Well if the board is, in fact, ready to shut down I just want you to know Rob that I never believed your story about the Game King glitch from your point of view. For the simple fact that I find it incomprehensible that large jackpots would not be properly replayed and re-reviewed thoroughly before any payout was made. It is just not logical from a casino business "trust no one" perspective.
I wonder....if with your vast amount of experience, you cannot comprehend jackpots being paid out without being thoroughly reviewed and then re-reviewed--even when it's only one time per casino as in how I operated--then how exactly was it that Kane & Nestor sat for weeks at machines, constantly not only working this play, but using the same winning hands over and over and over again....not getting caught until at least half a million dollars were in their pockets? Wynn got hit for a quarter million in a day or two. Are you saying their surveillance and "verification" people were asleep at the wheel like every place but the Silverton was?

Here's what really happens so you don't exit too confused. Nobody watches your play unless there's a reason to, and after hitting a single jackpot there's no particular reason to suspect anything. But in the case of Kane/Nestor, it sure seems like even what THEY did failed to arouse enough suspicion to watch them....until Silverton of course.

My question about all this has more to do with the sequence of events the night Kane got "caught". (I put "caught" in parentheses because the articles really don't identify that Silverton knew what he actually was doing--only that he was "winning too many jackpots"--which is stupid if they believed he was playing $10 TDBP triple-play, and that it appeared he used the same winner twice somehow). Why did IGT need some super duper engineer to spend a month in trial & error trying to duplicate Kane's procedure if it were all right there on surveillance video recordings? Is THIS the type of ultra-careful reviewing you're talking about?

But I'm like you--I err on the side of caution. That's why I NEVER purposely hit more than a single jackpot in any single casino visit. But it's also why I firmly believe it's what kept my play undetected for the better part of 5-1/2 years.
