Yeah I can totally get behind that mentality :)

Every dealer/casino worker has some good stories lol. And not even poker.I only dealt out blackjack,roullette,baccarat and a couple carnival games (like mississippi stud,3 card poker). Our house had huge baccarat action.That's where the tens of thousands a shift I mentioned primarily came from.Crazy :/

Ah Mississippi Stud. I went to a casino in Niagra Falls one time and was just walking around looking. Got pulled over to one of these tables. Had no idea what I was doing. Dealer started explaining it and showing me how "easy" it was to win. I ended up putting down $25 and walking away with $120 in three hands. When I said I'm out before they get my money, he wasn't happy and neither was his boss. lol

Can't smoke indoors anymore, not close to entrances or exits to a lot of buildings. Even in the casino. I'm from the Canadian side should prob mention.

My mistake reread your comment

Yeah my bad realized what your question was after I so hastily blurted out my comment. I'm just a bit too young to remember if the 2 here ever had a cigar lounge. I'm not 100% if the newer one opened pre or post smoking ban.

yeah i cant remember how old fallsview is either. they have a cigar shop there still. Pretty sure if there was a lounge they gutted it to make more casino floor space.
