To begin, lots of casinos have electronic versions of traditional table games.<\/p>\n
So-called “hybrid” games (ones that still have a live dealer) solve a number of challenges for casinos, their main benefit being cost savings on labor. It’s worth mentioning Silver Sevens has not let any dealers go due to the changes in its table games.<\/p>\n
The biggest selling point for players? Low table minimums.<\/p>\n
The biggest difference overall is these games are chipless. Cue the sad trombone for all the chip collectors out there. (Although, if you already have chips from a casino that moves to chipless, the value of your collection just went up.)<\/p>\n
In many cases, hybrid games are a compromise so a casino doesn’t have to shut down its table games pit completely, as has happened at several casinos in recent years.<\/p>\n
Casino Royale’s table games have yet to return. Tuscany<\/a> bailed on table games until they returned recently. Railroad Pass<\/a>, in Vegas-adjacent Henderson, also dumped its table games.<\/p>\n Our friends at Vegas Advantage<\/a> have done an excellent job of keeping an eye on these trends. They were the first to share the changes at Silver Sevens and at the casinos in Primm as well.<\/p>\n The terminology about what’s happening at these casinos can be confusing. The headline at Vegas Advantage says, “Live Table Games No Longer Dealt in Primm.” All these hybrid games have dealers, though. They’re still live games. Some refer to them as “dealer-assisted” table games.<\/p>\n As most blackjack and roulette tables only have one dealer to begin with, the biggest change is for craps players.<\/p>\n At Silver Sevens, the table games pit now has one Shoot to Win Craps table (one dealer, 10 seats, $5 minimum), four blackjack tables (one dealer, five seats, $5 minimum) and one roulette table (one dealer, two wheels, eight seats).<\/p>\n The cards are real, the wheels are real, the dice are real (and rolled by guests). Live games, just not the way you’re used to playing.<\/p>\n For casinos, the benefits go beyond just cost savings. There’s also something called “game protection.” When chips and cash are used, cheating is more prevalent, along with employee theft and collusion. The folks at Vegas Advantage think the move to chipless games at Primm casinos may have to do with a recent theft we were the first to report, of course. A woman wiggled her way into an unstaffed casino cage and took $652,000 in cash and chips. Chipless tables take chips out of the equation.<\/p>\n Hearing Primm Valley Casino cage was robbed tonight, mid six figures. Biggest twist: Primm Valley Casino had mid six figures in its cage.<\/p>\n — Vital Vegas (@VitalVegas) July 19, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rjvxnlsm.shop\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/boomer-845x563.jpg\")
