I have been going to this Indian Midwest Casino for about 10 years, almost since they started. Almost all the 70+ dealers and all the supervisors probably know me, although I don't socialize. I visit the place, may be, 2-3 times a week playing 2 hours at a time.
I used to play 6D since that's all they had , but since the last 2 yrs I play 2D pitch exclusively Mostly $5, sometimes $10 table. My wins are usually meager as the rules and penetration are awful. (Yes, I go there as I am hooked)
I spread 1-5 and rarely jump the bet. No PC has ever paid more than a cursory glance at me. I use my player's card.
Now last Friday, as I was playing at a $10 table, I raised the bet to $25 at a suitable high count and placed a tip bet for the dealer (cover).
As I glanced I noticed the pit supervisor intensely staring at me from his nearby desk with a stern expression. It was clear that it was I that he was looking at and clearly let it be known that the look was severe, intense and non friendly.
Of course I lost the bet. In a few minutes, he had walked away and it looked like he did not pay any attention to me afterwards , although I did not look at his direction any more than normal.
This was puzzling to me. 99.5% of the players are floppies. I do come across some counters occasionally and some of them are so blatant and obvious that Vegas eye would bar them in a jiffy, but the most PCs at this place had no clue . I have never ever, ever, seen any one warned, threatened or barred.
Why did this guy give me that look? If someone behind the eye regularly watched my play , that will indeed raise some eyebrows (no pun intended). Did the eye in the sky ask him to watch me? Is this how the first chapter starts before the eventual 8-6 ?
Should I be worried? nonchalant? Panic? I am nonwhite, does it matter?
I have, since, been there couple of times and had nothing unusual happen. I do participate in BJ tournaments and won big once.
Has any one heard of a barring in a Midwest Indian Casino?
I have reviewed my will and life insurance status since.
