1) They are two companies owned by the same people. They split up the companies to avoid liabilities one is the casino the day to day money maker and the other is the domain name and its services. That way if the casino gets sized or shut down they keep the more valuable domain name. If the domain name staff screws up they don't lose the casino. Chances are very good the company that handles customer service is actually split from the holding company that owns the domain name and leases the domain from another third company.
2) If you believe that Sodapoppin tipping Andy outside of the established casino tipping system is not the reason why he got fired and its because the casino was upset at him being e-famous then you really are extremely dense I am sorry. The casino splits the tips between all the dealers and other staff currently working when the tips come in and themselves why would they be ok with Andy getting paid outside of the system? Those tips are a huge money maker for them and the staff. This shit is common sense man come on.
3) Andy is a grown ass man with kids. He is not going to throw Soda under the bus and out him as the reason why when that 2000 dollars could still be his and perhaps more if he plays his cards right. The guy is hoping that Soda will step up and pay him. He needs that money for his two kids. However I and a lot of us are not children as well and know full well if you go to a casino and tip outside of their established system you are going to be causing a huge problem for that dealer. If Soda did not pay Andy today you can bet your fat ass Andy would have eventually outed him. When you have kids to feed you do not lash out like a maniac until you have nothing to lose.
