As you watch me ruin my career, let me tell you how this mess got
started and why.
|
With a web design book
in one hand and a keyboard in the other, I launched this website in
the summer of 1997. At the time, I worked swing shift on the Las
Vegas Strip dealing craps and held a second job as an instructor at
a local dealing school during the day.
As an instructor, I
encouraged students to practice at home but getting used layouts
from casinos were hard to come by so I invented the
Dice Dealer Practice Mat.
It was a hit. It was suggested that I design a website to market the
training mat and
Dicedealer.com was born. |
The site has eight main sections each offering a little something for
all of us.
|
Dual Rates
- 'A guide to table game supervision'
Designed for dealers who
may have an interest in becoming a floor supervisor. What it is not,
are the opinions of one man, the author Dale Yeazel. This 15 chapter
of opinions belong to the hundreds of people that touched his casino
life. There is nothing like it on the net or in any published book
with such detail. This project is a wonderful resource that
supplements in-house training and college curriculum.
Stump A Lump.
Now under construction; Quiz based PowerPoint presentations
featuring the games Who wants to be a millionaire and
Craps Jeopardy. This is a huge time consuming mess to construct.
This replaces the old game that we had with much better graphics,
sound files and navigational structure. When completed they will be
converted to flash. |

Casino Stories:
It has always amazed me that so
many of my peers have sent in so many short stories. I'm particularly fond
of the short stories from days gone by. Humor is a big part of me. This
business offers plenty of it. Tales from the pits are what bonds us. All of
us. We all have a story or two. So please, if you would like to share an old
casino story, send it in. Make us laugh. We tease everyone on the site,
dealers, floor supervisors and even customers that visit casinos. It's all
in good fun. Don't take it so serious.
The
Interviews. What
make these interviews special is that the reader is allowed to
participate by asking questions.
The
Table Games
section offers opinions on casino dealing and is a nice reference for
those in dealing schools. Dealers helping future dealers. Many thanks go
out for the contributions sent in for this section of the site.
Poker Club.
NEW! Starting in March 2010 we will host the Casino Dealers and Floor
Supervisors Poker Challenge - On our brand new FREE -NO
DOWNLOAD - FLASH TEXAS HOLDEM poker table. Each month the top
points score will win a prize.
And
finally The
forums. The bread
and butter of most websites are message boards for networking. This one
is no exception.
This site is one of my hobbies. It will never make me rich but I'm still
having fun with it. Thousands of dealers and floor supervisors have
contributed their time in helping build all this. I am blessed to have
such support. I hope it becomes a small part of your life also. Thanks
for visiting. Enjoy the site.
P.S. My wife Jacki has her hair salon banner ad on the bottom of
all the pages. According to her, that is a fair exchange to keep her off
my back for spending so much time designing this mess. So again, as you
watch me ruin my career, please support hers.
