1. The Gaming Board have told me that any person who holds a licence cannot play poker in the club. The "licenced" people in the club will be the Complaince Officer (white licence), Card Room Managers (Grey Licence), Final table Dealers (Red Licence). Technically this means that dealers who do not deal the final table in comps will be allowed to play, but this does not mean we will alllow it, as clearly may not look good, we'll have to see.
2. In terms of starting recruiting, I am doing that now. However, we are looking for top notch experienced dealers in the first instance that can deal all types of games, full or part time. We need to have a strong foundation before we take on less experienced "non professional" dealers.
3. In terms of numbers - 35 dealers, 25 hospitaility staff (bar, restaurant etc).
4. Of course we will need someone to help Chubbs clean out the toilets.
Our web site will be up in 4-6 weeks and people will be able to apply for jobs through that by sending a short CV.
PS. I know I said that I was not going to play the $25k WPT at the Bellagio after my Dublin self-destruction, I changed my mind, I've bought in and play on Wednesday. Biggest buy-in I have ever played in and 50,000 starting chips, should be an experience. The reason I have totally changed my mind is that I can now play Wednesday, which means I won't be mega jetlagged as I arrive in Vegas 11.55am Tuesday...................no that's a big lie...........I just can't resist such a fantastic tournament and I promissed myself I would play this year after I read all the updates on last years event.....sick person PLUS surely the law of averages says I'm due a WIN.
