CASINO
GAMES MANAGER
The casino games manager runs the casino. Every aspect of
the operation is under his control in one way or another.
At one time, when
casinos games weren't owned by public corporations, but were
rather free-wheeling affairs, the casino games manager's power
was awesome. In those days, which lasted into the 1960s, the
people running the big hotel-casinos in Nevada didn't really
care that much about hotel, restaurant, or entertainment operations
except as they affected the casino. At that time, all these
operations were heavy money losers, but it didn't really matter,
because the casino raked in the cash and made so much money
that the losses became insignificant.
Then the economy
changed; inflation increased and executives who ran these
hotel-casinos became aware of the mounting costs. Every aspect
of the operation today is expected to pull its own weight,
except for the entertainment section. It still is a big loss
leader, because the few performers who can attract enough
customers to fill the showrooms draw tremendous salaries and
other fringe benefits.

THE
CASINO CHECKS ON A PLAYER'S ACTION
They generally break your action down into three First they'll
note the time you start playing. Then they'll, the average
bet you are making. And finally, they'll put the time you
stop gambling. Note that I said they study average bet. No
one expects you to make the same bet and over again. Gamblers
run in streaks, no matter what of luck they're experiencing.
Gamblers like to play the rush; that is, when they're winning,
they like to press up or in their bets. Conversely, when losing,
they tend to lower bets.
This is understood by casino
personnel. As we keep mentioning, they are flexible when assessing
gamblers. A player test the waters with $50 bets, then start
plunking down wagers. If he gets on a rush of winning bets,
he may $500. All this is taken into consideration by the person
watching his action.
On the other hand, a player
may start off horribly and recover. Within an hour he's been
wiped out. Let's took a marker for $3,000 and lost it all
in that short s time. He stops betting and retreats like a
wounded his room or the pool or wherever he can get some mind
and recoup his energy. The casino observer is noting, and
the fact that he only played for one hour instead of won't
be held against him. |
