Another thing is that you could be playing these must hits or any machine and...
You get the tap on the shoulder or you see a manager and some security heading your way.
Of course they tell you to cash out and tell you that you are not allowed to play anymore in the Casino.
Or... they tell you you are barred from certain type of play but if you want to play baccarat... no problem.
However they are removing you from the club... you know the players card club.
I get what you are saying though... I was just mentioning that this is part of the lifestyle, hustle or job.
It can all come crashing down at any moment.
I am sure you understand that and I kinda learned that 20 some odd years ago.
Another story is Jerry's Nugget.
They had this play years ago.
Full Pay Dollar Video Poker with Double Royals.
Of course players were crushing it.
Management didn't like it and the guy in charge came over and told everyone they are barred from the property and they are shutting down the machines/promotion.
Basically the same thing happened back when the Orleans had a bunch of 50 cent loose deuce machines and other playable games.
They went so far to not only throw players out but they confiscated all their points and it was a pain to get them back from my understanding.
This is one reason why I always stress to cash out or use your points asap... don't be the guy with a million points lol.
I have seen a few players like that.
They sit down and you see their total points over a million lol.
They did that at club fortune too but they had to give everyone their points so they limited the free play to 25 dollars a day lol.
If you wanted all that free play you had to go and take it off every day for months.
The Golden Nugget had this point glitch a few of us were hammering.
So of course one of the guys who is a big machine player in Vegas gets asked to get off the machine.
He is stuck something serious.
So he doesn't want to get off the machine.
lol... he gets in all sorts of trouble and problems ensue because you know all of a sudden he is told to stop playing a certain machine.
10 to 12 years ago the Golden Nugget moved this progressive quarter deuce machine.
When they turned the machines back on the payouts were upside down.
The game used to be a loser but when they reset it the game was 105%+ Payback.
It lasted for 3 weeks.
I was playing it when I heard the manager tell another manager that the game was a 5% winner and needed to be fixed.
I left soon after that and the next day it was fixed.
Not a bad 3 weeks though playing quarters netting close to 10 grand.
Sorry to derail your thread.
I was just thinking that a Casino, Machine or Promotion shutting down is part of the gamble.
LIFE... Don't talk to me about LIFE
