Mandalay Bay are technology Luddites. Comps are tracked by index cards and they don't have the Bravo player tracking displays on their tables. I'm pretty amazed they have a computerized waiting list instead of a clipboard, and shuffle machines on the tables.
'Course they still don't have the shuffle machines completely figured out ("RED LIGHT ON 3!"). Dealers are not permitted to clear their own jams. If the shuffler red lights, they have to call for help and have someone else come do it. I'm told the MB poker room manager believes it's against gaming regulations to do what every other room in Nevada does, claiming there's some prohibition against the dealer simultaneously handling two decks at the table.
Still, MB has certain charms. It's fun to visit now and then.
Monte Carlo follows the MB model. I think Kay was originally the manager of MC. Not sure the heritage, but many of MB's odd rules are applied at MC. There's gotta be some ties, still, between the rooms. And I haven't visited MC in a couple years--do they have the Bravo player tracking things on the tables?
