You likely just had bad luck during that period of time. The vast majority of dealers do not cheat. All dealers occasionally make mistakes (even the ones at Caesar's, Bellagio, etc), we're not trying to cheat you. The casino doesn't need to cheat you. The casino has the power of statistics on their side.
I've never heard of a store having a rotation/push based off of 30-minute intervals.
Yeah, they almost never change dealers because someone is winning. If there's a big player and he's up $50K, they might switch out a dealer if the boss is a retard (this isn't too uncommon).
But it's usually because someone gets sick or calls in or they get an EO. Then rotation is based on who can deal what, their skill, etc. You're not going to put a roulette-learning dealer on a game with chunky green action.
And I don't remember where this was, but I once had a double deck game that had five dealers in two hands.
Quote: jayjasonjayAfter a recent trip to wendover i would like to know peoples opinions on dealers' tactics. Because when i first got there i was killing it. The dealer rotations seemed normal (a dealer change every 30 or so minutes) and after the second dealer i was up over double my original money. Then a third dealer came in and everything went to shit. This one stayed at the table for over an hour and nobody won big. Was it simply that my luck ran out? Was he a cheating dealer? Did the casino send this demon of a dealer in because they saw i was winning and why would they have him stay so long instead of rotating in an different dealer like normal? I would like to know if casinos/dealers cheat or use tactics like this to screw with a winning player. Thanks
Was it a pitch game? If so, look for peeking and second dealing.
