Re: [vpFREE] Re: Is it a scam?

 

I remember on one trip to Vegas, I think I was getting out of my car in the Mandalay parking garage, and I immediately saw several $100 bills folded in half on the ground. You can probably guess the end of this story, they were just a gimmick advertisement to something, probably a strip club or something. But for a moment my heart stopped beating. What a dirty trick.

Re: [vpFREE] Is it a scam?

 

Thank you, Iguana. YES, that was it! Estella Romanski at Motor City Casino in Detroit. I couldn't pull it out of my memory. But that was it. Yes indeed.

Got to keep a reign on those little old ladies.

Just to be clear, the PARKING LOT is fair game. I can spot a $10 bill in the street from a hundred yards, and I'm nearsighted as a bat. And don't get in my way.

What I didn't include in my previous comments are that I had my worst trip in about 55 to Vegas by about 3 times. First time I've ever ran otta money & had to cash check. I'm coming back early May so sure hope the positive karma continues.

Someone probably did not play thru their free play enough. They hit the cashout button and just walk out not noticing what the left. So you would likely have had to play thru to collect.

[vpFREE] Re: Is it a scam?

 

You guys are reminding me of the good old days. Its a venerable old Las Vegas occupation. Credit hustling. It has lots of slang names, seagulling, silver mining, buffalo hunting, slot cruising, slot walking.
My choice was I could go to the day labor office or I could go slot cruising.

I had built a condo out of pallets and carpet remnants behind the Carpet Barn on Industrial. Into the Salvation Army Store next to the overpass on Main St. for a change of clothes, $5. Then a walk around the corner to the Bonanza St. Pool for a shower and a shave. Deposit the old clothes in the garbage can. And voila! I was looking just like the tourai. Time for some slot cruising.

Yessiree, Bob! Those were the good old days....Not!

[vpFREE] Re: WMS new video poker machines

 

IIRC, WMS had the first multi game machines. This was the late nineties. They were console type machines. Paymar wrote about Flush Fever in Video Poker Times
I think he put the game at 100.4%. There are copycat games called Flush Bonus, Hot Flush, etc.

These machines also had a 10 coin blackjack game with early surrender, 100.4%, and a Let It Ride feature. I played the game on Thursdays, 1% cashback, at Gold River/River Palms. John Growchowski found out about the game and told WMS of their mistake. That was the end of that.
