Temp worker at the WSOP insults a whale who makes the Rio a lot of money. Yea, not really sure why you were fired...

If you have a Seven Stars card that means you blow through serious $$ and yeah they'd fire someone versus lose that revenue stream. Diamond card is 15,000 tier credits versus 150,000+ for Seven Stars. It's totally not worth it, speaking from experience. You get the ultimate rooms that you barely have time to stay in cause you're too busy maintaining that 150K yearly trajectory.

They really don't give a **** about the table games players (you "earn" a lot less points doing that) compared to slot players where you're most likely to qualify. You don't earn much for poker either. You do get points for sports betting + buy-in for WSOP events but unless you play slots you don't matter to them (individually) unless you play mind boggling amounts of blackjack or something. It's probably skewed 40-1 to slot players as far as what the casino considers a "Whale" insofar as giving you that card which gives you some minor clout.

I don't want my poker dealers to be 'loved' by others at the table or talking a lot or cracking jokes..I want my poker dealers to be like a referee/umpire..do your job correctly, and don't interfere with the game.

The 'personality' should be from the players..not the dealers, or floor staff..

So instead of admitting you did wrong you resort to fat shaming someone with a job as you sit there with no job.

Brilliant.

Maybe if you valued for dealing job just a tad more you wouldn't have done what you did and got fired. Instead of taking stock and taking steps to get another dealing job you blame others.

Have fun flipping burgers at Jacks buddy.

In OP's defense he probably bawled and pleaded for his family while he was in HR, and then dried his eyes and composed himself before swaggering out and declaring, "I told that fat ***** to shove it! High five bro!"

nailed it right on the head lol! I actually never spoke to HR, I should have but I didn't. I found a letter in my junk mail from HR (about a week after the series ended) after the incident saying that I needed to speak with them about the incident so that we could clear it up and move forward, and that if I didn't they would have no choice to terminate me. oh well.


the fact that some of you cannot sense sarcasm on the internet is amazing. The level of discernment some of you have in concluding that the way I speak (or type) on an INTERNET FORUM must be the way that I conduct myself 100% of the time in "real" daily life is astounding. I get that the subject matter of my initial post doesn't help the matter, but you get my point.

Fat shaming, lol. really?

Wait. That was a real email you sent to them in the OP?

that was their response back to me. i applied this year, and hr told me to email the committee giving them an explanation of what sins i committed. hr said i was on some black list for the wsop and had to take it up with the wsop management committee. i had to appeal the situation. i was suspended from the wsop last year and it turned into a firing because i failed to appeal it promptly last year.

after the incident, floor staff told me i was fired when i was actually suspended. HR sent me a letter saying to promptly speak to them about the incident or the suspension would result in termination, but heres the thing, i put my parents colorado address as my mailing address for tax reasons (i'm originally from colorado and moved from colorado and moved from their to vegas) and didn't get the letter until shortly after the series ended when visiting home. so i didn't take care of it and appeal it on time. so i guess that means no more wsop haha.

Nor do the details you've released since.

lol parents house lol

ETA: why did you reapply this year?

OP - will you apply again next year?

Hi Perry

Did you leave out the part where you acknowledged your actions were wrong, apologized and said it won't happen again?

Well, I am no mans high roller, but if this had happened to me, where I was the guy who had that happen to me...

I would've laughed.

Everyone has told a joke before that didn't turn out as well as they had hoped. I'm not gonna go get a rope to hang someone for something that every one has done before. (Not this exact scenario, but made a joke or made light of something that turns out the other person didn't think was funny)

Serious question..just WHERE does the WSOP and other poker rooms who have big tournament series' in June..ie. The Wynn, the Aria, the Venetian, Planet Hollywood, etc. find all these extra poker dealers?

Do they pluck them straight from dealer school? Do they find them in other parts of the country and bring them to Vegas for the summer?

Or are there so many out of work poker dealers desperate for jobs they are easy to find locally?

They say "Auditions start ..." and have no shortage of applicants. They turn people down even.

Nope he didn't it's the fat woman with no life who works in HR who is at fault.

that's sick that they'd do that to you, corporate life sucks

yes actually i owed that to them in my email to them. yeah shouldn't have done that.

i guess your the only one other than me that feels this way. lol. Perry was asian, as well as me, and maybe it was the age difference and cultural difference as well. I'm 23.

its actually a little of all of the above, dealers from all over come to vegas and air bnb it for the series then go home, some follow the series.

other are fresh out of dealing school, and some literally get taught the basics and are strategically placed in games and tournaments where their lack of dealing won't get patrons as must up in arms.

people complained ad nauseum during the golden nuggets and wsop's dailies that a larger percentage of dealers had no idea how to run a game. I played in a few last year and one dealer did a down where we literally had to read the board for her at showdown every hand.

do you really believe that i actually believe that, and conduct my outward life as such?

again think about it, we are on an internet forum...

JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE.

Reread the bolded part, you think no one noticed ?

I assume you are eluding to idea that the WSOP wasn't short for dealers that year? If you are meaning something else then please describe what esoteric meaning you meant for me to notice. If you are meaning to elude to the WSOP's staffing problem, then I'll address that.

When hired, I was told by the floor manager, that the WSOP was short by 250 dealers that year. It wasn't uncommon knowledge.

Nothing "esoteric" about it. You consider a job providing customer services to poker players in the Rio poker room as some sort of "sentence".

You have no attitude compatible with providing services to th Rio poker players, sorry.

His point alluded you.
