My Gosh i never excepted such a debate.

Am i a member of staff?? thankfully no although i never realised so many casino staff used this forum.

My original point was not to vindicate anyone especially but to just see if this goes on constantly around the country.

Who is Yogi and who is Blue Wolf? i remember seeing 3 members of the floor team so i'm guessing that GiGi is one of them also and is anyonegot a manager there?

HI....
         been browsing the forum for a while but never felt enough to warrant a post before today. 


Today i was in attendance at Blackpools Big weekend 2 300 double chancer and witnessed scenes tha made me cringe.
 Firstly before i begin dont get me wrong the competition was well run throughout by the team on the floor and the dealers all put in the effort expected but the behaviour  by certain individuals was appauling to say the least.


Apparently the Casino has been experiencing some issues regarding a lack of cash game dealers recently ( hasn't everywhere? ) and from what i gather this is relentless of the best efforts of the floor staff ( NO not the girls serving drinks either ), however cash game dealers were laid on throughout the night as much as a few of them made it very clear they didnt want to be doing it (another problem i feel). An incident occured where a few players asked if it were posssible for a 4th cash game to be started as reserve lists were long and players were rooted to their juicy seats. The supervisor at the time sai it was unlikely due to the fact it was getting late into the night and staff were due to be going home shortly and the demand didnt really justify anothe rgame starting.  I and a few others agreed with this but 1 individual as always decided to have a word in the shell like of a casino manager who immediately came crashing down deanding to know why that decison was made and said the decision was  and i quote "Bullshit", now this strikes me as hardly a proffesional approach to dealing with your staff and also showed a massive lack of respect to the supervision team and their decisions. I have witnessed some horrendous decisions in my time but managers when asked about them have always backed their supervisors as they should IMO.

Secondly due to tonights competition being the main feature and having a 20 reg fee the pospect of a buffet was in mind for most players but alas was not to be. Apparently a request had been made but it was felt by the powers that be to say no and instead offfer the players ( the health concious lot that they are lol) a paltry platter of fruit, which by no means went down well, again the supervision team were apologetic to this but the matter was out of their hands.

There was a whole lot more that went on too but its late and i need sleep after a hard nights poker to be fresh tomorrow.

I will add though, that Blackpool has had quite an accolade as of late for its superb orginisation i'm just wondering how hard the floor team must be working in order to keeep the place afloat as it seems they have very little in support form anywhere else within their own club, some o the staff even dont speak highly of them but to keepe the place credible ( and its much better than that) would be a task alone by the displayed attitud eof those who are supposably in charge ( and no doubt take the pat on the back from head office ) when we have 3 people who obviously want to make things better being held back by people in suits who either dont know what the hell they are doing or really dont give a shit about the game we love!!!!

So hats off to the team there when so many others would simply give up and i implore any Blackpool memebers here to show their support and i hope someone shows the power sthat be my post here ( I May write a letter yet ) give these guys some credit and respect the fact that they strive to improve things but are being held back by idiots ( not polite i know but deserved according to some tonight)

Although its not all bad with the powers there, the seem to be very good at gossiping drinking tea and smoking
