In February, 2000, I had been at North Shore Lake Tahoe for four months. It was much longer than I usually stayed. My trips there were normally for 4 to six weeks. I was vulturing a lot of games, stand alone flush attack, jackpot cards, Visions, Williams Games, Silicon games, etc. Most of the money I was making was coming out of Harrah's.

One day I walked into Harrah's and started my normal sweep of the flush attacks. A security guard tapped me on the shoulder and said I wasn't allowed to play machines anymore but i was welcome to play anything else. I objected in a nice way to what he told me so he said he was just following instructions from surveillance. He called surveillance and a suit security came down and told me the same thing.

I should have kept my trip to the 4 to six weeks. I wore out my welcome. Whether or not it was legal for them to restrict me from machines is irrelevant. If I didn't follow their instructions I would have lost the place altogether.
