Sorry I didn't make it clear. I mentioned several post above that the casino management are not letting them use the event center. They are booked for other events. Perhaps more profitable events. Idk.

That event center is huge. If they had the dealers for it they could run a great event there

Anybody know if the Borgata still has the rule against men with long hair? I passed an audition years ago but then they saw my hair tied behind my back and said I needed to cut it. I didn't need the job, it was just for tournaments, so I passed.

If they still have that rule now but still are short for dealers and other staff, that's insane to me.

there was a long time dealer at the Borgata with the long hair, who was also playing in a band

not sure whether he was grandfathered in or if pro musicians were exempt

It was $1500 that was taken. Maybe 3 purple or 15 black spread out during the shift. He was a veteran dealer too and not some newbie.

Musta been a real high stakes game for him to take that much and not have any players notice

They were probably watching him over a period of time and that's what it added up to. It's highly impossible to take that much from one down.

He was sitting on a dead spread, so I'm guessing there weren't even any players AT the table when it occurred!

Only surveillance or perhaps a passing supervisor would have seen it ... and like it has already been mentioned, he was probably being watched.

hahah I get after 10 years of the floor saying "the cameras couldn't see x" every single time the floor went to survailliance when there was a dispute in the hand he figured he'd give it a go.

Fall mini-series details:

Pretty poor attempt. Hopefully they do better in Jan next year.

I agree.
Kinda sad! (Although I guess they did say "mini" series).
Why would they list the qualifiers (which of course happen BEFORE the main events) LOWER down on the page?
Sigh.

when it's the player's money, the camera can't see jack but when it's the casino's money, they see everything in high def.
