Let's go to the tape! 30 minute game delay at RR

[Repsychler]

I don't understand stopping the game at all. The only time I've hit a high hand jackpot, it was with quad 3's at the Golden Nugget. The manager came over, verified my hand, and we played on while the manager did some paperwork and brought me the $275 a few minutes later.
I can't imagine the point of stopping the game.

High hands used to take 15 minutes at Bally's a while back. Last time I played there and someone hit one, I figured "oh no, another long delay" and I headed to the restroom. They were already playing by the time I got back (and the high hand winner had given $5 to everybody at the table...except me since I wasn't at the table when he got his $300). Haven't played there since shortly before the $5 rake started.

In contrast, when I was playing at Harvey's (another Harrah's casino) last weekend, a gal hit quads, and the dealer just yelled to the floor that quads hit. No stopping to count the cards, check the deck, or anything.

Maybe because she only won 89 bucks...

In my room we call surveillance they verify the hand it takes no time.

What I suspect happened here, was the floor person was doing something else when the Jackpot hit. Instead of calling surveillance immediately the Floor poerson got involved in something else and forgot about the high hand.
