    Fun fact. In Australia there is a law that makes a casino or club (places you can gamble here) have to make it so all patrons have access to the time. So where ever you’re sitting in the casino you have to be able to see a clock (they’re on all slot machines, on all walls, everywhere) good law.

    If anyone wants to see how a card counting team works, in real life, some students and a professor at MIT created a card counting club and applied what they learned in real casinos in Vegas. At the end, they really did get kicked out of casinos, had their names in black books, there really was disguises involved, and so on. There is a documentary about the entire "MIT card counters" on RUclips here if anyone is interested. I enjoyed it.

    The dice bit of Ocean's 13 is definitely out of their hands - the story is that, they infiltrated into the dice manufacturing facility and altered how the dice were made altogether. I remember because there was a sub-plot that the dice factory workers (in Mexico) went on strike and to alleviate that issue - they were thinking of just paying the workers fairly which they thought were going to be tens of millions of dollars, but turns out it was just a few tens of thousands. Much like them, the billion dollar gambling industry should pay their workers fairly.

I have seen similar situations working as a dealer in AC many years ago with varying degrees of success on the part of the high roller. They tend to be less than thrilled when their advances are spurned, thereby leaving them with a bruised ego and a very salty disposition towards everyone.

    Yeah the dealer talking really felt awkward in Casino Royale, he was really talking to the viewers of the movie (those that have never watched a live game of poker), and not at all to the players. The showdown manipulation of the players cards felt embarrassing. There's just one thing that didn't shock me: the accumulation of super unlikely hands. That was pretty consistent with the common accumulation of super unlikely events in any James Bond movie.

They don’t want to switch to a European system where they get a higher hourly wage with no tips because they make quite a bit once tips are added in. I usually play at $5-10 tables and I tip several dollars every time I get a good hand. You consider that they rotate to higher tables multiply that over the shift and the number of days and they’re doing pretty good

    He mentions you can still count a multi deck shoe, but the number of decks in the shoe + where they put the cut card greatly affects the end results.

Especially if you're playing at a table with people who aren't playing optimally, and ESPECIALLY if the person on 3rd base doesn't know what they're doing.
