Phil Ivey ordered to repay $9.6M in Bacarrat winnings

Maybe they were playing in accordance with the NJ rules, maybe they weren't.  But if they weren't, they were playing in accordance to the rules explicitly agreed to between Ivey and the casino, and both parties were therefore in violation of NJ law.  It doesn't seem to me that should
be grounds to order Ivey to give the money back.  If anything, it seems that would be grounds for the state to seize his winning, and for the casino to be fined for violating the law, and maybe losing their license.

Speaking of gambling and casinos - a rather large casino is going to be opening about 30 minutes from my house. I like blackjack, and I've always thought being a blackjack dealer would be kind of fun. I've been considering seeing if I can get a part time gig there, maybe 1 night a week or two, dealing blackjack.

I'm sure it is, but make sure your credit is in good order.  Getting a job in a casino is as tough as getting a job at a bank or an armored car company.

Well, I just left my job as a VP at a rather large bank, so I think I should be ok...

Maybe.  You bounce around a lot, though.  Inconsistent and transient.  Probably don't even have a land line.  Red flags everywhere.

Although, VP of a bank. Not many of those around.

No kidding. I was a unique flower, one of just 2000 or so. Or maybe 200. Or something.

You can't shake a stick at a bank without whacking a VP or a dozen up the side of the head.

I dunno, man.  You just don't strike me as the kind of guy that would enjoy deal having to deal with obnoxious drunks most of the day.

And crabby. A lot of bitchy old people play blackjack.

You are probably right. I suspect it would be the kind of thing that sounds good in theory, but in reality  I would do it for about two weeks and say "Fuck this shit" and bail.

I'm also moderately certain that casinos don't offer part time dealer gigs.

Maybe you could look around for organizations running charity casino nights.

Google says that part time dealers are a thing. Saw some casino ads about looking.

A friend of mine dealt part time in Atlantic City, on the weekends. It's certainly a thing.
