[vpFREE] Golden Nugget Credit Card Scam

 

Golden Nugget Vegas has had their customer credit cards comprimised. Attackers were able to install a program on their payment card processing devices throughout their facilities. This took place between May 2014 and December 2015.

LOL! no, nothing that serious. Just a personality conflict with someone I've known for 16 years. I met him in the Stardust in 2000. Right off the bat I knew he was quite intelligent. We were both working the banking slots in Vegas at the time. We kept running into each other.

In 2002 he showed up in Reno when I was there. I showed him what he had to do to become a proficient video poker pro. He became known as a torch artist in Reno. LOL!

For the next several years we were always in phone contact. When he found something he thought might be advantage he would call me and i would do the math for him.

Then it gets on to Nov 2007. I had just spent the summer in Montana and was thinking about going back. I walked into the Golden Nugget and found him leaning over the rail watching the uncapped $1-$2 NLHE game. The one thing I knew about him at this point was he was an excellent poker player.

"You can beat that game, can't you?" I asked
"Sure."
"So why arent't you playing?"

Thats when he told me about getting divorced and deciding to hurt himself by blowing off his bankroll. I loaned him $4000 to attack the game and told him not to try to pay me back until he got to $20,000. Then I took off for Montana.

He called me a month and a half later telling me he had my money. i told him to just throw in his safe deposit box and I would pick it up the next time I was in Vegas. He beat the Nugget game for $50,000 in four months.

So it goes on for 2 years and I still haven't gone back down to Vegas to pick up the money. He tells me that he is going to "take a Montana vacation" and pay me the money while he is here. But I know what he is really up to. He knows I wouldn't stay in Montana for 2 years if I wasn't making decent money. He wants to see what I'm doing.

So he shows up and pays me back the money. I show him my plays. He likes them. I tell him that if he wants to he can go to the eastern side of the state and work the plays for a while.

He gets over there and just stays. So we made a deal that everything on I-15 and all points west was my territory and everything east of I-15 is his territory. That is, unless we were taking a road trip together.

And thats when the SHTF. Joint road trips. We had never been jungled up together before. Dude started trying to boss me around. I tought everything he knows about this stuff and he thinks he's the boss. Get out of here.

We got so pissed at each other that we didn't talk for two years. Then we ran into each other in Shelby. Never mind, I guess, that Shelby is my territory. The next thing I knew we were off on another road trip together. But the same thing happened. And I found out that he had been working the hi-line for two years behind my back.

We ran into each other six months later and the same thing happened again. The definition of insanity. So I said I'm though with the situation. No phone cantact, no nothing.

Oh, to answer NOTI's question. There is only so much money to be made here. If just a few more good machine pros came to Montana then we would all be working out butts off for not much money.

[vpFREE] NOLA TRIP REPORT

 


Hi Gang:
Hedy and I scheduled a three-night trip to Harrah's New Orleans a few
months ago to take advantage of a playup TV offer but were bummed out when the
powers that be in NOLA decided to downgrade the paytables on their six
multi-play dollar machines in high limit.
Our last trip there in January was a good one thanks to two royals and
seven sets of deuces playing the NSU triple-play dollar machines and if we
earned 15,000 tier credits on our upcoming trip, we could earn a 65-inch SONY
4K Ultra HD Smart TV.
The offer was enticing, especially with the good plays offered on the six
multi-line machines in high limit, but our world came crashing down with the
news of the downgrades. When we found out that Illinois Deuces (98.9) was
the new option on these machines, we decided to go through with the trip.
After all, our airfare, meals, suite and a pair of tours were being
comped, we had over $300 in free play and the TV was worth around $2,000.
Boy, are we glad we did!
We arrived on Monday (the earning period was Monday morning through
Wednesday afternoon) and we held our own the first day with one set of deuces
carrying us through. The next morning turned out to be historic. I hit another
set of deuces for $1,000 about an hour after breakfast to keep our heads
above water but the best was yet to come. At about 11:45 a.m., I heard Hedy
scream and rock back in her chair. I looked over and there it was on her
screen ... a DEALT royal in diamonds for $12,000!
It was our biggest single hit ever and touched off a celebration that was
probably heard all the way on the other side of the casino! Strangely
enough, it was Hedy's second dealt royal in diamonds in two weeks. The weekend
before she was dealt one at Harrah's AC for $4,000.
The rest was easy as we coasted home from there and put in enough play to
earn the 65-inch SONY TV.
Besides the huge success gambling, we enjoyed a dinner cruise on the
Natchez, a haunted history walking tour and another excellent dinner in the Besh
Steakhouse (all comped).
So, after all was said and done, it turned out to be one of the better
trips of our 18-year VP-playing career.
Regards,
CoachVee & Hedy

PS: I've posted two pictures of the dealt royal to the VPfree Photo
Directory. You can use the link below to access them.

RE: [vpFREE] Silver Sevens Bad Bad!

I divorced them last year when they did not let me use my points to help pay for the room?! They don't let you earn bonus pts. playing BP so they never give you a chance to play even.

Subject: [vpFREE] Silver Sevens Bad Bad!


























Stopped by Silver Sevens yesterday for the first time in a while. Nothing good to report.



Video poker now requires $2 to earn 1 point so rate is now halved for FP / comp/ promotions when playing video poker. A quick look at the website makes it look like this is the case for other sites using the A Play card like the Primm casinos.



Also no multiplier days at all for March. This includes elimination of the 5X points for seniors on your first 1000 points on Wednesdays. Ouch!



I lost track. Is Michael Gaughn's son still the head guy there?
