Woody fingers is a term used by players at a poker table to describe a dealer they are not
happy with - they are indicating that the dealer who may be male or female is not shuffling the cards correctly - they have
woody fingers and the cards are remaining un-shuffled throughout the game. It is not so much a way of cheating as more of an indication of an incompetent dealer
'The Dealer on this game is terrible,
Millie has told him ten times to
cut the cards different but he doesn't- he's like a robot, the guy has
woody fingers for sure'
'Mickey got so fed up with that woody fingers dealer he ended up ripping the cards up and swearing at him'
