The cards you buy at the store are cardboard and not bendy. All of the bridge cards I've seen are plastic and hold their shape when they are rolled (like when a player is checking their hand after being dealt in).

You think that anyone would want another player getting a "Happy ending" massage AT THE TABLE ?

I doubt that "at the table" massages involve happy endings, and I've played in a lot of places that offer a mix of gambling, hotel, and brothel capacity to their customers.

Have zero direct knowledge of the guy who started this thread, but I suspect he is very young, perhaps underage, seemingly naive as to business reality, has no actual business experience or plan. I likely would give him less than a .001% chance of success in this proposed venture.

you're too on the nose with your trolling and make it too obvious

Cameras. YES

Security. YES

Guaranteed Prize Pool/ Tournaments
Yes

Alcohol. YES

Attractive Dealers yes

Bad beat jackpots yes

Hiring dealers based on attractiveness is discrimination

Call them models and you're fine; you can even discriminate on the basis of age and sex.

Hooters and Tilted Kilt .. and Twin Peaks solved the riddle. That being the uniform! That will definitely thin the field of applicants. GL

Casino here did something similar. The classified the cocktail waitresses as “entertainment”. Everyone of them were young attractive females. That lasted a couple of years.

Then I believe it was challenged as an unfair practice. Not sure exactly those details but they started hiring all ages both sexes and more “body types”. Now 15 yrs later that staff is largely mature ladies but some younger and some guys.

Rio's "Bevertainers" tried to get around this, I believe.

Rooms that do this have a problem with splashed pots

Would never play in a room without cameras.

Hopefully you'll have armed security guards.

You need cameras to maintain peace and safety for ppl at the game in addition to confirm any irregularities that arise. Protecting yourself from theft, cheats, etc. You can delete the tape after 24hrs or something so you dont have a backlog of data

Get custom chips so ppl cant introduce new ones . If someone does you can watch the tapes and find when this happened

Most ppl dont really understand rake. Time rake ends up being much cheaper from a players standpoint and also provides predictable revenue for the club. However its something players notice and novices dont like. Just take a reasonable rake per hand with a cap.

Offer credit to vetted players. Offer many payment options to those youre requiring to buyin on the spot. Crypto, hell even some llc you can take cc at if youre a legal operator

In case this post is not just a joke (which a kinda suspect, and your priorities and lack of knowledge suggests), here are some thoughts:

1. massage girls: there is no such thing as coincidence. if this is your top spot on the list, don't open a room
2. no cameras, bc there will be no cheating: let me go back to 1, don't open a room
3. if you want serious feedback, you have to have some plan or ideas of your own in the first place, otherwise it's like : "i wanna fly to the moon, have no idea how to do it, give me your top 5 ideas to build a rocket" ...

my 2 cents ... but in case i'm wrong and you are really serious about this, best of luck

Well, looking at the thread you just started, your own experience seems sketchy at best.

that's how they do it there, not my room ;-))

not if you call them "models who deal"
(learned from Oceans 13)

by the way:
i understand your negative response, clearly i wasn't very nice to you in my answer (so it seems). but try to think beyond that and hear the advice if that's possible: this is not a business for you, if that's your level of knowledge about it, you will only lose money.

Ask tworooks he will tell you all you need to know.

This thread seems eerily similar to another one in this forum. I can’t help but wonder if it’s the same person?

I feel like you are glossing over the most important part (rake). Everyone understands casinos need to make a profit, yet everyone also wants the least amount of rake (friction). It should also be noted that there are two kinds of rake, official (pre-announced) and unofficial (stealing from the pot). The details of each really matter. If fact they are probably the most important detail and you're glossing over it.

Cameras are an important for anyone who cares about running a clean game.

One of the reasons I generally prefer playing in a casino to a private game is the Cameras. Don't get me wrong, I am not naive. I know in casinos that the cameras are there for the casinos, not for the players. However, they do provide a basic level of security. If I have $10,000 in front of me and get up to go to the washroom and come back to $1000 while my next door neighbor has $9000 more, I do have some recourse to legaly have the casino preserve the camera footage.

You are correct about what Mason means. However he fails to take into account context. For example, in close knit local games his advice is undoubtedly true. A careful balance must be maintained. The gamebwill be destroyed otherwise. However in a place like Vegas where thousands of tourists are passing through temporarily, then the sheep should be skinned. They are not your primary source of regular action.

Take the Horseshoe in Las Vegas.

Ignore regular house rake. That affects everyone. However they also take $2 per pot in promotion money. The way they pay out most of that promotion money is through a twice weekly freeroll. Earn 15 hours to get an entry into the freeroll held twice a week.

The vast majority of the winners of the $300 freeroll payout are locals who regularly play. Not even close. It is insane how many of the winners of the freeroll the floor knows the names of the player by heart.

Taking $2 out of each pot on low limit games and giving it to regs is the literal definition of skinning a sheep. Horseshoe Vegas can get away with it though because it is based upon know nothing tourists coming through and dumping their money on the table regularly without care of the rake.

Just look at the Wynn in LV. The Culinary Union is hard core about protecting their servers from discrimination. The Wynn got around this by not making them cocktail waitresses. They are models. Different standard. They still belong to the union to keep the union happy, but they can be judged on their looks if needed.

A compromise.

Unlike other casinos that have to keep 90 year old great grandmas employed as servers despite the fact that they trip over their tits that hang down to their knees every other second.

Is it morally wrong? Of course. Is it reality? Yep.
