I hope the dealer doesn't get fired if the Flamingo reads that interview.

I think the gaming manager who said he was lucky to get paid anything should be fired for that comment alone.

Had the same concerns after conducting the interview, after thinking about it, I bounced from table to table for the rest of my stay. They would have no way to prove at what table/casino and/or on what day the dealer provided me this insight. I am confident there could be no retribution on a dealer as they cannot prove which one gave me the advise. Now the pit boss that treated me like a third class citizen, I do hope that he is at least taught what customer service is about, especially when it comes to dealing with a loyal customer.

It isn't, but there is nobody to fight it with fighting it in their best interests. The only person to whom this is not in their best interest has not won yet. As a whole society, this is in all our best interests, but as society, we look away, wish someone else will sacrifice their time fighting it. It's a phenomena I don't even know a word for, but it's everywhere.

Happens across the board in all parts of life, but I see it often in gambling. Usually lottery jackpots highlights it. Such as was the Ohio lottery years back, when the jackpot just wouldn't hit. They changed the formula for funding the jackpot, that basically spare change was kept between $100,000 increments. It's ok to screw lottery winners because when the screwing is done, they're not lottery winners yet and can't fight back. You will be told the lottery funds education, but it really doesn't because the state would spend those dollars anyways, and what the lottery really does is allow the state to spend the education dollars somewhere else. By taking these dollars from the winners, the poor and middle classes predominantly playing are just getting more of nothing for something. Nobody fights back, they have no reason to, no financial motivation.

Then again the lottery sticking it to an unknown winner. First the jackpot drawing was rigged, but because the rigger didn't want to be caught, he didn't cash the ticket. They prosecuted him anyways, and the lottery kept all the money. The next jackpot winner wanted that money, since the unclaimed jackpot was foul, and the lottery thought everything was kosher, and he wasn't owed. The powerful doing the right thing when put on the spot just doesn't happen anymore. The courts and government are just useless. Losing our religion takes away the entitlement to fairness unless in protected classes. No such thing as injustices having appeals and remedies these days.



The LEGITIMATE Second place Jackpot Lottery winner was right. He does deserve that money or at least a HUGE portion since the top "winner" was a Fraud and I would fight tooth and nail for that money if I were the legitimate Second place Jackpot winner.

This story's getting around! I was dealing Pai Gow at work just the other day, and the players were discussing this. We're in Washington.
