[vpFREE] Silverton gets cheaper and cheaper

 

Silverton is doing a new pulltab promotion in June. As a regular player there, they sent me 4 extra pulltabs in the mail. They have the usual instuctions only to open in front of a boothling. The problem, they are so cheaply made that 3 of the four broke open in the mail. I wonder if they will fail to honor these. Another example of a dumb marketing move. They throw away the casino's money in a promotion that causes more ill will then if they had not done the promotion at all.

What's the highest quarter progressive now?
In dollar amounts please not percent.

[vpFREE] Resorts AC Gets Slapped With Lawsuit

 

Greetings

Breaking News........A discrimination suit has been filed citing age and appearance(?). The new owner have tried to create a new younger and sexier theme. So if you can not fit this image and uniform you loose your position. I saw the news spot and the women seemed traumatized. They fall into the Arnold paramour category speaking frankly.

Mr DG states they were offered other jobs and some excepted. However the affected ex-employees want their jobs back plus all the things they feel they are entitled........Stay Tuned

I'd love to see at least 1 place go non-smoking. But someone like me who plays quarter 99+% VP accurately isn't going to count against a single smoking million dollar whale and his entourage who demand they be allowed to light up at the baccarat table.
The bottom line is non-smokers like us WILL go to smoking casinos but smokers will NOT go to a non smoking casino.

[vpFREE] Re: Some AC Tidbits

 

>>Hedy and I have finally broken the dreaded VP backslide that is so
inevitable to all of us that partake in this craziness on a regular basis
as we
hit a 4K royal for the third week in a row at Harrah's AC this past
weekend.
<<

That is welcome news and congratulations to you both.

I've also had my own smaller recuperation by having aces dealt in the
Rampart 10-play (nickels) THREE times in May. I'm not yet feeling entitled
<ggg> but relieved for sure that the constant stream of visits to my safe have
reversed in nature for a while.

I applaud your concern for others well being, it is a trait we share. And I'm very very glad you now understand where the M got their numbers for the sign.

Just one person getting it makes all my time on vpFREE seem worth it.

Very Good luck to you.

[vpFREE] Re: rob singer

 

Apparently I missed some stuff during my 3 day vacation. No time to see who said what.

For the record: I have made no replies to Rob whatsoever. I was only replying to Judy in a thread started by Rob.

I'll be interviewing Rob in a few weeks, so I'll save any discussion with him for then.

I do not expect the interview to be anything but very entertaining and informative. Rob and I get along quite well, despite disagreeing on nearly everything. For me it's fun. Yes I'm crazy...it's been in all the papers.

Also, agreement with everything I say is not one of my requirements.

Cheers,

~FK
