Haha, kind of. I run a tiny room in the middle of nowhere in West Africa and the people who set this place up didn't really have any experience with casinos. I've been working on improving things for a long time, but since I myself don't have specific casino training (was an online player mostly and came to Africa for different reasons), some of our procedures are probably very uncommon/illogical.

Also, what does "buy in for $80" in blackjack?
The way we work is we have 1 stud poker table, 1 blackjack table and 1 NLHE cash game table. On any given night we only have 3-5 dealers available, and the cash game table runs every night but there isn't much blackjack. Stud is mostly on weekends.
When someone wants to play blackjack, we call an available dealer over, he/she shuffles the cards and the player buys in at the table. When I got here the procedure was for the player to buy a certain amounts of chips (80$), as is the case as well for the stud table, I never really considered the possibility of dealers just standing there waiting for potential players, didn't know that was how things worked usually...
