God doesn't play video poker. After actually inventing probability, the rest of the game just seemed a little boring.

[vpFREE] Re: 50% loss rebate in Pennsylvania casino--"Excludes poker"

 

Well, well, well, Video Poker is out! The promotion has changed once again.

"New Player's Club Members, it's time to get paid! Play during the month of September and receive 50% of your losses back up to $50,000!

You must have at least 5 hours of rated play and at least $500 of rated slot loss. Your reimbursement offer will be sent in the following month and valid through 10 offers over a 5 week period.

For New Player's Club members that sign up in the month of September. Excludes Video Poker & Table Poker Players"

Personally, though, I am most likely to come into a casino if the pay tables are great and the promotions are good to the point of having an advantage or something close to it. Apparently they want nothing to do with APs or aspiring APs who would be willing to risk a decent-sized bankroll to play

Does the Creator spend much time thinking about casinos? I never heard that one discussed in Sunday School.


Einstein was convinced that God doesn't play dice. Is it your take that He plays video poker? If he doesn't, and you are trying to ask what the Creator would do, why are you playing video poker in the first place?

There may not be a dot-to-dot connection between every "good deed" and every jackpot, but Brad and I have found that there is a definite positive "upward trend" between kindness and success in life. I don't mean financial success – that's just a very small part of the totality of one's life. A much bigger part is happiness in many areas – your relationships, your circle of friends, your feelings of being needed and loved, your family, your reputation.



Rod, don't let anyone poo-hoo your karma. I'm sure your kind deed will uptick the general happiness in your life long after you have forgotten this jackpot and even gone through many losing spells!!!!! Being nice has a long shelf-life!

RE: [vpFREE] Re: no good deed goes unpunished

 

Congratulations on your success.

And thank you for doing the right thing with somebody else's ticket. It was also the smart thing to do. At South Point they have excellent cameras and had you taken the ticket, they could have after-the-fact used the cameras to follow you to your car in order to ID you. I've had a tour of their security room and watched them do this. (We watched a random customer from the day before and didn't take not of their license number --- but it illustrated what could have been done had that person been suspected of something.)

Don't make too big a deal of connecting the dots between being a Good Samaritan and hitting a jackpot. There will be other times where you are nice to somebody and then you lose your butt --- and there will be times where you are a jerk and then hit a royal flush.

Humans are good at believing things are linked just because one came before the other. Usually things aren't linked. Even if you believe in Karma --- it's impossible to accurately ascribe a particular jackpot to a particular good deed. You can do seventeen good deeds (however you define a "good deed") in a day and "only" hit 4 jackpots. Does that mean that Karma owes you 13 more?

Bob

[vpFREE] no good deed goes unpunished

 

Not in this case! Just returned from lv. Spent most of my time at South Point. I walked by a vp machine and heard that noise to remind you to take your ticket. I took the ticket (45.00) and waited around for a few minutes for the owner to return. A young lady was looking around like she had lost something. I said to her did you lose a ticket? She fumbled her words and said she did, I said no you did not. I then proceeded to find an attendant. She followed me back to where I found the ticket and two people were frantic that they had lost their ticket. They were so thankful for my honesty, my pleasure. Well I sat on the machine in back of the theirs and holy holy holy, I hit a royal flush in hearts for $2.000.00! I was paid off by the attendant that I brought the ticket to...Rod
