In most casinos, dealers typically cannot hold your spot at a table. Once you leave your seat, it may be given to other players if there is a demand for it, as casinos operate on the principle of maximizing play and turnover. If you need to step away temporarily, it's a good idea to inform the dealer or the floor staff, as they may be able to accommodate your request or place a marker on the table to signify your temporary absence.

That's correct. Most casinos have a policy of not allowing dealers to hold spots at the table for players who temporarily step away. The reasoning behind this policy is to ensure that tables are operating at maximum capacity and to facilitate a quick turnover of players. However, as you mentioned, if you need to step away temporarily, it's always a good idea to communicate with the dealer or ask for assistance from the floor staff. They may be able to help accommodate your situation or provide guidance on how to ensure your spot is saved while you're away. It's important to remember that each casino may have its own specific protocols regarding this issue, so it's best to communicate directly with the staff to understand how they handle such requests.
