a numbered card, all I see is white.
People think shuffle machines are rigged. 90% of the customers love a manual shuffle and any dealer worth his weight in chips can shuffle an 8 deck shoe in about 90 seconds. Most everyone likes the manual shuffle, trust me. It could speed up the amount of hands that are dealt over the course of time. Keep in mind, those shuffle machines are leased and they are extremely pricy to rent. That's the knowledge I have.
Yes. You're absolutely right. Its the casinos fault 100%. The Nugget should go after the manufacturer of the cards, the players are entitled to the money fair and square. The dealer and supervisors should be fired for lack of attention paid to what was going on.

How do you go about getting your first clients?Only once in thousands of times I've had one discrepancy. On the back of a single card, I noticed a black dot. It was replaced. But never any missing or defective/duplicate cards.
Not at all. In fact, believe it or not the biggest influence in Vegas politically and monetarily is, Mormons. It has been thay way for a LONG time. Trust me when I tell you this. Harry Reid is a Mormon and he has alot to do with the way the casinos are running here. The Mormon religion is the biggest in the valley and they have tons of cash. Don't be fooled by the mob, however I think Billy Bumpy Knuckles is still out there on the prowl.
Generally our rule is 5 minutes. That should give you plenty of time to head to the restroom and take care of your biz. Or, go get money out of the ATM. If it's a busy Fri or Sat night, forget about it lol!
