I try to know what each player's parameters are. I often tell my Floor Personnel and Dealers, 'The House doesn't lose a dollar until it leaves the Casino.' Most players have a certain stop level, win or lose. Also, at the property you are playing at are dealer tokes colored up or matched chip for chip and removed.ī.) Who are the players at the table? In the Best Posts Section Abraham de Moivre posted an excellent 'Know the Enemy' Post. Some questions I view about the Players when checking if a fill is needed.Ī.) What is their level of tipping? Dealer tokes are removed from the table immediately. Here are some examples that I have seen, and dealt with.ġ.) What metrics are used to determine if a fill is required? Some of your questions apply to that vein. I had a supervisor once tell me, 'Procedures are written on paper rather than in stone so that they can be changed if needed.' Also, our procedures are separate from Internal Controls.

So my answers here may not apply to the properties you play at. In the end my guess is that dealers stood in very early casinos so no casino ever changed it since casinos are about the most risk-adverse management as a gorup that you will find.Excellent Questions! I have dealt with many different procedures in my tenure as a casino employee. Standing gives the dealer a better reach and range of motion. To game protection, I can sort of see where standing helps marginally. I'd rather have a job where I walk 10 miles a day than one where I stood in place for 8 hours. Sitting is way harder than walking, IMHO. Some places like Wal-Mart put in registers facing both ways so you had to vary your motion, but still few seat the cashier. This was when egronomics and carpal tunnel were just being understood. I remember the union having an article on how they had chairs in Europe.

As a cashier in the 1980s (which I HATED doing) I never understood why we had to stand and couldn't have a 'high' seat. Go into an Aldi grocery store if they have them in your area and you will find a sitting cashier. Part of it seems to be an 'American' thing to have people stand instead of sit if they can. Seriously, I have wondered about this kind of thing for years.
