LV tourism is down - dealers being laid off

[mickeycrimm]

I collect stats on games to zero in on playable numbers. Once i have that i quit tracking. After awhile i forget why i’m playing that number. One of the reason i like the ap slots over video poker is once i know the playable numbers i dont have to remember much else like what cards to hold.

So no doesn't change anything, but it helps me.

Right, and keeping track of everything is a good thing and should definitely be encouraged, especially to new players.

But when you said, "Then you are a lot closer to just gambling than advantage." <<< I just didn't believe that to be accurate. I don't think one would be closer or further away.

If I started playing a small percentage advantage on a game like 10-7 double bonus for some reason, I would have to go over some of the finer points before I felt I was playing 100% accurate. I just can't imagine a situation that would compel me to go engage in a play with a small percentage on video poker.

Are your entry points so high that it doesn't matter if they change the percentage on the games you're playing?

I pointed out the contradictions in his story, more than once long ago:
Part of where the UNKewl one keeps tripping himself up is in contradictions. He talks about how he barely wins $50. average in a session. At other times talks about how he buys in for so little chips - in the region of $150. - $250. - that he draws no attention to himself. Then he talks about how he declined to start another session because he was $3000. short of the "mandatory" $7000. he needs to play. Very contradictory.

I also pointed out that his entire fictionalized blackjack story fit too neatly into a "I won exactly what was expected" - someone else, I believe it was AccountInQuestion, mentioned that someone playing like that, unrated, no consistent play, couldn't even know exactly what his handle (amount passed over the circle) was, to begin to figure out what was "expected" over a period of many years.

UNKewlJ has also consistently contradicted himself – unable to keep to the same story. One day he’s never ever played rated, next day he talks about all the comps he racked up at table games. Not too different from how she

can't even keep track of how many years she supposedly went to college, or the day of the week where she received her ACH settlement? (Or how long it might take to re-program a shuffling machine.)

Forty-one UNKewl lies, and counting.

Tater/Moses once described it as a nervous poodle barking at a glass of water.

Seeing Dawg's post because it was quoted, I and anyone else, should be asking themselves, why a guy, who claims to have life by the balls, claims to be ultra wealthy, claims to be a powerful attorney, claims to be a successful gambler, winning millions a year from casinos, worry about what anyone, AP's or anyone else on a internet forum thinks? Why would they get SO bent out of shape and do all this trolling when some real players (who know how things work) don't believe them?

The answer is they wouldn't.

[coach belly]

The answer is they wouldn't

He would if he enjoys flogging you...that's not hard to understand...you deserve it.

His insults don't take much time to post, but they resonate with you and occupy all of your time.

And that's enjoyable for the readers...and the readers are the "they" that you're worried about.

[MDawg]

You may positively feel the nervous insecurity of someone who feels the need to repeat over and over that she’s no longer reading so and so’s posts.

Yes she's a basket case.

To recap again: Regardless of his need to constantly claim over and over again that he has his "trolls" on "ignore" ....KEW READS EVERY WORD BY EVERY POSTER POSTED EVERY DAY OF EVERY YEAR. His extraordinarily weak constitution along with his extreme necrosis of not being "accepted as he needs to be" or "as relevant as he JUST HAS TO BE" absolutely COMPELS the lying little twit to do so. And it is 100% in his nature to continually torment himself by reading all the truths others hit him with.

Oh....and I LOVE IT!!!

Guys, please remember to keep it polite with the normals. They're the ones who keep the industry vibrant.

Today as I was walking in from the car, a LOL was having a rough time navigating the 6 or 8 steps up to the entrance. Looking ahead, I didn't see any handicap button for her to open the doors.

Thinking quickly, I diverted to an alternate set of entrance doors at the far end -- sparing the woman any sight of me rudely ignoring her plight.

I actually doubt that dealers are being laid off at the (successful) Majors on the Strip.

And if there is a decline in gaming revenue it could have to do with that higher levels of play are being demanded of players to get a fully comp'ed ride, because many of the resorts are catering so hard to non-gaming visitors, such as convention traffic. For example, we used to be allowed to stay at one of the Majors for up to 21 days before we had to leave so as not to be considered a "resident" (and subject to tenants rights). That same Major now is stating that due to the priority being given to corporations who are booking up sometimes all of their suites and most of the rooms for conventions, that 9 days is the new max.

Another Major still allows us to stay as long as we want, and creates a legal fiction of having "moved" to another room and hence commenced a new stay, by checking us out and back in every 21 days. Another still doesn't care and (seemingly) lets us stay as long as we want.

We don't always stay in house at the resorts when in Vegas, but when we do, would like the option of staying for as long as we like.

That they are not letting someone like me stay as long as he wants, shows that the priority is no longer gaming. Sure someone could argue, "Well he wins, why would they want him to stay," but asking me to leave doesn't affect my play I just come back and play without staying in house.

And they have been treating some of my heavy hitting friends who rarely win, the same way - seemingly prioritizing paying corporate guests over casino players.

This makes zero sense. ....

It’’s classic Malsow’s hierarchy of needs from lowest to highest

Physiological Needs - Air, water, food, shelter

Safety Needs - Personal security, health, money

Love & Belonging - Family, friends, romance

Esteem - Confidence, respect from others, self respect.

Self Actualization - Creativity, morals, meaning, happiness

Internet Trolling - The highest level a human can obtain. An internet connection & unlimited time to troll others online.

If kew wasn't implicitly bothered by what mdawg and I say about his failed life as a liar, he would never again have the incessant and uncontrollable need to keep claiming he "only sees comments because they were quoted"--and always with the burning need to issue more weakass denials.

A truly happy and successful person would simply just look past the feelings of embarrassing inadequacies, and instead focus on all the great things currently going on in their life.

He gets so unnerved over the truths we unleash that it continuously forces him into his rages of denial! It's like we keep getting new sessions at the woodshed with him every time we think he's had enough punishment.

Can it ever get any better than this!?

The CZR properties are the worst RTP. I play them tighter than normal. But I’m diamond with them, just can’t make much money in their properties. Their value, along with PENNplay, is comped rooms with no resort fee’s all over the country, about 90 casinos.

In places I’m getting RFB/freeplay I throw breakeven plays into the mix to get in more wager.
