While you never accepted my offer to visit five casinos you claim have live tables or ETGs that are not on our verified list, one of your group’s new videos includes six slots-only casinos in our data (Bighorn, Longhorn, Molly’s, Railroad Pass, Wildfire Sunset, and at least one Dotty's). Another video shows a contestant inserting cash into a bartop slot machine (screenshot below), which demolishes any claim that slots were not played.

It is time to admit they played slots. Should the 2017 record holders lose their title because Casino Dot Org padded totals with slots that everyone agreed going in don’t qualify?

Sixteen days later, Guinness has not announced this in a PR, AFAIK, and still lists the 2017 team as the current record holders on its website. That seems like a tell.

The last part is the most interesting.

Guinness has apparently divorced themselves from this. They won't disavow this "record" they certified at the time it occurred, but they also don't seem to be replacing the old 2017 record on their site, nor have they made their usual PR announcement about a new record being set. Instead, they seem to have gone quiet in the 2 weeks since, as they're clearly aware of the controversy and likely want to avoid further embarrassment.

If they publicly disavow the record, they look stupid for certifying it in the first place.

If they post the new record on their website and/or make a PR announcement, people will find the controversy, and it will make them look bad (and shady!)

So it seems like they're taking the "ignore it and the matter will go away" route.

If that's the way things stand, this will be a win. Why?


1) The 2017 record will rightfully stand.

2) casino.org's shady attempt to push this onto the community backfired spectacularly, and they ended up looking like clowns.

3) Those two asshole reality stars won't end up holding this gambling record -- which they shouldn't, because it's invalid, and they are community outsiders who tried to pull shenanigans to take it.
