Thanks for the clarification Bob. I remember the machine was pulled almost immediately though. I'm still a VIP there and was once one of their top tier players in the beginning.
My strategy was to play big there because they didn't have a player database. Those were the good days. I also used one of Bob's techniques and used my food and beverage comp to bring home six bottles of expensive champagne.

wrong in both cases. The JoB with the 450 sf was a dollar machine. Not interesting to me compared to other plays in town at that time. I was never kicked out from there. I was no-mailed after being dealt a $2 Ten Play royal ($80K) playing 9/6 JoB with the normal sf. The only casinos I've ever been 86'd from are Suncoast and Ellis Island --- and possibly Jerry's Nugget although I never received official notice. I'm hardly unique at being kicked out from those casinos.
Insofar as it being a desire of pros to burn out machines, that usually isn't my goal --- at least in Las Vegas. (If I were out of town and not planning to come back, that might be different.) My goal at SLS was to play as long as I could alertly because it was obvious (to me anyway) that the games couldn't survive. Might as well get while the getting was good. Staying there until the last minute and being the person shoved off the machine when it was closed down was never a goal --- it wasn't that good of a play.
