Subject: [vpFREE] Video Poker Classes at Sam's Town
(snipped)
We have also taken Bob Dancer's video poker classes on various occasions,
and have certainly enjoyed those, as well. Why is it, though, that wherever
he goes, the machines worth playing seem to "magically" disappear? Now he is
giving classes at ST, and sadly, one of the venerable old progressive plays
is gone. There were only 6 machines, only three were worthwhile, but still!
Sam's was making money, we loved the things, and what have they
accomplished? Sad, sad, sad. Is this a prelude to more awful things to
come? I hope not.
----------------------------------------------------------
Sad?? What is sad is your apparent inability to read. Although you did not
state specifically what progressive it was that you thought was missing,
which isn't surprising at all, I assume that you meant the one against the
bingo room entrance wall upstairs. This past Saturday, July 2nd, in post #
115650, deuceswild4 posted exactly the whereabouts of this re-located intact
bank. The same game configurations are on it, with three of the machines
having 9-6 JOB and the other two with DDB. I guess by now I should be used
to seeing internet garble postings that come from a no knowledge position,
but why is it that most of you folks will automatically anoint Bob Dancer as
the designated scrapegoat whenever any change is made in any casino? I'm
gonna go out on a limb here with my guess that the person whom you wrongly
accused of a downgrade, that did not even occur, also happens to be the
number one supplier of instructional tutelage to you and scores of others on
the very games that you all play. At the very least, I think that you owe
Mr. Dancer an apology that you could post right here on vpFREE, but I have
doubt that you will do it. By the way, if you still can't derive the
location of the bank in question after reading the pertinent post above, and
you are as directionally impaired as I suspect, try this: Enter Sam's at
the keno lounge/poker room doors. Take ten steps inside the building. The
keno lounge will be directly on your left. Turn your body to your right and
you will see the bank on the wall across the way with machines in a circular
type pattern between you and the bank. I will possibly see Bob tomorrow at
a drawing and if you like, I can request that after he teaches his next
class at Sam's on Tuesday, if he would be so kind as to go downstairs and
drop some corn kernels on the carpet between the doors and this bank.
Speaking of his class, I monitored most of the last one on 9-7 DB
progressives. I was curious as to how he was going to teach it to a cross
section of players from below novice to quite experienced. He did an
admirable job. Had you attended this class, you would have head him
announce to the class that the game was not available as a dollar
progressive choice at Sam's, but since they had a flat top 4,000 coin game
at the bars, this would be a perfect candidate for a change to progressives,
and that he would take it up with the management contacts that he has at
Sam's. I'm sure that his stance would be that since they already offer $
8-5 BP in progressive form, which has a higher return that 9-7 DB, why not
offer this one as well. Does this sound like a guy that is out to hurt the
player's community to you? How long will it be until one of our more
technical savvy members takes the picture that Bob uses in his writings,
books, and classes, and Photoshop's it and places it smack dab in the middle
of the grassy knoll and we finally get closure on who the real culprit was
back on that dark day in November of '63?
