Why all the secrecy about how much Wynn dealers make? If it's not $100K, how much is it? People are so quick to denounce that figure but they won't say how much it really is...why?

"Dealers live off of tips."

Nobody is begrudging you your tips but why all the secrecy about how much they are?? And back to the original story, why the need to advertise for tips? Aren't you making enough? And is it only dealers who have to work 6 and 7 days when a hotel opens? If it's so bad with long hours, overtime and not enough tips, why don't you do something else after 10 years of such mistreatment?

"I've always heard that dealers pool all tips equally, yet asign shifts based on seniority, i.e. senior dealers get Monday-Friday 8 to 5, yet get an equal cut of Friday and Saturday night money. Is this correct?"

Tips are generally pooled between all dealers for each day. And the hours are usually something like 4am to noon, noon to 8pm, 8pm to 4am. Isn't it odd that they always deny making good money but will never say how much they do make? What are they hiding from?

"Wynn dealers worked 10 hours a day 6 and 7 days a week."

That is a bigger lie than that they don't make anywhere close to $100K/yr!

For your information, I didn't read that figure in anything put out by Steve Wynn but was told that by at least 2 Wynn table games employees. I realize you are trying to hide that because you want sympathy for your cause and it's hard to get sympathy from the average worker who probably has 10 times the education you have and is making WAY less. But if I'm wrong about the amount, why don't you tell us how much it actually is???
