Since I don't subscribe to the digest anymore, waited till I got home
before I saw the messages. The following is for clarification or my viewpoint.
1. There is no $500 bonus as far as I know. But I played even though I
was pretty sure there wasn't one.

"I don't like the idea of calling security because you fell for the oldest
trick
in the book. This guy didn't do anything wrong. It's not a scam I would
pull
because I don't have any charisma but I don't have any moral issues with
it."

Everybody has their own set of values. Even the hustlers. Years ago, my son
was chased off a banking slot by a man yelling at him. Surprisingly,
nearby hustlers urged us to call Security & report him because what he did was
bad for the long-term health of the play.
I wasn't upset by being the "mark" because I did keep him occupied for 2
hours & I accomplished my "points" goal at the Palms. Losing a few hundred
didn't motivate me to do anything. What motivated me was what I read on the
Internet.

"yes, you did the right thing notifying security. New facial recognition
systems, can ID any scammer or 86d player within 30 seconds. I was with a
scammer friend of mine at the D, and within 30 seconds on entering 2
security guards came over and pointed to the door. They left me alone when
I
pulled a Judas and said "Im not with him ".

I hope you're right. I gave Security all the details so they could look up
them up on the video. Not to get ethnic but the original approach was by a
white guy with a New York accent and the clean up guys were two
innocent-looking blacks. I was slow on the uptake but I kept him occupied for 2 hrs
because his clean-up guys took so long to get there & I got a little revenge
by taking out all the high-denomination multipliers on one machine before I
would leave but they got the other machine. I really like the guy so that
was part of the reason I got taken. Have to admit I still do but I'll
report him anyway!
Years ago when Bellagio had banking slots, hustlers would aggressively
hover over you while you ran out of money. A Chinese couple was very aggressive
one time. So I played the game of pulling out progressively smaller bills
until I used them up then I had to pull out hundreds. Kept them hovering
for over an hour & if looks could kill.....

"---Exactly!! I've heard about the scam numerous times and been approached.
My same question was why would anyone leave big multipliers on the screen
for the next hand for someone else to play?? Unless you just didn't
understand the game at all and got duped. but really?? I know Glenn is a
smart player. Just seemed odd to me.

Thanks for your faith, Scot. The line was you had to switch every few hands
& play every game on the screen in order to turn on the $500 bonus & if
it didn't come on, cash out & it carries over to the next machine (yeah, I
was reeeaaally stupid). I didn't have any drinks but I was intrigued and
then there's greed :)

"Thanks for your honest reply on this forum and good luck with your
criminal
career."

LOL
6. What you post on any forum is a reflection of yourself. From the posts
you find like-minded people and those who you wouldn't trust your pet cobra
with. I left another forum years ago due to "moral" discussions which
resulted in strong disagreement and a lot of noise. I don't want that to happen
here even though I don't subscribe I like to contribute when I think it's
useful.
Since I started this thread, can I ask everyone to agree to disagree on
morals and get back to objective statements?
Thank you
