Would this be a possible scenario in the Wynn or Bellagio poker room:
-New player skips signing in and seats himself at table
-Dealer yells out at "New player, table 5!"
-Passing by floorman informs the player of mistake but let's it slide, checks player's ID
-Player slips dealer cash to buy chips. Dealer asks player for player's card. He doesn't have one, Dealer gives player chips.
