Meet the Crew

So you want to know who we are, eh?


"The Captain" Tom Putko

  • Favorite Game: Blackjack
  • Favorite Casino: The Borgata, Atlantic City
  • Favorite Bet: Come
  • Comp Cards: Harrah's, Taj Mahal, Claridge, Sands, Bally's, Resorts, Caesar's, Trump Plaza, and Borgata Red
  • Credit Rating: Red Chip

The Captain has probably enjoyed more successful nights than any other member of the crew. Since he turned 21, The Captain has enjoyed the free RFB (room, food, and beverage) at casinos everywhere.



Spencer "Press up my 6 and 8!" Baldwin

  • Favorite Game: Craps
  • Favorite Casino: Caesar's Palace Casino Hotel
  • Favorite Bet: The Three-Way Crap
  • Comp Cards: Claridge, Caesar's, Mohegan Sun, Harrah's
  • Credit Rating: Green Chip

Spencer is almost as seasoned as The Captain. Although his methods are more shaky. His goal is to bring down the casinos to their knees, his weapon--a pair of dice. Mr. Baldwin's play is ALWAYS good at Bally's Las Vegas.



David "The Natural" Reis

  • Favorite Game: Baccarat
  • Favorite Casino: Claridge Casino Hotel
  • Favorite Bet: The Bankers
  • Comp Cards: Claridge, Harrah's, Trump Taj, Trump Plaza, Sands, Bally's Park Place, Mohegan Sun, Caesar's
  • Credit Rating: White Chip

Now a full fledge Crew member, the Natural is the first member of the crew to receive the full benefits of RFB from an Atlantic City casino. Through his persistence in Baccarat, Dave is able to enjoy the comps the casino offers, while also shrinking their bankrolls.



Doug "Only on the Weekend" Stoffa

  • Favorite Game: Craps
  • Favorite Casinos: Beau Rivage, Biloxi, Mississippi and El Cortez, Las Vegas, Nevada
  • Favorite Bet: The Pass Line
  • Comp Cards: Harrah's, Caesars, Bally's WWW, Bally's Las Vegas, Rio Suites, Casino Magic, The New Palace, The Sands, The Clairidge
  • Credit Rating: Black Chip

Doug can only go to Atlantic City on the weekend. He once had an amazing run at Harrah's in which he rolled the dice for 45 consecutive minutes, unfortunately, for Doug, he was only betting the pass line, and was unable to cash in on the repeating numbers.



Robert "Taras Bulba" Machado

  • Favorite Casino: The Sands Resort Casino
  • Favorite Game: Let it Ride
  • Favortie Bet: Lettin' it ride
  • Comp Cards: Sands, Caesar's
  • Credit Rating: Does not qualify

Robert ventured with the Crew on a late night mission to Atlantic City. He attempted to employ the Captain's '5-count', but had some bad luck early and didn't stick with the system. He then went on to play Let It Ride Poker, becoming the resident expert on the game, being that he is the only crew member to have ever won playing it. (The Captain--"Let It Ride is an unbeatable game.") Rob can also inform you about cut-throat female chinese blackjack dealers who have no souls.



Ed "Does Goldman go there?" Ignacio

  • Favorite Game: Blackjack
  • Favorite Casino: Unknown
  • Favorite Bet: Unknown
  • Comp Cards: Unknown
  • Credit Rating: Pumpkin

Has risen in the rank of all crew members and has since been prompted to Captain of the Mid-West Crew.



James Veneziano

  • Favorite Game: Blackjack
  • Favorite Casino: The Claridge Casino Hotel
  • Favorite Bet: Splitting Aces
  • Comp Cards: Claridge, Harrah's, Taj Mahal, Trump Castle
  • Credit Rating: Does not Qualify

One of The Captain's close betting partners from Staten Island. Often curses when they change dealers at the Blackjack table. Known to drive to AC at odd hours of the night.



Jason Bloom

  • Favorite Game: Blackjack
  • Favorite Casino: The Claridge Casino Hotel
  • Favorite Bet: $5 blackjack
  • Comp Cards: Claridge
  • Credit Rating: Does not Qualify

Another of The Captain's partners from Staten Island. Hard-pressed to tip a cocktail waitress or dealer. Often begs for money when he has lost his stake.



Taner "That's the way, bro!" Coban

  • Favorite Game: Simulcasting
  • Favorite Casino: The Sands Casino Hotel
  • Favorite Bet: $2 trifecta box
  • Comp Cards: Unknown
  • Credit Rating: Does not Qualify

Taner's best luck has been at the racetrack, where he has thrown the NJ Sports and Exposition Authority a beating. Much like Goldman, he keeps his Casino losses to a minimum.
