I'm really getting sick of hearing people bitch about how much Canadian casinos suck, that vegas is better etc. Seriously, we are not vegas, we are not even in the same country as vegas, and we have different laws and regulations to follow.
One of the policies at my casino is that patrons can only have one drink (alcohol, obviously) every 45 minutes, and they do not serve doubles. This is to protect the players from getting drunk and losing all their money because they are drunk, it's also a cya thing for the casino, and I believe it's a BCLC regulation. There are also no free drinks, we do not want you drunk in the casino, if you are drunk you will be asked to leave, simple as that.
Anything said about weapons or violence of any sort is taken seriously and players are either warned, or talked to by sercurity and/or the RCMP depending on what has been said. Saying anything about bombs or anything like that is as bad as saying it in an airport. I mean really, in a place with this much money, why would you be stupid enough to say anything like that.
Anything said about suicide, even the most offhand comment is taken seriously, I once had a woman say something along the lines of "OMG I should just kill myself now" in a completely offhand way, jokingly even and she was spoken to by the RCMP and security, she was pissed off about this, but when money is involved and people can spend thousands you really have to watch.
This one I kind of see both sides of it, in the casino I work at and all the ones within the company there is no swearing allowed at the tables. This pisses people off to no end, and really unless they are swearing loudly and being generally rude it doesn't bother me, in fact half the time I don't even hear it. It is an adult environment, not a family one, so that's not the problem. From the casino's point of view though, it makes sense, it's to prevent fights from erupting, and other such things. So while I do follow the policy if people get loud about thier swearing, I tend to let it go if they are just doing it under their breath when they lose a hand.
Lastly I have a little rant about players who bitch about the automatic shufflers. Shufflers make my life easier, they make the game go faster, and no they are not rigged, as much as you may want to believe that. they are random number generators (I've been informed) so the cards are in fact coming out in a random order, it's not my fault if you get a crappy hand, I have no control over the shuffler. That is all!
