Re: The ol\' hidden high denomination chip trick
[ QUOTE ]
I was surprised the floor didn't ask more questions. Dealer explained what happened, but with no emphasis at all on the nearly invisible black chip neatly tucked away at the bottom of the blue stack (which may have something to do with the victim being a tourist and the angle shooter being a known-by-name-by-all-the-employees regular). But he did lay the chips out showing the stack of red and the stack of blue/black, and the victim did say the black was hidden at the bottom. Floor then instantly ruled "you said call, you owe him $143" and walked off.

This is the problem. The floorman doesn't truly understand the issues, so he makes a ruling based on what he understands the issue to be. The floorperson has a responsibility to protect the integrity of the game, this floorperson failed in this reguard.
