easy joe is a pro poker player and a house player at the commerce casino. that means he gets an hourly wage to sit at the tables and play poker all day. the money he wins or loses is his own, but at least he can count on the hourly rate. his job is basically to drum up excitement at the tables, make sure everyone's betting, and to act as a liason between the gambler and the house, should any disagreement arise. "easy joe" is an appropriate nickname for this guy - he takes it easy. nothing much seems to faze him, and he just kinda goes with the flow. though, as he put it, he used to be called "easy money", but then his ex-wife took all his money, so now it's just "easy joe".
