    Actually the very worst promo I ever saw in Vegas was the Hooters fake $100 in free slotplay.

    It was heavily promoted.

    However, when you got there, they walked you over to a bank of "promo" machines, and they inserted $100 for you. The $100 was meaningless. You had to run it up to $1700 to get an actual $100 paid out to you. If you didn't get it to $1700, you'd play until you busted the $100.

    So it wasn't a free $100 slot play. It was just spinning slots at relatively low limits until you made a $1600 profit, in which case they'd give you $100. So it would likely take hours to get there, if you did at all, and most didn't.

    Some people had been spinning for like 6 hours and not getting there, so they upped the per-spin value, but it was still the same problem to a lesser degree.

    Complete fraudulent promo, but unfortunately not illegal.

    One of the coupons on the monthly promo sheet at Casino Royale was similar, but I think was only $25 or $50. Had to hit any of the top jackpots to win actual cash.

    I had one of those as a New Member at a Casino that is a little out of my way. I was mad, especially since the only reason I even joined was because a Fellow Gambler from one of my frequented Casinos told me he won $25 as a Brand New Member just about a week prior. I thought $25 is actually a really decent "Welcome," Bonus. I got 0 instead. Horrible. Even The Player's Club Staff mentioned that was beyond messed up.

    Your a trooper Boz, you jumped ahead of Pokergrinder and Stooly DeMango for 4th place. I have full faith in you to be in 3rd place in no time at all with your relentless zingers. To catch the 2nd place warrior is attainable with moderate difficulty. 1st place NO CHANCE, not even with your creativity !

    Not even with telling her that her dad told her if he had another $10 she would have been half black?

    The one where you had to earn 50 points to win an Umbrella was a shitty Promotion. 50 points is $250 coin in. Let that sink in....:/

    As opposed to running $250 through and getting nothing? You could sell the umbrella on EBay for extra cash too.

    Granted if you were actually at the casino it would be something for nothing if you were among the “lucky” 4%. But does $5 even buy a cup of coffee at this liberal shithole?

    Is the liberal shithole Lake Tahoe or Starbucks? Both seem pretty liberal and non shit-holey, in general.

    I meant Starbucks, hate that company for multiple reasons but they are definitely far left.

    As for Tahoe, the Nevada side isn’t too bad but walk out of Harrahs or Harvey’s and go 5 feet into South Lake Tahoe, California and it’s bad. People still wear masks outside and the pricing is pure CA.

    We booked a fishing boat for the two of us with a captain in Tahoe City in July. He was so libtardy that he wouldn't go out unless we both wore masks throughout the 5 hours. We refused, so we had to leave and he refused to refund us. I disputed it with AMEX and got everything back.

    If we had rented at Zephyr Cove there wouldn't have been any problem

    For Rob Singer the worst promotion ever was the one that said you needed 2 pennies to rub together...
    It is official. Redietz will never be on Dan Druff's podcast. "too much integrity"

    For the most part all casino marketing promotions are bad. Even the good ones for some APs are bad for the general populations. For all of them, the patrons are likely become addicts. How many people's lives lead to poverty and death caused just because someone played at a casino because of $5 FP?

    On the same note, how do so many casinos stick to $10,000 drawings as the limit usually? Even with the smallest 1000 machine casinos out there, they could easily afford to give out more money than this. If a casino had 2000 people in a 1000 machine casino, I just find it hard to believe the crowd doesn't easily justify a higher award amount. Maybe they would draw riots if the value was $25,000 IDK

    It's quite incredible how much your vocabulary and writing skills have improved since your first few dozen posts. Congrats Tuesday, does it have anything to do with your inauguration into the Brokeback Boys Club ?

    I'm high on the medical marijuana, it is helping more than I think. Here I thought I was talking like a retard before. Maybe I need to try smoking some meth so they can really improve.
