While this may be true, recent barrings have been on $2 and $5 9/6 BPD which are plentiful and not progressives at all. These barrings have nothing to do with keeping other local players happy

It was I who wrote this story.   It happened to me.  I

It was I who wrote that incident.  I do not believe in hocus/pocus.  I did not say that I hit that royal because I was honest.  The slot host whom I asked for assistance to find the owner, when she paid me off said that it came back to me because of my honesty.  Sure I felt very good over the situation, but I know that it was an occurrence, albeit a timely one.  I just thought it was an amusing incident.  Thank you, Rod.....

If you're asking about purging of vp players at the other three Coast casinos, I've only heard of a few at each one and not many recently.

If you're asking about all Las Vegas casinos, I'd say that most have instituted some sort of restrictions against players they perceive as a threat, everything from temporary no mail to 86'ing (Suncoast, Ellis, Jerry's Nugget, maybe more).

Yes, I have the book, but haven't looked at it since I first bought it.  I did get an off-list email with a further question on this matter, and recommended your book to that person.

<<Although I don't know which ones are included, I know that Indiana is not the only state with a gross income tax that does not allow losses to be deducted from winnings; those states are all "net losing" video poker states, and for that matter, this is true for almost any game where winning and losing sessions occur and you can't / don't win enough to cover not only the losses but also to cover the taxes.  I'm not an expert, but I think if you qualify as a professional gambler, this MAY improve the situation.>>  I

I cover all these questions in my book Tax Help for Gamblers.  The state tax chapter includes a state-by-state list.

 The Coast properties hate VP pros because several years ago jealous local regular customers complained to management they couldn't get on progressives or their favorite machines during promotions. These regular customers resented the fact that they lost money on machines while others seemingly won all the time. I sort of

relate to this to Adam and Eve. Adam was blissfully unaware until he ate the apple. Locals were one time in the dark. A couple of them ate the apple. They then became rabble rousers. The few became the many. The Coast properties responded in the way any sophisticated casino management. Make the locals happy again. Evict pros so the their daily losing players could get on the machines anytime they wanted.

Back on 10/10/10 I was told not to play on 10x point days there. There were several more 10x point days over the next few months but I stayed away.

About a year ago, I started to play $2 9/6 BPD on Thursday's (7x point days). The casino is nowhere close to where I live but is relatively close to the radio station. When I put my card in the kiosk at that time I was told the card wasn't working. I didn't go to the booth because I didn't wish to have a clear "stay away" message given to me. But Shirley's card worked fine and I could cash out the points as if they were my own.  Besides, I only would get W2Gs on royals and they don't happen very often.

Over the next several months, I hit three $2 royals on Shirley's card --- with probably $30K of coin-in over that time period. Clearly very lucky. On the third one, two shift managers paid me and told me to never play at Suncoast again --- on anybody's card. Nothing in writing. No trespass. But a clear message given and received.

The next month, I stopped receiving Coast mailers. (Shirley still got them, but since the divorce I stopped playing on it and so now that has gone to zero because of dis-use.) I previously played a lot at Gold Coast and a little at Sam's Town. I was told that to get reinstated I needed to clear things up with the head of security at Suncoast. So far I haven't bothered. Perhaps a classic example of "sour grapes," I decided that Gold Coast was too smoky anyway and so I didn't want to fight to get back in there.

Bob
