A few weeks ago, I was playing at Valley View. While talking to a slot attendant, the conversation turned to players that had been banned from playing. The attendant said she knew of two people that had been banned. I recalled this post and wondered if the OP was one of the two players she knew. Well, now she knows three. I joined this "exclusive" club today.
I don't really know why I was chosen to be banned. Well, no, I do, sort of. I had quite a few taxable hits over the last quarter there. But no eye-popping ones like the OP's two $40k hits. Nor was I taking advantage of promotions other than my weekly Moreplay. I played mostly $1 level VP, occasionally venturing into $2 and $5 games. Based on my records, my net win this year from Valley View is well under five figures. Yet, according to "Mike", VP of Marketing, my play was too strong. Uh-huh, my strong mind simply overpowered the software and willed those four aces to be dealt to me.
After my conversation with the slot attendant, I was thinking I could be a candidate for banning. I'm not terribly upset about this. I won't even be too mad if I don't get my Moreplay money, about $300. It isn't as if Valley View is chock full of full-pay VP. Over the past 3-4 years, VV has decimated their VP inventory. I happened to get on a lucky streak and beat the odds on some less than optimal games. For that, maybe I should be thanking Valley View for ensuring I leave their place a winner.
