Premier night, Chris Nolan Deals Blackjack at the Whateveritsnameis country club somewhere in the vicinity of Reno.
I guess it was a charity event, or maybe it was a bunch of tourists on a sightseeing trip. All I know is that they paid fifty bucks a head to play and that they were paying my wage. The group was a little rowdy, they’d all been drinking.
All was going well until they started losing. I was pitching the down cards when the girl on third base decided to make a comment about her bad luck. “This dealer isn’t being very nice.”
The next card was to her. I pitched it high over her head and she gasped. The card caught air, reversed course and landed right behind her chips. She giggled.
I know I really shouldn’t do things like that, but there comes a time in a man’s life when he has to establish control over the situation.
All in all it was a pretty fun evening, an hour and a half at the table at scale and ten dollars in tips.
