To me it feels like an excuse to have another job in which players might feel obligated to tip.
Players are lazy/don't want to get up/whathaveyou, and don't want to get chips themselves. Trust me, I've seen the situation waaaaaaaaay too many times where a player will wait for a runner to get them chips when doing the deed themselves would go infinitely quicker. It's not an excuse, it's a convenience.
As for "cash can't play", Delaware Gaming won't allow a player to, say, go bust, pull out three $100 bills for the next hand, put it in, lose, and ship the 3 bills to the winner. Not allowed. That $300 has to be converted to chips. The player, however, can say he's $300 behind, and while the cash is getting changed into chips, lose that $300 in chips in the next hand, then have the chips shipped to the winner.
While I'm at it with goofy DE semantics I've learned of, it is also prohibited, in a rake game, for a player to to be dealt into a hand if they aren't at the table, otherwise its a misdeal. i.e. a player can't run over to another table real quick while saying "deal me in" and get dealt in. That player will get skipped if he's not physically at the table (in a raked game, doesn't apply to time games).
Does Harrington have it setup where dealers have a huge bank in front of them like AC or where there's $400-$500 in the rack like in Vegas?
