About a half hour after I got there, an Asian lady took an old crumpled plastic bag out of her purse. Cash buy in, $75,000.

Yep, it took them a few minutes to do that count + drop.
Big cash is always whacky to see. In the last place I worked before departing on the cruiseship casino life I was in one of the top clubs in London. Our Bac table had 100k chips in the float. Roulette had plaques as well as chips for denoms up to a million GBP and we'd be tossed one of these during a spin, had to book the bet and make change before the ball dropped...

Didn't get a huge Bac game there, but it was part of a chain of London casino (The flagship for high end gaming) so on a quiet night they would whisk is away in limos to help out at the lower end clubs (some of which were still super action clubs but didn't come with the 1000 GBP annual membership... ) my mate went with me and was told to supervise a heaving Bac game, full sized table with high stool tennis umpire like individual supervisor. The game was packed and good sized action occuring, bets in five figures. As he came from the flagship it was assumed he was an expert. However he had never been taught Bac and didn't even know how a player won, let alone drawing rules and vig! He bs-d his way through it by looking stern...all ended well.

Good memories, I still like Bac but I always try to bet the break not the streak as whilst some people think all things must streak I think all streaks must end...
