Ok, it’s my 2nd time playing craps - Mountaineer Casino WV. I join a $5 min table with about 5-6 others playing. Everything’s fine, I’m playing Pass Line, taking Odds and an occasional Come or Place bet. Eventually the crowd thins out after playing for 1/2 hour and then I’m the only one left at the table. I keep playing figuring others will join.

After about 5, maybe 10 mins the boxman says, “hey buddy - why don’t you give it a rest.” He points to another pit across the floor and says, “Maybe you should try your luck over there.” This was after I had just won several Come bets and Pass Line bets to make back a chunk of my chips. No I wasn’t being an idiot nor had any drinks - just making normal bets and shooting the dice.

And while I was there playing on my own, I placed a bet for the dealers to try to keep them interested until someone else showed up. So, after the boxman’s remark, I colored up my chips, toked them $5 (because a couple other dealers were nice) and left.

Is there some unwritten rule that if you are at table by yourself for a period of time you should move along? Or was this guy just a jerk? BTW, after I left, 5 mins later there was 4-6 players back at the table.

Its too bad you had to experence that.  If I were a dealer i would prefer to to be working over standing at an empty table waiting for players.  The guy was a jerk and should not be dealing.

Next time dont tip the dealers

Good luck
Midnight

Nope - no unwritten rule. Casinos often times close down some of their tables due to inactivity, but usually it happens during a shift change, and the pit boss will give you fair warning ahead of time.

I agree with midnight; this dealer treated you inappropriately and should not be dealing with this sort of attitude.

I agree.  he was a loser.  He just wanted to leave early and wanted you to move so they could close the table.
I would of stayed because i am a controlled shppter and the least players the better
so next time just tell him to fuck off
lol
youre paying money to play and you tipped him so there is no reason that he should of came at you with that crap

I probably wouldn’t have tipped that dealer. His job is to sit there and work the tables and attract more players. If he doesn’t like it, he should look for another job.
