You did an excellent job of misunderstanding or misconstruing what I was saying.
Tuscany does a double jackpot promotion, is surprised by the action
and calls it off after less than two hours.
Ellis Island does a double royal promotion, is surprised by the action
and starts barring people after less than two hours.
Suncoast does 10X points, is surprised by the action and starts
barring people after less than two hours.
Now, if I were in charge of a casino I would certainly want to keep
APs from thinking it was worth it to play there. I might even 'bar'
some, but I would do it politely. Like the Silverton, who sent me a
nice polite letter saying I was no longer eligible for mailer,
multipliers, promos, drawings etc.
But that's not what we're talking about. If I'm in charge of a casino
and one of my managers creates a situation where their solution is to
cut a promo short or bar (or trespass!) people for nor more than
showing up to whey when they were invited to do so, then I would fire
that imbecile because he doesn't understand gambling and he's too
stupid to continue to work for me.
Controlling APs' ability to make money from you is understandable.
Reacting to these situations by barring and trespassing people is
ham-handed and reactionary.
But it's the part where they're surprised by what happens that makes
them idiots. Gambling is their core business, and they show by their
actions (both the ones related here and others that were not) that
they don't know as much about it as they should. That, and the way
they handle their mistakes, is why I consider them stupid fucktards.
If I ran the casino, it would be in the casino's best interest not to
have these reactionary mouth breathers working there.
