New robot dealer

These new robots will be able to talk to you in several languages, and deal blackjack and baccarat. No word about what happens if creepy guys come on to them.

Thanks I didn't need to sleep anyway....

I'm sure there are some guys who already have one of these stuffed in their closet.

I wonder if they 'hustle' for tips like some of the dealers I currently play against.

Sure. The house will just insist on 100% tip-out.

I can see it now...


KJ: "Can you color me up, Miss Robot?"
Robot: "Absolutely!"
KJ: "Here"
Robot: "Thank you for the tip, have a good day sir."
KJ: "No, I wanted COLOR UP."
Robot: "Your tip is well appreciated, have a good day."
KJ: "THAT. WAS. NOT. A. TIP. THAT. WAS. COLOR. UP!!!"
Robot: "Thank you, come again soon!"

On of the "perks" of being a high roller may well be the blessing of the casino to take the BJ robot dealer to your comped suite after her shift so you can drill her.

Would such an act be illegal, or considered the same as comped coffee shop and thereby legal?

Can robots be ho's?

I don't believe it would be illegal as the robot is a piece of machinery. If that was the case, blow-up dolls would be illegal and they already have those. The facsimile or illusion of reality does not make it so.

Most people don't realize anti-prostitution laws are there to protect both client and server. The server in this case would not need protecting (from a spiritual and emotional aspect at least.)

djatc's response, inferring that this was pretty creepy is spot on. I think many patrons would find this creepy to some degree. And the facial recognition feature with the robot calling player by name, elevates this 'creepy' factor by 100. I also don't see this as any way to treat higher end players.

For lower end players this type of automation replacing human labor costs just doesn't seem the most cost effective. I think those 5 seat terminals with the computer screen dealers, like the ones with the girls with the big boobs and now several other manufacturer, including Aruze, are more cost efficient and I believe over time that type of automation would be an acceptable replacement to human dealers at the lower level games.

I would offer $5 and $10 minimum games at those "big boobed", 5 seat terminals and remove all other $5 and $10 games and only offer $25 minimum tables and above with human dealer and it would become acceptable. You could even place several of those 5 seat, "big boobed" type games at one end of the pit, to make it feel more like the traditional table game area, rather than stick them off in the corner somewhere like El Cortez is doing.

Just me, but I vote for $10 tables with visually appealing dealers (real human type), and free drinks (within reason).....
Of course they need to be good dealers, fast game, few mistakes, a little chatter is good too.....

When the robots get good enough to interest me, I might buy one of my very own....

There is an interesting effect that happens with robots. The closer they get to looking human, the more they get described as "creepy". R2D2 types are cute because they do not have a human appearance. Robots that are designed to look human hit something subconscious that makes people wary that something is not quite right.

No, by that time you will be their slave.

I'd sooner play at the, as kewlj put it, a "big boob" machine, than at this robot table.

At least the dealers on those video machines are real people. They're still creepy, but real people.

The only advantage of the robot dealer, besides the novelty factor, is that it's using real cards.

So if you're suspicious of the RNG in the video tables and wanna go the robot route, why not just have a regular industrial style robot arm to deal the cards, with a "big boob" dealer on a video screen?

I will vote for industrial style robot arms dealing the cards, as long as there are, quoting here "real big boobed dealers" on a really big screen.
What?
I already voted?
Nevermind...
Liked my initial vote better anyway...
So there, you self appointed poll observation types.....

Because its human looking with a weird tick or movement which looks like its having a stroke or holding back urges to stab you 50 times.

This is called the "Uncanny Valley" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley

Anybody see the movie "Ex Machina"?

Those robot chicks were hot. Hell yeah I'd hit it.

They weren't merely hot. They were designed to be desirable and able to realistically f***.

I don't trust ANY machine -- period!
