Casinoboss Answers Your Questions: Part IV

I think it goes without saying that being nice to people who are empowered to help you can reap you many benefits.

Over the years I have managed to obtain recognition by several pit bosses/supervisors.

When I first sit down I look to see who is in the pit (blackjack--haven't played craps yet).

When a familiar "boss" strolls near by I call out "Hi Joe" and wave. Not loudly as to be obnoxious, just enough so they hear me look over at me. Almost without exception they respond with a big smile and come over and chat a bit.

While they can't (and I'm quite sure don't) break rules, they sometimes have "backed up" my time if I forgot to submit my card and the dealer could vouch for me. And I'm pretty sure they rate me as high as they reasonably can when they can. It isn't such as casino budget breaker, because $15-$25 is about as high as I go on an initial bet. But at least I'm confident they'll pay attention and be fair with me.


I know it never hurts to be "friendly" with the pit boss. I once sat at a BJ table at the Mirage and the pit boss finally came up to me and said, "I think you need a break, how about a buffet comp?". I thought that was really nice of him since I was staying at the Trop!
