Good grief, Mr. Dancer! Petty fraud is still fraud. Petty thievery is still theft.

Thanks, BLavoie, but I turned the GPS off before I took the picture.

Mike, I haven't taken a W2-G since I left Nevada almost 8 years ago. Montana is a different situation than Nevada and other gambling jurisdictions. These little gambling businesses make their money off the people living in the town or community so there is nothing like room comp. They will comp your drinks while you are playing. And there are slot clubs where you get freeplay for your action. But I refuse to join them because they track your play. I don't want to be tracked and I don't want them to know my name.
Back in the eighties there was a crackdown on drunk driving in Montana. It caused about a 20% drop in bar business revenue. The Montana Tavern Owner's Association was all up in arms about it. So the legislature threw the bar owners a bone. They legalized video poker and video keno. Multi-game machines were legalized in 1999. And video line games came in in January 2012. Leading up to the video line games coming in I was highly concerned. I thought it might effect the games I was exploiting. But it turned out that it was actually a positive for me. There are now line games here that I exploit.
And yes, video keno is a grind. All the thinking in keno is done before you sit down. I play on turbo speed. where I'm cranking out 40 to 50 games per minute depending on the machine. A typical five-spot progressive, with a frequency of 1550.57 is about 35 minutes average seat time. There is nothing to think about while you are playing. On some of these machines I don't even have to move my finger. I just lay it on the screen sensor and the game keeps playing.
I keep plenty of reading material in kindle on my windows phone.And there is no heat here by casino employee's. They don't know anything. Even the owners don't know anything about their machines. They just know that they make them money.
While playing keno I'm currently reading Bound For Glory by Woodie Guthrie. Him and I have a lot in common. We're both old freight train riders.

Be careful Mick.
I'm no expert, but have been told that some images contain the GPS geocode, which can give away the location.

I'm not doubting you. Showing someone a golden needle is one thing, it's that giant haystack that is the problem. I'll be the first to admit I have had trouble finding stuff on VPFree2 and it is laid out for you most of the time.
Plus Keno is outside many people's comfort zone.
Maybe more importantly it is a pure grind play. There are no comped suites, fancy dinners, shows, birthday gifts and I doubt the bar owner gives you an offer. Nothing wrong with that it's your job being a prospector. It is not part of the casino lifestyle fantasy that attracts a lot of people.
Even if someone quit their job, bought an old VW bus and tried to find your plays and found them so what. Now it would be two people milking one play until someone wised up and killed it for both of you.
I don't blame you for being proud and crowing a bit. It's a niche that you carved that most people would not look at.

I think Starbucks and Johnny Rockets are excluded, and yes you can use them at the gift shop.

Bring plenty of gas and hotel money. You ain't going to just drive into this state and find my plays. You better be dedicated. They don't call this place Big Sky Country for nothing. There are 18,000 machines spread out amongst 1700 licensed licensed establishments in Montana. I always love it when I show the folks a major advantage play and someone starts talking like they are the ones with all the brains. If thats all they have to offer then they are nothing.

The greatest trick the Advantage Keno ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
I believe there are weird paytables that along with a progressive might give advantage play. There were many mistakes in VP at various times, but I don't see anyone here burning the gas to prove it one way or another and I bet MC does, too. Unless he blabs a location, his plays are safe. Even if you found a location o guarantee it was about to pay off at that time anyway, you might see no current AP and leave. Maybe he figured out which tech to grease, someone will win eventually it might as well be him, right. The won't be an eye in the sky at the Sheepshagger Bar and Grill in Cowpattie, MT.

We just started getting a monthly mailer after a long period when we were no longer playing there. Some new items on it, including weekly "resort credits" on specific days. I am assuming you can use them for food outlets, but are there any that are excluded? Are there other places to use them, i.e., the gift shop?
