Kris Letang and teammates play dealers for 2015 Aces and Ice Event!
Kris Letang played dealer along with the rest of his teammates for the 2015 Aces and Ice event. The players were “dealers” for various gambling events and table games.
“LETANG RULES”
“You want to deal?” Kris Letang said to Bortuzzo at one point in the night.
“No, I’m going to go shoot craps,” Bortuzzo replied.
And so Letang continued his version of blackjack dealing, operating by his own standards.
“We enjoyed Letang. We played by ‘Letang rules,’” Sarah O’Brien said.
Somewhere between struggling to count the cards and fumbling the cards in an attempt to shuffle them, Letang developed his own version of blackjack.
“The Letang rules are, I would say, three times out of four you win. I will make it happen depending on the card I get,” Letang said.
The defensemen turned dealer was merciful at the head of the table, which explains the altered rules.
“I felt bad for people, actually,” Letang said. “I can’t even imagine the people in Vegas that really lose real money. I feel bad because I’m just in control.”
Marc-Andre Fleury had a similar mindset over at the opposite end of the arena. During his first few hands of the night, whenever the Penguins goaltender dealt someone a bad card he would casually throw it to the ground and pretend he never drew it; that it didn’t exist.
“Let’s just say he wasn’t very happy about it and he expressed it perfectly in perfect English,” joked Hayes. “He’s just a normal guy, very helpful to the players. Very personable. It was great. Had a wonderful time. My wife is playing. She knows nothing about blackjack and he just helped her out.” – Source and for more about the evening!
