Pretty disgusting that people just go on gambling after someone dies.
when i first started dealing almost 20 years ago i got to know a guy, "Bill" who played in our room. He used to deal poker in Vegas mid to late 70's.
He had plenty of stories about the snatch games and all the "shenanigans" that went on.
One story he told us, i think he was at the Sands, graveyard shift dealing, and an old guy goes face-down on the table, said he appeared to have died.
He stopped and yelled for the shift man who came over checked the guy.
Yup, dead. and walked away to call whoever he needed to call.
Bill stayed still staring at this guy, dead at the table, Shift man came back and whispered in Bills ear:
Are you a doctor?
No
Then you cant help,
Deal.
Bill said he dealt around this guy for probably 15 minutes before someone arrived to take him away.
On top of that callousness, he said the players were just as unconcerned.
