Beware "teams" who might try to steal from you as you play slot and video poker machines.
Three times I was "bumped" while sitting at an end machine in the video poker area and each time as I looked up to see who "bumped" me I also noticed that there was a "partner" standing behind me close to my "cash out" button.
I am familiar with this routine, so when I am bumped I immediately put my hand over the cash out button, and immediately turn to see if there are any "confederates."
After the third "bump" I cashed out and moved to another area. I reported this to a manager and to security and they immediately increased the number of security in the video poker room.
Then I was in the high limit room and two women decided to come by and sit at the machine next to me. Neither was playing. Both of them had a glass of wine, and both tried to make small talk. I told them right from the beginning that I was concentrating and didn't want to have a discussion.
One of the two women (the second to come by) actually started to rub my machine "for good luck" however just a few inches from where she was rubbing for good luck I had several cash out tickets for $1,000 each (had a good night). I told her don't do that and please go away.
Later, another player I know came by to say "hello" and wanted to have a conversation. And I was in absolutely no mood at this point.
Meanwhile I had security and surveillance watching.
