No, they're not lined up to attend the next Tony Robbins seminar. They're the new blackjack dealers coming to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
They had orientation Monday -- about 500 of them, I'm told -- and they're the folks who'll you'll be tipping and who you'll be rooting for to draw that facecard when they have a 6 and just turned over a 10 already. (No word if on their first day they all shouted WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!)
So learn their faces. Now. Right after you bookmark this blog.
In other news, the Seminoles are close to revealing their BJ rules -- I'm thinking they'll be pretty normal, considering there are nearby cruise ships that still stick on soft 17, offer surrender, etc. -- and, as I've said, as soon as I know, you'll know.
The Seminoles have targeted late June for blackjack's debut.
