I'm sure 50K jackpots are rare enough in Harrah's NO that publicity photos are taken and plastered on the wall somewhere. Maybe someone can find Rob's smiling face and verify the jackpot. But Rob never mentions this stuff. You know, most casinos take photos of their big winners -- I guess Rob may be publicity shy. I don't blame him. Between the jackpots and his rep, he probably has groupies.
Wrong redietz, Rob doesn't mention this stuff because one would think that anyone who plays vp or slots knows that when sizeable jackpots are hit in most larger casinos (and all jackpots in most smaller ones) they ASK you for permission to take a photo. That's a touristy thing, and I'm no tourist. I've explained the $50k and above protocol I've experienced, but it's apparently not everywhere because they didn't follow it in Tunica. It appears to be only when the big notification pops up saying "verification required" and the only other time I've seen that was when I hit a $100,000 royal at Bellagio.

Finally, for those who can't get over being sore that I hit these things, close your eyes, think about something else for a while, and that awful feeling will pass. Of course, I tingle over the thought of it all, but I might hit something else in the future that will land that pit right back into your stomachs, andyou all have my permission to keep on trying to create reasons why these just can't be
