Its also one reason why I just pick up two dice and throw them. I don't know, but they sure make money for themselves and for the house only when dealing, so they deal very fast or they get fired. Those blackjack dealers may soak their wrists in liniment every night. I'd rather wind up on the wrong side of a rough rule of thumb than have them take time to be precisely accurate. Its 'action' times 'house edge' but its decisions per hour that count.Īs for the casinos just picking a number and going with it for Comp purposes: that is fine with me. The house edge is zero if the blackjack dealer is shuffling. The house edge is zero if the dice are stationary. Those boats deal very fast.Įven in a place like Hawaiian Gardens in Los Angeles, bingo numbers are called out every 4.2 seconds. The Strip is fast in Vegas, the downtown and locals casinos are thought to be generally slower sometimes of necessity due to inexperienced dealers. I've never seen dice move faster than on those day boats in Florida.
One reason these darned dice setters are so hated is the house just wants to keep the dice moving. The 'official' rate of rolls per hour or something is probably a rounded off figure easy to remember and easy to multiply.
