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.

For the first 7 years this was a site intended merely for craps dealers. I added CasinoDealers.Net to the domain in 2004. During this time the days of dealing 'craps only' were numbered as more casinos wanted multi-game dealers. So it made sense. Rather than change the name of the site I simply added a new theme.

I love the casino business. I still work in the pits as a floor supervisor.  This site is one of my hobbies. It will never make me rich but I'm still having fun with it. 

 

I have an avid interest in casino stocks and related news. The home page which was deigned for my personal interests  ("My first cup of coffee in the morning page") is also intended to keep readers abreast of the industry we work in. I feel it is very important to keep a keen eye on this particularly in light of today's economy. 

 

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.

The site has seven other sections each offering a little something for all of us. 

Casino Stories are my favorite. 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. 

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.  

Then there are the interviews. What made these interviews special is that the reader was allowed to participate by asking questions rather than me asking all the questions.  Let's just say at the time we did those, it was fun and informative.

The 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. The newest section is the site will cater to poker dealing in a magazine format. We'll start this project late 2008. We need help. Now if I can just find a poker editor to take that section and do something with it, I would be happy.

And finally The forums. The bread and butter of most websites are message boards for networking. This one is no exception. It was designed to be a fun and informative place to visit

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 as you watch me ruin my career,  please support hers.
