The roulette dealer,
also known as the roulette croupier, is a highly trained and skilled casino
staff member. They need to be quick thinking to ensure speedy and secure
payouts. They need to be co-ordinated enough to set the wheel and ball in
motion, and all the while ensuring firm command and good security. This is not
to mention the day in day out abuse from losing customers who so often, and
very annoyingly, attribute their losses to the roulette dealer.
It’s definitely quite a
hard life being a roulette dealer. The pay is usually only reasonable and the
shift patterns are anything but ideal, especially with casinos being open 24/7.
The roulette Croupier
will normally start with basic behind the scenes training, before being
introduced to the gaming room floor for some real action.
The dealer is very
important to the professional roulette player and much of what they are taught
in the early days will later reflect on the extent to which they are playable.
For example there are two very different types of roulette ball throws and the
chances are high that a rookie dealer will follow the style of their mentor.
This will often be the case with wheel speeds and wheel speed variation too.
The professional
roulette player will have favourite dealers and I wouldn’t want to over
emphasize or publish the factors that make for the perfect dealer but in the
eyes of the professional they do play an important part and getting on well and
always avoiding controversy with them, will always pay dividends.
If you like the rookie
dealers then Saturday night is when they are mostly in together, as the old
boys get the week ends off more often. If you like the lazy type of dealer then
late, towards the end of their shifts is when they are vulnerable to the
professional. By vulnerable I mean more likely to be tired and focusing less on
varying the wheel speed and more about getting home!
Roulette croupiers can
be put into two groups that each take a different approach. There are those
croupiers who see their job merely as a first step on the ladder to much bigger
and better things like inspecting, being a pit boss or even joining the
management. These dealers will be highly motivated and loyal to the company
that they see as their future. They will be the type of dealer that don’t like
to see players winning and will always go out of their way to try and change
the fortunes of players that are doing well by manipulating the spin action or
speed of the ball release.
The other type of
roulette croupier is far less interested in a long term future in the gaming
industry but more about being employed, only whilst it suits. These dealers are
far less bothered about how much a player wins and sometimes quite likes it. I
shall always remember an inspector who came to spin the wheel because he had
just been reprimanded and demoted back to dealing. This guy was not happy, he
knew I was a professional roulette winner and he just decided to get his own
back on his bosses by putting it all on a plate for me by giving me perfectly
constant wheel and ball spins. It was one of the most powerful margin moments I
recall and all because in this case the dealer actively wanted me to win. He
looked very satisfied with himself afterwards, as indeed was I !!

Roulette dealers are
said to have their own unique throw patterns known as dealer’s signatures.
Mathematically, it feels logical that if two balls are thrown in exactly the
same way then the same result is more likely than any other. This may be the
case, but presumably exact means exact and that isn’t humanly possible to
ensure. Throwing the ball in a repetitive way does help to create a dealer
pattern but in fact the dealer’s signature requires a number of other factors
to be in place before it is truly noticeable and playable.
It is often claimed that
a good croupier can deal certain sections to either suit a player or not. As
someone who can do this myself, I know only too well why very few dealers will
actually achieve this. I always show customers a few dealer spins and on
average I would guess I get their number about 1 in about 10 spins.
You can also see several
videos demonstrating this on the website, although this is just for fun at home
and not connected to the visual roulette system, other than being based on the
same roulette system principles, crucial to all genuine winners of roulette.
