Fun fact. In Australia there is a law that makes a casino or club (places you can gamble here) have to make it so all patrons have access to the time. So where ever you’re sitting in the casino you have to be able to see a clock (they’re on all slot machines, on all walls, everywhere) good law.
Also, this is mainly because Australia owns around 3/4 of the worlds slot machines. Which is insane too actually visualise. Also money spent on drugs alcohol and tobacco (most addictive things here in Australia) combined, equals the same amount of money spent on slot machines every year.
To clarify, as a Vegas local, most dealers don’t stay at minimum wage for long. Most of the big casinos have consistent system raises every 6-12 months
@@pegleg2959 I agree. I get the other side as well, but I tip if I’m winning even with small wins. Especially if you get a fun dealer that makes the game fun even if you get smoked.
I mean you'd kind of have to right? Temptation to cheat on minimum wage gotta be high... give em a year to make sure they can be trusted but 5? 10? People gonna start turning
i went to a casino about a year and a half ago when i had just turned 18, put 100, got it up to 400, lost everything, found 160$ in my pocket, managed to get it up to like 600 something so i repay everything and get off with 300-400 profit and decided that i would never gamble ever again because it wasn’t gonna go better than that lol
and if you look at it that way, he's wrong. We don't make minimum wage, we make much more. They DO pay us a minimal wage, which in my area is less than minimum wage.
If you're a card dealer, it's better to make minimum wage, or under minimum wage, and be able to keep your tips. Our dealers, after tips, were some of the highest paid employees in the casino.
Yeah? Well tell 3 of the Sportsbook entities that limited my bets to only 100 dollars a game. A couple of them told me straight up I wasn’t allowed to bdt with them at all anymore. Oh and limited my live getting to $1 max.
“Always tip your dealer. They make minimum wage” “We’re gonna pay them awful salaries so YOU have to pay them for us” Edit: For anyone who supports tipping dealers, why don’t you tip the cashier when you get groceries as well? They make minimum wage too.
The dealer must have been smoking hot and the player was a high roller who was trying to impress her, hoping for some "quality time" with the dealer after her shift. I have seen similar situations working as a dealer in AC many years ago with varying degrees of success on the part of the high roller. They tend to be less than thrilled when their advances are spurned, thereby leaving them with a bruised ego and a very salty disposition towards everyone.
The dice bit of Ocean's 13 is definitely out of their hands - the story is that, they infiltrated into the dice manufacturing facility and altered how the dice were made altogether. I remember because there was a sub-plot that the dice factory workers (in Mexico) went on strike and to alleviate that issue - they were thinking of just paying the workers fairly which they thought were going to be tens of millions of dollars, but turns out it was just a few tens of thousands. Much like them, the billion dollar gambling industry should pay their workers fairly.
''If you are going to rob something, go rob somewhere else, don't rob a casino'' I feel like robbing a casino is like one of the most morally defendable robberies to do

@@KillerLettuce Said like someone that doesn't understand the intricacies of a real poker game. What's boring to you can be fascinating to someone else and vice versa.
Yeah the dealer talking really felt awkward in Casino Royale, he was really talking to the viewers of the movie (those that have never watched a live game of poker), and not at all to the players. The showdown manipulation of the players cards felt embarrassing. There's just one thing that didn't shock me: the accumulation of super unlikely hands. That was pretty consistent with the common accumulation of super unlikely events in any James Bond movie.
Rich people don't play for money? They play for imagine? And what gives a better imagine in the entire casino than handing all your winning to the dealer? Little brainwork, guys, please
Not that unusual when millionaires play. As Jussi was saying, they play for image or prestige. Betting hundreds of thousands and tipping tens of thousands makes you look rich, powerful, and generous. People like you. That's the game when you already are worth more money than the game will ever see.
@@evanjones8142 I don’t waste my money on casinos but if I did I wouldn’t care. For one if I’m gambling I already have money I’m willing to throw away so yea I’m fine with paying more for a luxury service to ensure the employees are being paid what they are worth and they aren’t banking on someone at the table to be nice. I as the customer shouldn’t be responsible for the paychecks of the employees nor should I be guilt tripped into thinking I should be the one who should get them paid properly.
Having lived in Nevada my entire life and becoming very familiar with casinos, my advise would be to avoid them like a plague. They’re actually extremely depressing places when you understand everything that’s going on around you. The house indeed, always wins.
Yeah, I've always heard that too. Same with strip clubs/gentleman's clubs. In movies, they're often glamorized. But in reality, it's just a depressing place full of despair and desperation.

@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid I don't know casinos are robbed every year. I mean both banks and casino robberies have low success rates but every year at least one casino gets robbed and they are not caught.

Cheating is by passing the rules. I have yet to ever go into a casino where they do not play by the agreed upon rules. People who cheat are the ones breaking the rules. Edit: and the odds in their favor doesn't make it rigged. That is the rules, that you, as the player, agreed to. Don't like the rules? Don't play.
@boulderguy888 why? It’s not a scam lol “the odds are all on the house” is a common expression...people know statistically in the long run the casino will have the upper hand, but they also know any given night they could get lucky. And they make the decision to go knowing those two things.
@boulderguy888 why?Lol I have a hard time believing most people actually believe that. It’s not like it’s a difficult concept. People understand that it’s the casino who sets the rules and they are there to make a profit.
If anyone wants to see how a card counting team works, in real life, some students and a professor at MIT created a card counting club and applied what they learned in real casinos in Vegas. At the end, they really did get kicked out of casinos, had their names in black books, there really was disguises involved, and so on. There is a documentary about the entire "MIT card counters" on TH-cam here if anyone is interested. I enjoyed it.
The fact that they literally will not allow you to improve your odds against the house through intelligence and observational skills is why I have no interest in ever gambling.
That's exactly what I heard, most casinos actually encourage card counting vs discouraging it because most people think they can but can't (and often that offsets the ones that can, and if a casino gets a reputation for refusing card counters or treating them harshly then they can end up losing that revenue over the one or two that can actually pull it off).
no they don‘t. Professional card counters are backed off regularly. They even back off people who are not counting cards (when they fit a certain bet spread) because casino's are paranoid. These guys are real dirtbags. They know they have an edge and will eventually win the players money… but when some one is actually winning, they throw them out
@@jouglexander They are real dirtbags. They even have a database which they share among most casinos in the country. They take advantage of weakminded people, but when someone is better than them they back out and throw him out.
Why do you think there are such strict regulations when it comes to building stairs in places where there will be visitors? It's all because of these people constantly falling down the stairs in casinos.
It always bugs me when casinos allow players to calculate odds based on the cards that've been played in poker, but won't allow it in blackjack, when it's the same strategy. Feels a bit dirty to say 'yeah, you can play well when it's against other players, just not when it's against us'.
It is quite simple: When you play poker, you play against other players and the casino just provides the infrastructure. When you play blackjack you play AGAINST the casino.
@@anradhofficial4652 he is stating your comparison is not valid. They are two completely different games. If they did allow you to count cards in blackjack then casinos would stop offering it.
Should have done "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." Although technically it isn't really a casino, and they did use a very similar setup to cheat at Poker in it to the guy cheating at blackjack in Casino. Still... that movie is legendary. Also Rain Man would have been a good one to do for sure.
Lol that was classic. Got a great laugh there. Even in AC, it is an open secret that some dealers deal games off-site, never minding the many public films about such places all over.
it's happened to me. one night six drunk men confronted me over a drink spill and the casino kicked us all out - but also banned me while the aggressors werent. I learned they had me marked as a counter and were looking for a reason to get rid of me. five years later I wrote a letter to them asking to re enter and they allowed me but they give me deep heat if I go into the high limit blackjack room.

Concerning Casino Royale criticisms: I think many of the inaccuracies he's breaking down are for the benefit of the audience, who need instructed on what's going on (dealer talking) or to build tension (the lower hand guys revealing first.)
It is still bad filmmaking because it would NEVER HAPPEN. Imagine a scene in a movie about politics where one senator tells another "I have a meeting in the White House" and the other says "Oh, that is where the President lives" just for the benefit of the audience. Just no.
The difference between Casino Royale and The White House is the White House is easily recognized ,while on the other hand most people don't know the rules of "No limit texas hold in"( the game James Bond was playing)
Solid info. I’m a (former) professional poker player, and I’ve also been backed off at every casino in Vegas for card counting in BJ. Their facial recognition tech is sick. It got to the point where I would enter a casino I had never previously visited, sit down at the BJ table, and get backed off after 5 min before I even got started.
"A casino boss calling other people scammers and criminals is irony at its best" How so? Anyboy with half a brain, who goes into a casino, understands that the house has an edge. Otherwise it wouldn't be sustainable.
Counting cards. It’s not illegal it’s not cheating it’s using every advantage you have to your benefit. The way I see it if you are smart enough to count into multiple decks and keep it straight in mind and you’re not doing anything to cheat then you are good to go. How can being extremely smart be considered cheating.
RE:Janes Fair. Casinos hate smart people. They want to kick out anyone who is winning. Just like insurance companies who don't want to pay out any claims, or charge you for it.
@@sherpaderpdingo3405 nah, they're just in the business of allowing you to risk money against the odds. If everyone won they'd go out of business the same as if an insurance company had all clients get into wrecks on the same day that they had to pay out...they can't afford it.
Counting isn't cheating imo, but working with other people? Imagine the referee and half of the opponents team are on your side in football or soccer.....

I thought same thing, but HE doesnt pay them, he's simply their boss. I also googled (not his salary persay but casino directors) and he's only making 45-85k a year. Which I thought is amazingly low as well for the amount of money he's directly managing. I'd bet some of the high end dealers could possibly make more than he does if they've got the right personality.
A) he most likely has no say in why they make b) they probably make quite a bit off tips. It’s like many servers I know. They don’t want to switch to a European system where they get a higher hourly wage with no tips because they make quite a bit once tips are added in. I usually play at $5-10 tables and I tip several dollars every time I get a good hand. You consider that they rotate to higher tables multiply that over the shift and the number of days and they’re doing pretty good
@@passivepipes2519 director of casino ops probably 125-150k/yr on the high end. Guarantee his best dealers making way more than that.

And while 125k might be a lot in some areas of the country, def about average in Vegas. Report came out that says you'd need a 300k/yr salary to afford a house in SF, so take it for what it's worth
Why don't you open a casino and pay your employees well above market rate then? Never could understand why people considered themselves morally superior cause they'd be nicer.... With someone else's money.
Actually, in the Yu-GI-Oh! manga, Yugi battles the rare hunter Arkana and describes a few tricks he suspects Arkana of to manipulate his first hand. some of them are wearing special contact lenses or waxing your cards, as it is described in this video
casinos: we do literally everything in our power to take your money and make you addicted to gambling, but god forbid we pay our ground level employees a living wage
The idea that they'll kick you out because they think you might be thinking about the game too much is so bizarre. And then the fact that it's illegal in some places. I imagine that was a law that may have had some financial incentives behind it when it was written....
It's because the casino has a plethora of game types and playing just one is like going to Disneyland to go on the Matterhorn multiple times and leaving without touching any other ride with the full park access ticket you purchase. Sure, you make a lot of money with that one game if you're good at it but it becomes suspicious after a while or it becomes the equivalent of loitering as much as a casino could consider it such. The key to not being kicked out is to go explore other games then come back to the game you were originally making money on. Repeat several times with various time differences between leaving and returning (and try to go to another table). It makes them less focused on you.
It's because the casino always has the better odds even if it's just 51%. It's not a game of chance because anything you do to tilt it in your favor is penalized as a criminal offense.
@@MrPiotrV Disney itself wouldn't care but the park employees would get very annoyed seeing you multiple times ONLY on one ride. Now would they kick you out, probably not but their opinion of you will be very low and if they feel your insistence on riding one ride will decline your Disney park experience, they can do what's called a soft ban which is they won't let you on a specific ride for the remainder of the day. Everything else will be open to you still. Now, if you do the same one ride only thing on another ride, they can just ban you for a while. It's so rare that it never really happens but it has happened to a few people, one of whom was my cousin's friend who kept going on Splash Mountain over and over and he had a soft ban happen to him.
@@Tigressa101 it is not suspicious at all, you have no idea what you’re talking about, most people go to casinos to play one game in particular.. tons of people sit at tables for hours.. you have no idea what a casino is like
The casino goes out of its way to NOT cheat. The game odds are in their favor, it would make no sense to risk the guarantee of winning on something like cheating. The casino ALWAYS wins in the long term, not due to cheating but due to players choosing to play a game with less chance of winning than of losing.
@@Diabolicgoat I guess the interesting question is what a casino will do when they suspect a scam, but can't figure out how it's done and who is involved. Will they resort to cheating themselves?
I had a friend that works security for a casino. He told me that if you count cards and don't get confronted, it's because the casino didn't care because you were making them so much money.
Always love the Hollywood depiction of the Surveillance Rooms. I was fortunate enough to get a tour of one in Atlantic City. It was relatively small, poorly lit, and with just two personnel to watch all the cameras. What was interesting is it had cameras in it also.

We had to accompanied by a member of the New Jersey State Gaming Commission, just to be in the room.
Why not allow dealers who manage to impress customers such that they get tips to get paid more? What you propose pulls everyone down to the same level, makes everything bland. People arent the same or equal as they say and shound not get paid the same.
This guy is great, I would like to hear him talk about gambling addiction in the casinos and what really common things he notices about people with those types of addictions, like he was saying chasing the money, counting it before you bet, it would be a cool interview cause he did a good job of being professional but also being open
Funny how these billion dollar casinos encourage their customers to tip the dealer because they are to cheap to pay more than min wage. I understand restaurants who are owned by a family, but a billion dollar casino can afford to lay more than min wage.
I love how the "casino boss" tells clients to tip the dealer because he makes minimum wage, when the whole point of a casino is making those millions of dollars off of the clients in the first place. How about the casino pays the dealer properly in the first place ? Why is it left to the clients to pay them ?
this makes them super-nice to guests (same principle as with waiting staff).

What I always wonder, how well do they catch card counters? For example, in poker the goal isn't to win every chip, it's more like the goal is to win 55+ big blinds for every 50 you lose. If someone is smart and fast enough to count cards, surely they can count the odds to where they are 'above average' lucky without being constantly lucky? Like, win 6 out of 10 hands, or even 3 out of 10 but bet a lot bigger on one of the 3 winners? Or keep count, lose 8/10, fake tilt, bet all your remaining chips (55% of starting chips) on a hand you know will hit. Stopping card counters doesn't seem noble at all, but I also doubt they could. I'm sure they stop some, but surely not all.

I’ve worked in a casino for more than a decade. The secret is to have fun. Don’t go into a casino thinking you’re gonna walk out with a $1,000,000. If you win a few hundred, or even a few thousand... just walk away. Don’t put that money back in thinking you’re gonna win even more money. Use that money to have a nice dinner and a good time at the clubs.
In the Rounders scene, this is called a cooler, not a bad beat. A bad beat is when your opponent is the underdog when the betting occurs but ends up winning the hand. A cooler is when you have a strong hand (supposedly unfoldable) ultimately losing to a stronger hand.

The dealer must have been smoking hot and the player was a high roller who was trying to impress her, hoping for some "quality time" with the dealer after her shift. I have seen similar situations working as a dealer in AC many years ago with varying degrees of success on the part of the high roller. They tend to be less than thrilled when their advances are spurned, thereby leaving them with a bruised ego and a very salty disposition towards everyone.

The dice bit of Ocean's 13 is definitely out of their hands - the story is that, they infiltrated into the dice manufacturing facility and altered how the dice were made altogether. I remember because there was a sub-plot that the dice factory workers (in Mexico) went on strike and to alleviate that issue - they were thinking of just paying the workers fairly which they thought were going to be tens of millions of dollars, but turns out it was just a few tens of thousands. Much like them, the billion dollar gambling industry should pay their workers fairly.

Yeah the dealer talking really felt awkward in Casino Royale, he was really talking to the viewers of the movie (those that have never watched a live game of poker), and not at all to the players. The showdown manipulation of the players cards felt embarrassing. There's just one thing that didn't shock me: the accumulation of super unlikely hands. That was pretty consistent with the common accumulation of super unlikely events in any James Bond movie.

@boulderguy888 why? didnt say they were cheatingg UNLESS YOU ARE ON A TABLE everything is utterly rigged
Cheating is by passing the rules.
I have yet to ever go into a casino where they do not play by the agreed upon rules.
People who cheat are the ones breaking the rules.
Edit: and the odds in their favor doesn't make it rigged. That is the rules, that you, as the player, agreed to. Don't like the rules? Don't play.
@boulderguy888 why? It’s not a scam lol “the odds are all on the house” is a common expression...people know statistically in the long run the casino will have the upper hand, but they also know any given night they could get lucky. And they make the decision to go knowing those two things.
@boulderguy888 why?Lol I have a hard time believing most people actually believe that. It’s not like it’s a difficult concept. People understand that it’s the casino who sets the rules and they are there to make a profit.
It's only cheating if they misrepresent the odds of the game e.g. if the roulette ball has a different probability of landing on certain numbers

no they don‘t. Professional card counters are backed off regularly. They even back off people who are not counting cards (when they fit a certain bet spread) because casino's are paranoid.

Guy who pays his staff minimum wage: "Make sure to tip your dealers".
I thought same thing, but HE doesnt pay them, he's simply their boss. I also googled (not his salary persay but casino directors) and he's only making 45-85k a year. Which I thought is amazingly low as well for the amount of money he's directly managing. I'd bet some of the high end dealers could possibly make more than he does if they've got the right personality.
A) he most likely has no say in why they make b) they probably make quite a bit off tips. It’s like many servers I know. They don’t want to switch to a European system where they get a higher hourly wage with no tips because they make quite a bit once tips are added in. I usually play at $5-10 tables and I tip several dollars every time I get a good hand. You consider that they rotate to higher tables multiply that over the shift and the number of days and they’re doing pretty good
"Guy who pays his minimum-wage employees the value of the job..."
Fixed it.
@@syreallewyatt5048 He directs a very nice casino in Vegas, he's definitely making hundreds of thousands of dollars minimum.
@@passivepipes2519 director of casino ops probably 125-150k/yr on the high end. Guarantee his best dealers making way more than that. Fun fact: highest paid employees at most high end resorts are the banquet and restaurant servers, with exception of maybe the GM.
And while 125k might be a lot in some areas of the country, def about average in Vegas. Report came out that says you'd need a 300k/yr salary to afford a house in SF, so take it for what it's worth
Dealers make minimun wage, so make sure to tip them.
HOW ABOUT YOU PAY A LIVABLE WAGE THEN
Preach

….because casinos are a shining example of peak moral and ethical values and standards 😂
Why don't you open a casino and pay your employees well above market rate then?
Never could understand why people considered themselves morally superior cause they'd be nicer.... With someone else's money.
*professional yu-gi-oh player reacts to the yu-gi-oh tv show*
Unfortunately no part of the show is realistic in any way
Actually, in the Yu-GI-Oh! manga, Yugi battles the rare hunter Arkana and describes a few tricks he suspects Arkana of to manipulate his first hand. some of them are wearing special contact lenses or waxing your cards, as it is described in this video
@@olegtrushin6220 true I wonder who they would possibly pick for that. So many good options
@@zorome8894 stacking isn’t that prevalent of an issue to say it’s part of the actual game but sure
I'd die laughing if the person who talks about You-Gi-Oh says Yami Yugi's Heart of the Cards is a distraction so he can cheat. Lol.
casinos: we do literally everything in our power to take your money and make you addicted to gambling, but god forbid we pay our ground level employees a living wage
They get paid w tips
Between their salary and tips they make much more money than you'll ever earn in your life, loser
I don’t see the connection between those two things
This man is the definition of flying under the radar, he had to really think before saying some stuff.
The idea that they'll kick you out because they think you might be thinking about the game too much is so bizarre. And then the fact that it's illegal in some places. I imagine that was a law that may have had some financial incentives behind it when it was written....
It's because the casino has a plethora of game types and playing just one is like going to Disneyland to go on the Matterhorn multiple times and leaving without touching any other ride with the full park access ticket you purchase. Sure, you make a lot of money with that one game if you're good at it but it becomes suspicious after a while or it becomes the equivalent of loitering as much as a casino could consider it such. The key to not being kicked out is to go explore other games then come back to the game you were originally making money on. Repeat several times with various time differences between leaving and returning (and try to go to another table). It makes them less focused on you.
It's because the casino always has the better odds even if it's just 51%. It's not a game of chance because anything you do to tilt it in your favor is penalized as a criminal offense.
@@Tigressa101 That analogy is a bit weird. Why would Disneyland care if you ride the Matterhorn too much?
@@MrPiotrV Disney itself wouldn't care but the park employees would get very annoyed seeing you multiple times ONLY on one ride. Now would they kick you out, probably not but their opinion of you will be very low and if they feel your insistence on riding one ride will decline your Disney park experience, they can do what's called a soft ban which is they won't let you on a specific ride for the remainder of the day. Everything else will be open to you still. Now, if you do the same one ride only thing on another ride, they can just ban you for a while. It's so rare that it never really happens but it has happened to a few people, one of whom was my cousin's friend who kept going on Splash Mountain over and over and he had a soft ban happen to him.
@@Tigressa101 it is not suspicious at all, you have no idea what you’re talking about, most people go to casinos to play one game in particular.. tons of people sit at tables for hours.. you have no idea what a casino is like
I like how his head is always tilted at an angle. Makes him good at spotting cheaters probably.
I love how he says, "hundreds of ways a person can cheat." He doesn't consider himself or the casino cheating.
It's not cheating if you make the rules
The casino goes out of its way to NOT cheat. The game odds are in their favor, it would make no sense to risk the guarantee of winning on something like cheating. The casino ALWAYS wins in the long term, not due to cheating but due to players choosing to play a game with less chance of winning than of losing.
@@Diabolicgoat I guess the interesting question is what a casino will do when they suspect a scam, but can't figure out how it's done and who is involved. Will they resort to cheating themselves?
I had a friend that works security for a casino. He told me that if you count cards and don't get confronted, it's because the casino didn't care because you were making them so much money.
Always love the Hollywood depiction of the Surveillance Rooms. I was fortunate enough to get a tour of one in Atlantic City. It was relatively small, poorly lit, and with just two personnel to watch all the cameras. What was interesting is it had cameras in it also. The Surveillance Division watches the gaming action, but the Security Division watches everything else, including Surveillance. We had to accompanied by a member of the New Jersey State Gaming Commission, just to be in the room.
“Tip your dealers”
... pay your staff better
It's illegal to tip dealers in some jurisdictions.
@@JinKee yeah honestly sounds like bribery in a casino context especially
I could be wrong but i dont think he specifically sets pay grades, i think that goes higher than him.
Yup. When the house wins a hand in blackjack..do they tip the dealer? No
Why not allow dealers who manage to impress customers such that they get tips to get paid more? What you propose pulls everyone down to the same level, makes everything bland. People arent the same or equal as they say and shound not get paid the same.
"We do not use chainsaws in the backroom...uh..ANYMORE!"
I love that line.
This guy is great, I would like to hear him talk about gambling addiction in the casinos and what really common things he notices about people with those types of addictions, like he was saying chasing the money, counting it before you bet, it would be a cool interview cause he did a good job of being professional but also being open
Funny how these billion dollar casinos encourage their customers to tip the dealer because they are to cheap to pay more than min wage. I understand restaurants who are owned by a family, but a billion dollar casino can afford to lay more than min wage.
I love how the "casino boss" tells clients to tip the dealer because he makes minimum wage, when the whole point of a casino is making those millions of dollars off of the clients in the first place.
How about the casino pays the dealer properly in the first place ? Why is it left to the clients to pay them ?
I mean he's a pit boss, not the people who own the place
this makes them super-nice to guests (same principle as with waiting staff). I don't know about post-covid, but traditionally the west coast attracts every good-looking young person in the US, and while they wait for their big break they do these min-wage jobs... supply outstrips demand (again, post covid things may have changed!) doing this sort of job as a lifer for min wage, yeah, that's a grim notion
@@DrWhom The only principle is that the business offloads having to pay real wages to their workers onto the customers. The "it makes them nice" is just a post-hoc justification. You know who's also nice? People who are happy at their job.
Stop trying to live in a perfect world and get back to reality, or just complain about everything that you think isn’t perfect in life.. loser
@@DrWhom I don't know, man. I've spent a LOT of time at the tables in Vegas, Tahoe and Reno and I've never noticed a tendency for the dealers to be "good-looking young people".
This was actually super informative ❤
“Underground casinos exist. I’m not aware of any”
Seems legit
They are actually pretty rare this days, they were more common during the mob rule.
But a good comment-made me laught

It's amusing that in his mind, stopping card counters is some kind of noble act.
What I always wonder, how well do they catch card counters? For example, in poker the goal isn't to win every chip, it's more like the goal is to win 55+ big blinds for every 50 you lose. If someone is smart and fast enough to count cards, surely they can count the odds to where they are 'above average' lucky without being constantly lucky? Like, win 6 out of 10 hands, or even 3 out of 10 but bet a lot bigger on one of the 3 winners? Or keep count, lose 8/10, fake tilt, bet all your remaining chips (55% of starting chips) on a hand you know will hit. Stopping card counters doesn't seem noble at all, but I also doubt they could. I'm sure they stop some, but surely not all.
Did he say it was a noble act? I never heard him say that but maybe he did.
@@bararobberbaron859 He explained how they catch card counters.
They count themselves and see if the bets correspond with count.
It’s his job. Can’t begrudge a man for doing his job. It’s all part of the game.
@@jw870206 yes I can. And yes I do.
counting cards.... so basically "if we can't take advantage of you like some regular shlub and you're too good at this game we don't want you here."
yes
They have full right to refuse service to anyone. Ultimately you pay for casino entertainment via losing money.
@@kutaplex that's why i don't gamble. it's a fool's pursuit.
@@tankbxy7609 I don't gamble cause it's just not fun (other than poker). You either have games, where your decision doesn't matter (roulette etc) or there is a single best decision for every situation (blackjack).

Once upon a time I used to be in a regular poker game with coworkers on Fridays. The biggest thing ever was the one time I drew 4 sixes, and lost because the other guy had a royal flush. That piece of confidence cost me $600.
I worked at a Casino and a Dance-club attached, we had secret security dressed as civilians. Mostly big guys. Their job was, if the Casino didn't want direct confrontation, they would send those guys out to start a confrontation / argument with the party they wanted to kick out - hence using them as ploys to get rid of certain customers without arousing direct suspicion.
What kind of arguments did they start
It started with "No, YOUR mom was sleeping in MY bed!"
That sounds sleazy
@@joshberkin5567 knocking over someone's drink will do it. simple stuff
This is probably one of the best breakdowns that I've seen. Used a lot of terminology that I didn't know and explained it. Oh and he definitely has seen people "accidentally" fall down some stairs
"We do not use chainsaws in the backroom anymore." Uh, that's a circular saw, sir.
Guess they still use circular saws huh

What’s your point? Why would you even waste time typing that? Lol.
@DaFuzzBearYT hey as long that it still chops right? at least they didn't resort to Machetes or Axes yet which can be tiredsome since it's manual
The Horseshoe on Fremont, Downtown LV security was well known for its "Techniques." Chainsaws would totally be to send a message. My boss would do it. I only worked for him for a few months and didn't even know that running numbers for Big Vic in concert with Vacarro at MGM sports book. In '86, cell phones didn't exist. There was invariably a bank of phone books at the exits and we carried pagers if Big Vic had new info to respond to.
The middle is what they desire
The secret to always win at the casino is: DON'T EVER ENTER INTO A CASINO!
Having worked at a casino I can tell you, I won often. Tip me baby. No but on a real note play 50 bucks play quarters and have a good time don’t try to win your mortgage or bet your car. Just play a fifty you’ll be playing longer then a Marvel movie.
I’ve worked in a casino for more than a decade. The secret is to have fun. Don’t go into a casino thinking you’re gonna walk out with a $1,000,000. If you win a few hundred, or even a few thousand... just walk away. Don’t put that money back in thinking you’re gonna win even more money. Use that money to have a nice dinner and a good time at the clubs.
@@dinoflagella4185 not sure how someone has fun losing their money....

who needs casinos when we have bitcoin? old people i guess
"We underpay our staff... so make sure YOU tip the dealers"

@@henrywilliams3197 Paying minimum wage means we'd pay you less if we could get away with it.
In the Rounders scene, this is called a cooler, not a bad beat. A bad beat is when your opponent is the underdog when the betting occurs but ends up winning the hand. A cooler is when you have a strong hand (supposedly unfoldable) ultimately losing to a stronger hand.
Also, it wasn't heads up. There are two other players that started in the hand.
I guess the dealer speaks so much in 'Casino Royale' because there are spectators in the room and is basically letting everyone know what's happening on the table.
