I work at a casino that just changed all of our tables. Our new tables don't have a raised rail, and for that reason we dont have cup holders. I repeat, no cup holders. When we have spills we use the normal terry cloth towels from the bar. We sometimes use a hairdryer to speed the process up, but when we do that the whole table has to wait for the supervisor to stop using the hairdryer. When we only use the towel that takes almost an hour for it to completely dry for cards to be put in play. The hairdryer may only take 10-15 min but it shuts the whole table down. We are losing over an hour per spilled drink per spot of play. Are there any other methods in use that may speed this process up?

Thanks

I shouldn't even be posting here but I can't resist this one. Your casino manager should be calling a spill clean up person qualified to properly mitigate and remediate the spill release. The process would be tailored to the particular liquid released and the size of the spill. Notifications, if any would be completed with the proper documentation completed according to protocols published. Certified disposals would be documented and compliance with regulatory agencies would be assured. Safety and protection of the environment assure human and wildlife are not in further jeopardy, which would justify any length of time or expense that was charged for the spill clean-up.

6:00 to 7:15 is very important to fully even start to understand the proper techniques. (more than a sham wow) However your casino manager might opt for a smaller response such as a 'facility spill station'. I would highly recommend the side of safety with the blue suits and pink absorbents.

They actually gave them out as a local casinos club promotion once. The line was full of eager shammy fans. I was pissed they were blocking up the line.

Don't get me started on the snuggies. I seriously have to question the decision making of someone who ever purchased one of them.

If I was a job interviewer that would be my first question.

My wife (girlfriend at the time) gave me a ShamWow (as a semi-joke) for my birthday. I was very disappointed. It worked about as well as a washcloth. I wanted to punch that Vince guy in the nose. Well, to be honest, I wanted to punch him in the nose before I got the ShamWow.

We actually had Jacksonville Jaguars Snuggies on our wedding registry. Now, which speaks worse to my decision making... that I own 2 Snuggies or that I am a Jaguars fan? :) I guess I'm never getting a job at Axel Wolf, Inc.!

BTW, we actually asked for them for the novelty. An actual blanket works better than a Snuggie. Although, I did see someone wearing one like a robe at a football game once.

To the OP, welcome to the board. I think that by having fun with the topic, but not answering your question, we are saying we don't know of a better way to clean spills.

The best was is to keep spills from happening. I'm sure someone could invent cocktail glasses with some sort of flap inside that is forced up from the liquid and stops most of the spillage.

For what it's worth...we make many of the tables we use at a charity gaming events. Drink spills are a huge problem if you don't build in safeguards. Before we tack the layout down, we glue on a 1/4" sheet of "volara'. This is a real cushy foam that is also waterproof. It keeps any spill from going all the way through to the wood.

On roulette and big six we installed these nifty drink-holders. They simply slide out from the underside of the table. Cost about $5 each. Works great but you always have to tell players to pull them out and use them.

Those Sham Wow commercials are really great. The guy that does the commercials had some kinda of legal trouble a couple years ago or so. I think domestic violence, but I could be mistaken.

They could treat layouts with some kind of scotch guard so spills don't sink in, they float. But I'm certain they've thought of this already, and for some reason decided against it.

Apparently Vince hit the town in Miami drinking with a hooker who had a tramp stamp with the word lucky (apparently so).

they both got really blitz. Her price was $1000 worth of shammy sales( Bargain for him, she could have gotten 5 more cases and a chop chop thing, if she acted now)

Apparently she wanted to test how well the shammy worked on blood, because while they were getting it on, she bit the F out of his tongue.

He wanted to prove they worked even better, because he beat the hell out of her.

This would be the ideal answer.

I have seen some places retrofit their tables after a bad decision like this to add a racetrack along the outside that includes cupholders. Also conveniently keeps ashtrays off the felt, makes the felt last slightly longer since the apron gets used a bit less.
May the cards fall in your favor.

No need for that he actually does that on purpose." Want to see my nuts" or whatever he says.
I can't tell if that shticky commercial is real because its so stupid funny.

$36 ?? I was thinking $14.99. I'm to lazy to crack out a CC.

It's a good thing Vince isn't a member of this site. Calling someone a cat is considered a personal insult here according to an entry on the Suspension List Archives. Apparently beatniks and hipsters do not fall under the umbrella of diversity afforded other groups. Maynard G Krebs would be puzzled.

In 1999, TV Guide ranked Maynard G Krebs number 22 on it's '50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time List'.

Just the word cat? or sneaky cat? cad?

I would be dumbfounded if calling someone a cool cat would be suspension worthy I think I said that to soxfan.

However I might have to change it from cool cat to something else given what he got suspended for.

Who made that decision? unbelievable....as cat(s) is a 70s word meaning a cool person or just a group of people.

Unfortunately someone will argue he used the word prattle insinuating people talked foolish . That's a big stretch, his current suspension should be lowered for sure.

Possibly he caught Mike on a bad day or something.

It was Mike. He forgot what the meaning of "cat" was in soxfan's context. That suspension may have been lifted early. A lot of the forum argued over it, iirc. Given recent developments though, maybe Mike had a moment of clairvoyance instead.

Every time I see a new Vince Offer pitch, I say "Wow". I'm saying "Wow", every time.

$14.99 may be a good price for a slapchop, but then you've got to go to a boring store and wait in a boring line. For just a small processing & handling fee, you can get them shipped directly to your home. Why waste all that time? I don't know, it sells itself.
May the cards fall in your favor.
