I haven't quite figured out how blinds work yet, I was thinking 10-20


None of like football or smoke. There will probably be vaping, and one play will show up drunk/stoned, and just get worse as the game progresses, if they way he plays D&D is any indication.

Yeah I’d recommend .02/.05 or .05/.10 for a $5 buyin. 5/10 would probably be a little more fun

I see tons of people with stuff like that at my local place. One guy always sets a funko pop of the futurama spaceship on his cards after he checks them. Tons of other people have random little figurines or little tokens.

Dealer here, and thoughts on various games as follows.

Blackjack: $10 auto schuffler games suck to deal, either you are dead or have a table full of non-tippers who hate you personally. Spanish 21 is the same players but at least you get a little break when you change shoes. Hand shuffle is actually pretty great to deal as you have better players who tend to be better behaved.

Roulette: we took out our single zero wheel because everyone wanted to play the double zero wheel.

Carnival Games: 3 card and 4 card poker are easy to deal and fairly mindless, almost like a night off, but they tend to be a main source of tokes. Mississippi Stud is probably my favorite game to deal mainly because the players tend to be some of the most decent in the casino. UTH or HUH are the most difficult to deal which means if you are good there and do not have roulette or craps you will be on those tables a lot.

Craps: can be fun with the right players, and at our casino craps probably brings in 40% of our tokes. Most surprising thing is how many people do not take odds. Crapless Craps is fun to deal but people on it do not seem to tip as well as on normal craps.

Why are people better behaved/better tippers at tables that aren’t auto shuffled? Is it because they see you doing what they consider to be “real work” or something? I’ve never played blackjack at an auto shuffled table, I don’t think I’d change my attitude toward the dealer at all but I’d pick hand shuffled over that every time, for whatever reason. But I also have no issues with holdem tables using an auto shuffler lol. Gambler logic.

Let’s try not to drag the thread too far down into this stuff imo, but I definitely agree that jase post sounds pretty fuckin irresponsible, I’d expect a professional gambler to know why.
