"I saw a documentary on the movie 'Casino' the movie was based on a true story and all the events where true. The interesting thing was the character that Joe Pesci played made the mafia a lot of money so they allowed him to behave as he wanted. However they decided to have him killed because while being the biggest earner and power broker they had he got public media attention to the level the mafia was involved in the casino business. They decided to take a big loss to have him killed to protect the casino empire they ran. This all happened because he ran that hole in the wall gang and they got caught and started to draw attention and his behavior started to draw in the attention of the Feds. Killing him was so important they even killed the mafia guys who they ordered to kill him because they messed and his body was found later on. They really did just kill him in a awful way to send a message to anyone else about fucking with the casino world they ran no one is special."
Really? wow, I haven't seen this but I think I'll look it up.
I remember chatting to one of the the floor managers. It was late in the evening (early AM), I was sitting at a closed baccarat table sorting cards. He came by to chat for a bit. He tapped me on the shoulder and nodded towards a couple of men heading for the high limit room. See those two? He said. They're underworld. They hang around to lend the high rollers money - and then demand repayment - with interest. I said if you know this, why are they even allowed into the casino? He grimaced but didn't respond, just gave me a speaking look. Which told me without words the casino higher ups know but won't do anything about it. Not really.
I was what was known as a strong dealer. meaning very hard to get money from. When I was new and learning texas shootout, I found it very hard because you have to actually learn to recognize the patterns, not really look at each hand (takes too long). You have to do the collections and payouts fast, and accurate. Theres a lot of things to keep in mind and you have to really watch the players because they'll cheat any way they can. And so....in the beginning this was incredibly stressful. And the old chinese women and men who play this are absolutely the most abusive people. And they also hated me because I'm white. Till eventually one day it all came clear and then no problem. I became very fast, very accurate and then....it was payback time.. When I saw I was going to one of those tables, I went there in the absolute intention of: I will take EVERY. SINGLE. DIME. from you. It got so they would see me coming into the pit and literally get up and leave the table because they knew I was out to kill. It turned out I'm what you call a 'cooler'. I can come to a table and kill it. I had the floor manager come get me once and send me off to the high limit to cool a table. The guy was winning too much. You might say well but....the cards are in the card dispenser....how can you possibly affect how they come out? True. And yet....it happened. I don't know how.
As an experiment, I tried this in reverse for a couple of nice guys on my blackjack table one night. They won like you wouldn't believe! The floor manager came down and I heard him behind me asking my pitt boss: "What the fuck is going on here?! WHY are they winning?!" I had to have three emergency table refills! That is over a quarter of a million dollars! And my pitt boss was like: "I don't know! She's not making any mistakes! I don't know why they can't seem to lose!"
