Frank Kneeland ran video poker teams for years. He said they didn't want employee's that knew to much or wanted to be professional gamblers. They didn't hire professional gamblers or anyone who aspired to be a professional gambler. They worked for an hourly wage, a bonus if they were the one to hit the royal, and slot club benefits. Potential employee's were given a video poker strategy sheet to study and were tested for their ability.
This is the way a lot of blackjack teams operated 10-20 years ago. They wanted disposable or throw away players. I was involved with such a team for a short period 15 years ago. I knew what they were yp to but needed the money to build my BR. I got out quickly.
