I live not too far from an Indian casino that hosts a poor blackjack game combined with a paranoid attitude.
The rules are poor, the pen is worse (with exceptions) and they do things like keeping a table dead with half a shoe dealt while every other open table in the place is full.
The table is only dead because it has half a shoe dealt and if they dealer would be able to start a new shoe, the table would probably immediately fill up. I say this because: Ploppies seeing this feel it must be a "bad shoe" and that is why everyone previously there left. Also, on a new shoe I might sit down and once one person sits in a crowded casino, you can be sure others will quickly join in.
They also will not open new tables till every table is completely full, again like the above note, costing them tons of dollars every day.
I recently was there for a concert and seeing a promising table, sat down with a couple of other players already at the table. One guy asks the pit for cigarettes. The pit goes to the computer and gives the guy some kind of slip that looked similar to a check. The cost of the smokes comes off of his comp balance, so he is paying for them. When the waitress comes he orders the cigarettes, gives her the slip but she says that she needs to take his ID to the club office in order to get them. This ploppy is not a sheep though and refuses. He tells her that he will not let his ID out of his sight, the pit has already verified who he is and that he has comp dollars for the smokes and that her request is ridiculous and she should tell he boss so. The waitress leaves and the pit calls the players club on the behalf of the ploppy. Ten minutes later some woman comes to the table and in an extremely rude manner hands him his cigarettes.
Now, I am not a supporter of smoking but I am a supporter of stamping out ID theft and perserving our privacy and personal freedoms as much as possible and found this to be some kind of brain dead, I will show you how much power I have rule made by some idiot in a power position within this casino.
Anyway, friend of mine who does frequent the place has told me they got rid of that rule quickly. (My friend is a die hard ploppy who asked me to help him but never read any book I loaned him)
