I also play for my Mother occasionally due to her arthritis. In addition to that, in the last two months I had given 1 hour video poker lessons to our neighbor and her son (a total of four lessons each). In those lessons, I pushed the buttons while explaining the holds. Their slot cards were in the machines. I also coached the neighbors at our favorite game, Craps.
> Yes, there is more to the story. During those months, we were all earning entries to drawings, and we were all called in those drawings 2-4 times each out of about 100 total pulls. It was not disproportionate, but the neighbor's son and my Mom each happened to win a grand prize.
IF it was your money, and IF the drawing rules only allow a person to win once in each drawing, then to play on 5 cards to be able to win 5 times per drawing is a clear violation in my opinion. Even if most of the entries earned on the other cards were with their own money on their own play with you nowhere in sight, your playing on their cards frequently enough to be noticed probably made it look to security that you were trying to abuse the drawing.
If you were actually abusing the drawing in this way, I certainly feel no sympathy for you. People who play on multiple accounts to win more in drawings than allowed in the rules aren't screwing the casino. They are screwing the other players who would have won those other prizes. If people were cheating in a drawing but happened to be 100-year-old amputees in wheelchairs, should their cheating be overlooked or should they be 86'd? I vote for trespassing.
If you weren't cheating the drawing, then it's unfortunate that you put yourself in situations that made it look like you were. But I would chalk that up to poor judgment on your part, not the casino's.
