Last week, I was able to have one of the best moments in my life. I was asked to interview for a segment of the Conde Nast and GQ installment, "The Breakdown”. The episode was focusing on Pit Managers. I was pleasantly surprised when contacted. The surprise did not stem from the being asked questions about gaming and casino operations. I have always been a fan of GQ and patronized the magazine for information and visual inspirations for what to wear.
My business attire comes from Boyds of Philadelphia. The store is one of the best men stores on the East Coast and has
been mentioned several times in GQ.
Some of the questions posed to me by the producers were about my background and some of the places that I have worked. The questions about the relationship between the dealers and the players is what I want to share with you. The dealer is really hoping that the player does well so he will receive a tip or gratuity. The players have the impression that the dealers are their adversaries. The dealer makes most of his money from tips, so it is important to build a synergy with the player.
The best and most popular games are Blackjack and Baccarat. The odds are player friendly and the
availability of a game is generally high. While Covid 19 has changed the amount
of people allowed to play at one time, the public demand has not diminished. The producers seemed pleased with my
responses. They laughed when I told them I subscribe to the magazine. That 35
minutes was my WOW moment. It was done on Zoom. I dressed up as if I were going
to work. They noticed!
I felt like I has received an Academy Award nomination.
And the winner is
Just
to be considered means all the social media posts, the articles and the blog
post are being noticed by people and organizations that I have the utmost
respect for. Keep watching and get ready for my next big move. Look for me at the G2E.
