Im still a low roller, but I will probably apply for my first credit line early next year, but still use casino ATM's if I haven't been able to stop at a bank ATM first, or need to reload.

of course:

Capitol One refunds all fees up to $15 a month, and I own a few shares of Global Cash Access that has a huge marker share of the ATMs in the casinos

It looks like the correct column is posted now because I don't remember this before.

My question is how do you know the hold of the slot machine you were playing? Is it a reel slot where you calculated the hold or did someone at the South Point let you know?

Re: [vpFREE] Re: I'm running so bad, I lose to an ATM

 

I've understood casino ATM fees are usually higher than out on the street--which is a good reason to ignore them for sure--but my reason for not using them is the same reason I don't ask for or use casino credit or cash checks even when I used to use them: those are all effective casino tools utilized to separate players from as much of their money as possible, and usually beyond a player's budget.

I know many people feel that carrying a lot of cash to a casino makes them uncomfortable, but really, no one knows what you're carrying and even as a known personality I never had an issue, valet parking is a super-safe way out with any amount of cash, and casinos overall are some of the safest entertainment venues we have.

Brad has had at least 2 sequentials (although they weren't dealt). One we remember well because it was pretty sad at the time. Brad should have been paid double for it because we had a coupon for that but I had neglected to give him the coupon to take to Silverton that day. I forget whether it was on a $1 or $2 machine so I forget whether it was a 4k or 8K forget. I guess getting old and having a not-so-good memory has its pluses. When I just talked to Brad about this thread, he had to think hard to even remember the incident!!

[vpFREE] Points for Gas at M - corrected info

 

From a friend, on October 12:

]"I used my points to buy gas today [at M]....333 points for $1.00 as usual. Regular gas was $3.89/gallon, which is a dime more than most stations in town, also as usual. They said at the station that I can still pay for the car wash and shop in the store with points."

[vpFREE] Margaritaville Biloxi - Do They Really NOT Want Customers?

 

So - I finally receive some free play offers in the mail from this place based on my one lone visit from several months ago when I gave them a few hours of low stakes VP action just to see what - if any - offers the play might generate. I guess it only took them about 6 months to realize that being possibly the only casino in the country without any free play or bounce back might not be the best way to attract repeat customers. (Naturally, the mailer arrived too late for the first listed redemption period, but I was willing to chalk this up to "first mailer jitters".)

Anyway, I was planning to run the play through on a quarter JOB game, but all the video poker games had a sign stuck to them that said "Points, comps, and free play cannot be *EARNED* or redeemed on this machine" (emphasis mine). From what I could see, this sticker was on every single VP machine, even the really bad ones. Wow, that's a new one for me! I know of several places where free play has to be run through on slots only (not VP), but this is the first place I have seen that says you can't even earn points or comps for playing VP. Why even have a card reader in these machines? Essentially, they are telling VP players "You'll get nothing, and LIKE it". And it's not as though they have FPDW or anything like that.

I ran my free play and left. This was on a Saturday night around 10:30 PM, and while it would be exaggerating to say that literally no one was there, no one was there! Unfortunately, this casino has absolutely nothing to draw in tourists (tourists can't even find the place), and nothing to draw in locals either. I feel sorry for anyone who left their job at one of the other local casinos to go work here, because I'm afraid they'll be looking for their old job back soon when this place closes.

Management of this casino has made so many what I would consider obvious mistakes, I wonder if it's a situation like in "The Producers", where they are intentionally trying to fail?

Wasn't this a column from a month or so ago? I do know that at my age I am suffering from CRS, but I'm pretty sure I read this before.

I never use ATM in casino either...too expensive!
However, in Reno now, it seems like the marker process is cut down from 30 days to 7 days!
Used to, I'd take it out and use it to put my session in, then at the end of the month, once all my cashback had came in, I'd use THAT to pay the marker back and repeat process...but now, they want their money within the WEEK...
