Also, apparently, so does Bozo's Law, which states that if Hitler
and/or Nazi Germany is mentioned, even parenthetically, in the course
of a discussion, some clown who wants to appear sophisticated and be
snarky at the same time is certain to mention "Godwin's Law".

[vpFREE] Re: What's A Tip and What's A Bribe???

Well, gee, if a "cash gratuity" induces the recipient to give the
guest something to which, according to the rules of the establishment,
he is not entitled to, I would say that constitutes a bribe.

If, on the other hand, the level and quality of service received would
have been the same regardless of the "cash gratuity", then that
constitutes a tip.

I personally have problems with inducing an employee to defraud his or
her employer, but I seem to be the only person on the planet who feels
any scruples in that regard.

[vpFREE] Re: youtube video of Vegas woman who hit a million dollar progressive

Hahahahahahahahahaha. First player in the drama: the woman who, it is
obvious from listening to her talk, is not the brightest bulb in the
chandelier (not to mention, she plays bingo and lousy penny VP).
Second player: a sleazebucket lawyer who obviously realizes that her
claim is bogus, but is hanging around in the hopes of extorting some
smaller settlement from the Fiesta, and grabbing 1/3 (or maybe 1/2) of
it, with the extremely distant possibility of grabbing a chunk of the
whole million. Third player: the Gaming Control Board, which hasn't
ruled in favor of the player ONCE in situations like this.

Anybody who puts $1 (100 pennies) in a VP machine, expecting to get
paid a million bucks if they hit a royal, must either be very stupid,
or must be from another planet. This woman says she just wants
her "rights'. RIGHT.

Immortalized on YouBoob, where more bandwidth is devoted to
stupidities than ever before in the history of the human race! Ain't
technology grand??

[vpFREE] Re: Playing for the Pleasure of Winning

By your own admission, you play several hundred hours/year. So what's
the difference, really, if you are ahead or behind at the end of a
given day/session? Does it really matter one way or the other?

The division of time is arbitrary. If you WILL play again some time in
the future, then it doesn't really matter whether that next hand you
play is three days, three months, or three seconds from now, does it?

It's all one long session, and then you die.

[vpFREE] Re: Jackpot - Comp - No Thanks

In general, these days, "discretionary comps" are a thing of the past.
They consider your earned slot club points to be your comp source,
period. The only exception to this might be if you got totally blasted
and didn't earn enough points in the process to get anything worth
while---THEN the host, MAYBE, might comp you to a meal or two. Maybe.

The above doesn't apply if you're one of those worthless scumbags that
only plays decent VP machines. Then, you will NEVER get ANY
discretionary comps, and will (at most places) earn slot club points
at the rate of about three cents worth of comps for every $1 trillion
coin-in.

The only comp value nowadays is in bounceback coupons, and the
occasional decent promo. It's become a tough ol' world out there.

No. The difference in payouts for the straight flush means that you
will be less aggressive in going for SF's. For instance, 86 suited,
deuce, xx you would draw to the one-gap 3SF when the SF pays 10, but
not when it pays 8. You need to plug the paytables into a VP program,
and note the differences.

I think by now it's previous clear that the information is a little
thin. When I stopped at Sam's today the boothlings could not answer
these kinds of questions either. They indicated that some updates
were happening tonight and all would be good tomorrow ... or was that
next year ...

LV casinos. My wife and I are also very concerned about it. I have
heart issues and my wife is allergic to smoke. We are able to avoid

by 10 or 11 in the morning we have already had 5 or so hours to

problem might be solved, Think of the money the casinos would save in
so many ways. A smoking ban could also be legislated I would think.
In places where it is banned it has shown not to reduce casino
revenues. At the River Rock Casino in Canada the crowd was so big it
was hard to find a place to play (table games or slots). How smoking
remains so popular in light of the lethal consequences is amazing.

The City of Helena, Montana passed a total smoking ban for all
buildings accessible by the public. No exemptions were made for
bars/casinos.

Video poker and video keno are legal in Montana with an $800 maximum
jackpot. In order to have a casino license in Montana one must have
a liquor license. One license is good for up to 20 machines. Helena
has about twenty of these bars/casinos.

The impact was felt immediately. Owners cryed foul. With many
headed toward insolvency they filed suit for the devaluation in
business equity and real estate.

Six months into the ban they had lost millions in liquor sales and
gamiing revenue.

The law was found unconstitutional for another reason--it didn't
provide a jury trial for anyone violating the ordinance. Smoking
went back in and everyone was happy again--except anti-smoking
proponents and anti-gamblers.

The Montana legislature, using the Helena smoking ban to project loss
of gaming tax revenue if all the major towns went non-smoking, passed
a bill exempting gaming establishments from any and all smoking
bans.

[vpFREE] Re: smoking

Well, I stand corrected--and educated. With relatives in Colorado,
we manage to visit Cripple Creek and/or Blackhawk a couple of times a
year. I had no idea there were other casinos in Colorado. They must
be near Durango and do no advertising whatsoever. I plan to look
them up just to see what gives although I doubt they have much to
entice. Thanks for the information Mr. Crimm--you are the bomb!
Love your stories.

After Barrick bought out Jackie Gaughan they were making unsolicited
offers to Joe for the Atomic. I asked Joe if he was gonna
sell. "You, never know," he said. "You know, no one has ever lost
money on this corner." To which I said "Joe, no one else has ever
been on this corner."

The last time at the Atomic Stella told me Joe was down with a bad
leg and hadn't been to the bar in two months. That's not good for a
man his age.

Joe runs a clean ship but the trouble with the cops was started by
the longtime and trusted graveyard bartender who eventually succumbed
to temptation. He abruptly "retired." Metro got the bar across the
street at the Ambassador East closed forever. And I think Jackie
still owned it when that happened.

Believe it or not, Joe and Stella are very religious and give heavily
to the Catholic Church. Joe didn't tell me himself but others have
told me they plan on leaving the bar to the Catholic Church. They
are childless.

I don't recall any scenes from the movie "Casino" being filmed in the
Atomic. And I think I would have recognized it if I seen it. There
could have been some filming outside. Dennis wouldn't know because
he is very new at the Atomic. They did alot of filming downtowm
though. When DeNiro comes walking out of a casino at the beginning
of the film and the car blows up is easily recognizable as Main
Street Station. MSS was shuttered at the time. I recognized one of
the restaurant scenes as Center Stage at the Plaza. When DeNiro
finds his wife and her pimp boyfriend at a restaurant and the pimp
gets beat up in a car outback, that was a little Mexican restaurant
on North Main with a fleabag hotel behind it. I believe the scene at
the end of the movie where the ex-wife staggers down a hallway and
falls dead of an overdose was the Little Hotel on South Main--now a
homeless shelter. The scenes inside "The Tangiers" were filmed at
the Riviera.

And by when does the $125,000 have to be played? My card expires on
July 31. If I play $120,000 from May 15 through July 31, will I go
down to the Sapphire level, assuming I didn't play from May 1 through
14, but if I then play $5000 on August 1, will I then go back up to
Emerald level? How long will it then last?
