The Real True Internet News

Today marks the third day of a Las Vegas Local Gamblers Union labor dispute. Real True Internet News called strike leader “Lucky” Larry Cash for a statement about the strike.

“When the Union was formed in the late sixties, you could make a living at casino gambling. Blackjack games all used one deck and you could make about $100 per day counting cards. You could sit in at a poker game full of tourists and make $500 easy in a couple hours. Now it’s all changed. For blackjack they stuff eight or ten decks into a big plastic thing they call a shoe so counting is useless. The poker players all think they’re the next Johnny Chan or Chris Moneymaker, wearing sunglasses at the table, and you can’t figure out their tells as easy anymore. People work to make money but our Union members have been working to lose money. You can’t win in the casinos so much anymore. So we’re on strike until they change the blackjack tables back to single decks and get rid of all those World Poker Tour wannabe champions. The strike could last a very long time.”
