Casino Dealers Reveal House Secrets (r/AskReddit Top Posts | Reddit Stories)

Casino employees of Reddit what are some things we are not supposed to know about how the house operates the casinos are designed so that it is difficult to find the doors to the outside do you think customers have trouble finding the exit you should see how many ask me where's the cashier in one shift obviously it's at the other end of the building amongst a billion of other slots and passed the tables just attempt players on their way to cashing out I was at a conference in LV Cheng and mint crossing the floor or a very long way around the periphery meeting rooms were split between hotel wings so you had to cross the gaming floor everything was about getting you to make that one extra gamble we have pouring ceilings busy floors and low lighting to keep your eyes on the slot machines that guy hanging out in the bathroom he's not a creep he's security I was at a relatively high end strip club recently and there was a bathroom attendant I thought I didn't think this place was that fancy I just realised slot machine jingles are written in the key of C to keep players happy and to keep different machines from playing discordant tunes against other machines try finding a clock in the casino there is no such thing all windows only use your players card when you are expecting to spend a considerable amount of money if you have the card inserted on a trip where you only spend 20 bucks you will drive down your average day trip ADT and probably won't get as good mail promotional offers figuring out how to manipulate the averages will maximize what the casino gives you I was a blackjack and poker dealer at a small casino in AZ these are pretty specific to our house but they were tactics that stood out to me one if a customer was winning a lot the casino would tap in dealers more often a new dealer always meant an extra cut card statistically speaking it has very little impact but most gamblers are superstitious and a bit paranoid our pit bosses would do it just to mess with their heads and get them on tilt too again this was a small casino and we rarely had players playing with black $100 chips when they did we had to call black action so our pit bosses could keep an eye on the game the good ones would keep track of every single one of those chips if you started taking them off the table they would know how many you took and probably what pocket you had them in three if it was late and a bunch of drunks were still playing a $5 million in table they would tap me in to close it down essentially I was a fast dealer and pushed the pace so that they couldn't keep up dealing quicker meant they were making more bets per hour and more to the point the game was moving quicker than they could follow it's all full customer service but it was an awful casino if you get upset and asked for an ACM assistant casino manager you'll probably get free stuff they just throw money at customers to ensure they return I'm a poker dealer and this makes me hate my job people act like a complete [ __ ] and my bosses reward them just hoping they'll come back as a casino dealer the fact that we don't owe the customers to win every time seems to be an avowed more seriously there's not really any big secret about our operations that I can think of if you already know that the house has an edge on every game because duh it would be pretty dumb for them to run a business exclusively based on pure luck you pretty much know what you're getting into I deal at a government operated casino so we don't kick out people who count cards or win too much I deal blackjack Spanish 21 and a handful of novelty games pretty much all side bets match the dealer lucky ladies three and six card bonuses et Cie are all suckers bets they look like a good idea when that guy beside you just landed one hundred and twenty dollars on his match the dealer but what you didn't see is him putting up $200 worth of bets to get that match I've been in the industry more than 20 years there are a few myths I'd like to clear up casinos do not pump extra oxygen into the air system to keep people more alert there is no control room where people watching the surveillance cameras can decide the wins and where your chances of winning at a slot machine do not improve based on the denomination of the bill you put in if you put your loyalty card in the machine or if you press the button vs pull the handle legitimate casinos do not try to screw people out of legitimate jackpots casinos actually like paying out big jackpots from time to time as it's great advertising machine malfunctions however do happen and the casino isn't going to pay your jar jackpot that you didn't actually win generally speaking base level employees dealers cashiers hotel staff etc cannot compute they don't have the authority find a manager or a casino host for that and don't expect to get comps if you aren't using your card when you play if they can't track you they can't come to you you know all the trickery doesn't apply to only casinos most arcades where you can win prizes from electronic games core machines stackers anything that involves reflexes are aimed where you in once or twice but how come you don't win all the time no your reflexes have probably right 90% of the time but the game will only let you win 10% of the time , so if you see a stackers with a ps3 and you fail on the very last square 10 stroke 10 times it's not you seriously it's not how can they get away with these scams bartenders can't see how much money you put into the video games if you want to get the drink fast and free sit down by yourself and put in 100 bucks without paying attention to the bartender pay attention to the screen and make small bets act like you're going to be be there for a while Sooni she will come around asking what you want I usually ask for a double scotch pull out some cash before they return when they give you the drink quickly hand them the cash 95 of the time you get the drink free then press the cash out button and repeat at different bars don't have your friends standing with you or waiting behind you don't put 1 - 20 dollars in and expect that to work don't give in to temptation to start gambling for real you're here for a cheap drink remember that do play blackjack and bet minimum bets and play normal suggested betting strategies this will increase the likelihood of coming up even when you cash out casinos give away alcohol so you will bet more easily and often they train the bartender's to spot people trying to get a free drink if you act like you are by yourself and are sitting at the bar with the intent to gamble for a while and not just get a free drink the bartender will want to get some drinks into you casino dealer here every game is weighted in the casinos favor everyone should know this already it isn't a secret there aren't any windows at my casino but there are clocks pretty much the casino just relies on people's greed and surprise surprise most people actually do win money then they keep playing because they want to win more and then they lose it all if everyone left as soon as they want a small amount the casino would be out of business also everyone accuses us of not wanting our customers to win in reality I don't give a damn if you lose but I do actually prefer that you went so you want an [ __ ] at my table I was a poker dealer in Iowa sometimes dealing blackjack and other table games as well decent college job if the roulette dealer is looking at the wheel when he spins there's something wrong when I was in training my boss had us call out a number he timed it and hit our number right off said it doesn't always happen that way but 90% of the time he either hits it all gets one to the L R said if the dealer is looking at the wheel they might be working with someone your seat has been peed on if it has a funny name ultimate Texas Hold'em three-card poker et si don't play it worst odds if you want a low variance game to milk your money Polly cow is where you go drink service still comes by as it's near poker tables unlike penny slots and you'll split almost every hand never play bonus extra plays on table games taker usually already horribly stacked game and make it worse the double kiss dealers to deviate the pit bosses attention when they think someone is playing dodgy I'm surprised how they hear it over the general noise two casino layouts the open-air bar and the maze with low ceilings people like clothes lines of sight so no long aisles people like nooks which feel lucky the maze layout with confusing carpeting slows people's paths through the games and keeps their gaze on the machines tables the open-air barn style layout decidedly gets less of the type of people susceptible to stay at a certain game for long periods friend of my news to work concerts at a casino in AC and I would often go to hang out with her during a long day she was allowed to go to the employee cafeteria and have a meal at this particular casino that cafeteria was just beyond an employee only double door not really monitored by security she'd go through the doors flashing her credentials and 0's were given by anybody sir we'd go to the cafeteria grab a tray and load up typical buffet style set up after she stopped working there any time in AC we'd go eat of this cafeteria nobody ever said boo we've tried successfully and unsuccessfully to try to find this setup at other casinos it's fun when it works next time you're at a big one keep an eye where all the employees are coming from could mean the free dinner and sometimes a free dinner is a big deal in a casino if you are ever stopped just play down edit I forgot the most important part if you do this you walk back there like you are in the place like your mr. or Mrs Mandalay Bay him/herself you look lost and you'll get pinched for sure when playing at the five dollar blackjack tables the house does not give a sheet if they lose out on five bucks from a player it costs them more to call surveillance in smaller casinos than to just give the player of five dollar chip I once had a player who didn't speak English hand me a twenty and a five dollar bill I give her five chips in return I turned to dump the money and when I look back across the table at her she has the chips lying on the table someone translates for me and she says she gave me 30 I clearly remember two different bills but she was convinced so like a good dealer I call my supervisor over and explained the situation after a quick call to the floor manager he walks over and tells me to just give her the chip it was a very frustrating day also when I dumped the money it's gone until it's picked up at the end of the night When in Rome do as the Romans do when in a casino do not play shot machines they use wire mesh and the construction of the walls to diminish or block cell phone signals so you can't get that call from your wife saying that you shouldn't blow your mortgage payment that's what I've heard anyway I have never seen proof of it though I have seen my signal drop significantly in certain casinos I've heard that it's part of their illusion that time isn't passing they try so hard to make it seem like you haven't been there very long so you'll keep playing so they don't want you to get that phone call from your wife saying that you've been there for hours and it's time to come home I've heard from more than a few people that crown in Melbourne has walkways behind the toilets so they can access the bathrooms and clear off the dead without carting the body through the casino apparently people off themselves all the time because they've gambled themselves into no return I used to work at a casino as a poker dealer under proposition player there are sometimes players at the table that are actually employees of the casino that are simply there to help start tables and create another stream of raike casino executives for lots of other questions people ask the only two real secrets ie not stuff like tips on getting more comps is the house advantage of individual slot machines and the end of the accounting day the former is obvious the latter say you can't launder money since we have to report aggregate cash transactions of over $10,000 that take place in a single day question we called ahead and asked for a suite for a bachelor party at the cause for nine guys put down a deposit in law when we arrived they had given it away they gave us three doubles rooms instead what really happened
