croupier

This year they have collected more cards than a croupier.

Commentators Bill Leslie and Andy Hinchcliffe said his clothing made him look like a "croupier" - someone who oversees gaming tables at casinos.

Since casinos allow players to place a bet after the ball has been dropped, all Thorp and Shannon needed to do was to figure out how to measure the speeds and process them in the few seconds before the croupier closed the betting.

“Croupier” got a second life, returning to theaters in Britain.

Mr. Hodges said that until those American reviews, his disappointment over the original lack of attention to “Croupier” had him considering quitting the business.
