bingo in southern nevada returns far better than bingo in most other
jurisdictions, or than charity bingo of any sort. the amount you can
lose is limited to your buyin (typically $10-$50), unlike in video
poker. that said, in terms of percentage return, it's usually far
worse than VP.

yep. if the machine sings, call bingo. that's it.

> Is this any fun?

playing with the machines does mean you have more cards in action at a
time, and are constantly aware of what numbers you need, as the
machines track it for you.

as for "fun"?

some people find bingo to be "fun", either with paper or machines.
some people play keno for "fun".
some people sniff glue for "fun".

i don't find any of these activities to be "fun", but "fun" is a
matter of opinion.

cheers,

the company listing your book at $178 sold over 5000 books on amazon
in the last year. i doubt they've even glanced at it, let alone read
it and become offended at your views on gambling.

amazon marketplace sellers rely on competitive price listings to
decide how to price their items. your book has no competitive price
listings, because you don't distribute it anywhere that they can find
it. so, they pick a big number out of the air and see if anyone bites,
and gradually lower it over time when no one does. it's effectively a
reverse auction. it doesn't harm anyone.

you'll see the same pattern of fluke huge sale prices on amazon with
many obscure titles with only one or two sellers.

My glass is full, because it has to be full. What would the alternative be to losing our freedom and this wonderful country? The alternative is unthinkable, so my glass HAS to be full and I have to be optimistic. But I'm not stupid, Jigger. I know history, and what I see happening today is quite alarming. If you are not alarmed, then for whatever reason, whether it be youth, plain generic ignorance, or whatever, then you just don't know. What is it that makes you so "fairly certain we'll be alright"? A hunch? A gut feeling? rotflmao! It's a privilege to be in a country where you can afford to be blissfully ignorant of the past. Lucky you!

If old means terminally pessimistic then I'll wear my hat sideways. You expect me to believe that this period of our country is more trying to the citizens than the 1930's and then the 1940's? In spite of what of might watch on FAUX News, I'm fairly certain we'll be alright. Then again, my glass is half full. Sounds like you don't even have a glass.

I like the advice I read from one of the poker guys, I forget who it was, but he said, "Trust everyone, but always cut the deck."

I've seen "Flush Fever" at Indian casinos, manufactured by ISDgaming. ISDgaming is a smaller company out of somewhere back east, I think maybe South Carolina. They make both Class II and Class III games, specifically for the Indian casinos. In fact, I think there is a working version of this game on their website.

Here is my question for the gaming guy on tommorow's sho-

"How many times do you physically go into VP machines in Las Vegas every year and make sure they're not gaffed".
Yes, I am paranoid and yes I remember the LATE Larry Volk.
My daddy always taught me "where there is money there is cheating".
