How Young is Too Young to Play Poker?
We don’t allow anyone under the age of 21 to come into our gaming floor. I don’t think teenagers should gamble because they’re too naive at those ages. 21 should be minimum. That gives you some time to learn how being a responsible adult works. Starting young might just result in becoming...- Shawn

What's the craziest thing you've ever done on a whim?
I recently bought a device used to detect ghosts and spirits. Lol. It was like $200. I’m going to adapt some ghost hunting into my hiking videos.- Shawn

How do you stay healthy when sitting in a casino chair for 12 hours?
Many of the chairs are made for long use. Surveillance personnel usually get dispatch chairs. Those cost around $3000 a chair but they need to be comfortable.- Shawn

Do you believe in "lucky charms" or "lucky chairs"?
I don’t but a lot of people do. I’ve seen a patron flip a coin to get best out of 10. That means they flipped it 10 times. That was for a slot machine play. I’ve seen some that put all sorts of charms on their machines, rub the machines, etc. One tried to cover the result so they didn’t...- Shawn

AI Image Generator Tools
I use ChatGPT to generated images for my blogs and social media. I pay $25 a month for it. It’s very worth it compared to how much it would cost me to hire a graphic designer each time. I only make images that are obviously made. I don’t try to generate realistic images or try to fool people.- Shawn

Should dealers be allowed to give strategy advice to beginners?
I think so. It’s actually quite common. That’s how you get people into the game and get returning patrons. Help them learn how to spend their money haha- Shawn

What's the best way to spend a rainy day?
I’m a hiker. If it’s raining, that means the creeks and flowing and waterfalls are roaring! I get out in nature and enjoy the wet season. Otherwise, I’m at home editing videos. I also have a hiking YouTube channel. :)- Shawn

How often do you watch sports?
Not very often. If we’re out for dinner and the Olympics are on, I’ll watch that a little. I watch the highlights of the Tour de France. Cycling is like golf. It’s only fun when you’re doing it not watching it lol When I was a kid, we’d go to college basketball games in person. That was a...- Shawn

How to make money online easily?
Blogging for me has always been an easy way to make money online. Of course, if you aren’t into writing, then it’s not going to be that easy. But if you are, consistently write great content, build a community of readers, and throw some Google ads on the blog. I make a decent amount.- Shawn

In person our app (Sportsbook)
I’ve seen a lot of casinos introducing Sportsbook games in the casino. Some of them don’t work out and they close them after so long. I feel like it’s better as an app but I guess it’s harder for gaming commission regulators to control. What do you all think?- Shawn

Do you watch or follow any influencers that play poker?
I do for the purposes of gathering intelligence. I’m a casino Surveillance agent. Many influencers are advantage players. At least the ones I am following. By being an influencer, they’re making their content open source and public domain. So, that gives me the legal right to asses it as...- Shawn

How do you handle a "hygiene issue" with another player at the table
In most cases, security and a casino manager should pull the person aside away from others and tell them they will need to leave. It happens. It’s kind of sad to see but people should be more clean when they know they’re going to be sitting around a lot of people. It’s not fair to other...- Shawn

Should casinos ban phones at the table entirely?
Most ask that you don’t use them at the table game. Lots of people take selfies at tables and slots. Dealers and floor people are usually good about telling them they can’t at the pit. But around slots, most get away with it unless it’s becoming a problem for other patrons. But just...- Shawn

Should you ever play poker while "under the influence"?
It really all depends on the casino you’re playing at. State regulators might have specific rules in place for patrons who use alcoholic beverages at a casino. For example, in Illinois, you cannot be allowed to play while showing signs of obvious intoxication. A COA may be issued. That...- Shawn

What are the best qualities of a good poker player?
Someone who goes in to play and makes it a priority. If you see someone with a beer in their hand or playing with their social buddies, they're there for entertainment with a chance of winning. It's the loners who are into the game that are there to win.- Shawn

Luck or Skill
I think a lot of it is luck, especially in casinos. Most casino games are developed to give the house the advantage over the player. But it's the only way they stay in business! Casinos are really for entertainment more than anything.- Shawn
