Per my app I've logged 823 hours in your room over the past 3 years and I'm estimating another 1000 in the 5 years prior to me utilizing the app. I have seen floor people/dealers ignore and in some cases openly joke about players jumping off short tables on a regular basis over this time. Years ago I attempted to put up a fight when it was shocking that this was allowed but now accept this as SOP in this room. To say that these players "sometimes" find success if akin to saying you "sometimes" get a late afternoon shower in FL.

We have a transfer system that is a part of our listing software that helps us keep track of who wants to go where and what not.
Yes, it is correct that you have the tools to operate within the listed rules however when the 21-year old min wage workers are chatting it up about their weekends next to the cage and the room is busy especially on promo days (Fri-Sat), no dealer is going to hold up his game trying to find a floor person to confirm whether a transfer is legal or not. I've witnessed dealers both attempt to call for assistance until finally giving up and others simply not even bother instead choosing to keep the game and the totes flowing.

But, as I said, we will move players back to their seats to ensure the correct person gets the seat, and that players aren't leaving games short.
I have only seen this occur a small handful of times when players at the table have physically left there seat to stop a floorperson and aggressively address the situation. I've also seen instances when this occurred and still the player was allowed to remain in his new game.

one thing about rules and procedures, is that everyone seems to understand them differently and complains if they are not in their personal best interest.
and since there is some competition between rooms they do need to find the balance between keeping things going and keeping customers happy.
Lol. There can be no misinterpretation of rules when those rules are not enforced and in some cases openly mocked by its own employees (dealers). It's as if you've never seen a standard PR response using management speak. While I appreciate Josh's professionalism in responding his comments are a big giant nothingburger that do not represent what actually occurs in the room.
As stated previously, the room is like a big home game and its lack of oversight is a running joke at Borgata, Chicago, and in the CT rooms from players who visit here. If players in other states openly discuss a specific 2/5 reg who has a reputation for hiding/adding a handful of black chips in his hand during action AND allowed to get away with blatantly cheating you can be assured than you can be assured that what is in a players personal best interest isn't the issue here.
I love the action here and have no ax to grind as it has become accepted by many players how this room is operated.
