"I think she is a whore"

Sometimes you just have those players that feel they are deserving of not only winning every hand, but getting paid when they do not play, that is what this posting is about.

Let me paraphrase by saying that the casino I work at is not in a great part of town. The area is rich in drugs, prostitutes and is one of the poorest parts of the city.

There is a girl, we will call her Amy who comes in on a daily basis, most of us know her by name and we know what she is about. Amy is somewhat attractive if your into her type and can be as sweet as can be yet can be the biggest ghetto bitch you ever met, just depends on her day and mood. Amy typically is the type that will bring a few bucks, play and then leech around, trying to get money from the players who she can charm, and typically it does not take much.

The day was a typical day on dealer land, I was dealing the UTH game when one of our regulars, I will call him Joe comes over and sits down with Amy. They are talking and having a good time, there are three or four other players at the table at the time and Amy buys in for $40 bucks, just enough to play one hand including trips with-out betting more than 1x on the play. Amy loses that hand and brings out a $20 and ask for all pink ($2.50) chips and my curious mind wonders what she is going to do with those. A few hands are played and Amy has yet to make a move with her pink chips but she is telling others how they should play, something that bugs me. Then she strikes, she ask the other players to play the pinks their trips, something our casino typically forbids because of issues in the past. I quickly try to shut her down but as anyone who works in my casino knows, the floors typically have no backbone and gives into the players 9 times out of 10 even when the player is not right, which this floor does for Amy. So she passes her pinks to everyone but one player who I think we shall call Bob. Bob decides to have no part in her little game but instead tells Amy that for every hand he gets paid on the trips, he will just give her $5. Now Bob is a player who is always there, plays this game often and knows the in and out of how we operate. Bob also does not like conflict, typically is a good tipper and a nice guy over all, he is one of the few honest players who will not try to cheat you.

So this goes on for about an hour and Amy gets up and decides to go to the restroom, not 30 seconds after she gets up Joe says "I think she is a whore" to which I smiled and said "No shit". I say it from experience, when I was in security she is the same one that was caught in the car in the garage on a previous post.

So Amy comes back, she has lost all of her pinks and only two players are left at the table not counting her. She gets several free drinks from the cocktail waitresses and never tips them a penny, she check changes $20 here and there so she can add to the trips bets of the other player who will let her and continues on her business. This goes on for several hours, every few hands asking for check change and she starts to heckle me, laughing at my frustration with her, and the fact that the guy who was tipping me $5 or more every time he hit on his trips is now not giving a dime to us dealers while she has a nice $200-300 in chips that she is getting from him for nothing more than sitting there looking pretty.

So a new floor came in as the other floor has a different skill set and they needed him else ware and this floor came over and seen what was going on and shot them down, its policy and this floor has a spine. To say, I am by the book, I don't vary from the rules unless my supervisor tells me to and so this just made me smile inside. About 20 minutes in from being shot down Amy ask Joe if she can join him for lunch and Joe ask her if she is buying to which she said "No" and Joe basically told her that he was not using his comps on a "dirty whore". I died laughing, Amy walked away with her stacks of chips, refused to color up and was gone.

Typically Joe and I do not see eye to eye, he likes to question how I am strict with the rules and not give in, he does not tip and is there all the times, for hours on end and at times never playing. But this day Joe and I were like best friends and it was great.

And because I like to poke fun, I was dealing to Bob a few days later and I asked him what he got from her for her $ and was confused, and when Joe told him she was a hooker he looked confused and acted like he had no clue.
