First, I thought it to be quite humorous that in your first sentence, you properly used the word determined, which is opposite of what the legal department bozos at Boyd Gaming did when they composed their first sentence of this new and improved rule number 24. How many of you got a giggle when you read the beginning of the rule and realized that they meant to use the word determine, not determined? I wonder if somewhere on this gargantuan world wide inner web thing if there is a site like verbadverdadjectivenoun.com. This is just the latest chapter of B.B.B.B. (Bumbling Boyd Bozo Brilliance) for those of you scoring at home.
Let's look at this using logic, which is something that very few of the corporate casino behemoths use. This new "restriction" certainly cannot be a financial decision, as if they plan to continue the YAH (Young At Heart) promotion, they will STILL be giving away the same $2,500 per week that they always have. The first name drawn will STILL receive $500 cash, or $550 in free slot dollars, should the winner prefer that option. The other 20 names drawn will STILL be receiving $100 cash, or $110 in free slot dollars, if they choose. The same amount of money is STILL coming out of their promotional budget, so what difference can it make to Sam's Town who the names belong to? I once recall a friend having his name called with less than 20 of his tickets in the "virtual drawing drum". Could it make any difference to the corporate owner, Boyd Gaming, what names are on this list? I can easily answer all of these questions, so I imagine that these queries are only a mystery and food for the thoughtless clueless executive MANGLEMENT of this property. Why can't we all go back in time before the late bastard billionaire, Howard Hughes, and his good bud, H. Parry Thomas (of Thomas & Mack fame) were the catalysts to convince our Nevada Legislature to change the rules to permit corporations to own a casino? If you really want to make a good guestimate as to an initial detriment point for all Nevada gamblers in our fair state, then you would really have to give this time period some serious thought. Since the emergence of corporate casino ownership, with a myriad of bean counting departments included, most of these executive pinheads have erroneously adopted the business plans of a fortune 500 type business plan. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!! Think it through. These real corporate concerns, some publicly traded and some not, offer to their customers products and/or services. When you consider a gambling entity at it's basic core, without fluff and frill, casinos do not offer either. Damn, I actually miss the mob. This was when "Theo" was only a character on the Cosby show.
Speaking of going back in time, lets just go back less than 5 years ago. Since it is a short hop, I didn't need Sherman, Mr. Peabody, and the wayback machine. I will pinpoint our stop to April of 2012. This happens to be the arrival of the latest manglement crew at Sam's Town, G.M. John Sou and Slot DUUHH-rector Dennis Martinson. The top dog may be somewhat confused, as his LinkedIn profile currently states that he is the V.P. and G.M. at the Freemont. In the summer of 2012, either Boyd or Sam's hired a world renowned and extremely intelligent and quite well known instructor to offer training classes to the clients/players at Sam's Town Gambling Hall and Saloon. Since I know this video poker professor extraordinaire personally, I am not going to insult him by including his name in the same paragraph with the other two names I have already mentioned. This insightful instructor proffered up his wisdom to students in about 10 different video poker related classes during the months of July and August of the year 2012. Since I alluded to our top teacher being smart, I am reasonably sure that he was paid for his valuable knowledge sharing in said classes, either by Boyd or by Sam's Town.
With no DeLorean needed, let's head back to the present to the new year of 2017. I'm guessing that in some kind of a boardroom meeting at the struggling Sam's property, after they determined how their current cliff dive was going, they sat around with, say a dozen suits, flipping quarters. When player names came up on the monitors, if five or more quarter flips came up tails, that person will be designated as an "advantage" player. How did it not come up in this executive excursion in stupidity that the same (expletive) executives were responsible for training their clients to be better video poker players, and paid someone to do it? Could this possibly get more ludicrous than it is? The casino that sponsored training for it's players, and paid someone to teach them, are now going to try to penalize these players for learning to play better. This truth is DEFINITELY stranger than fiction and seems actually un-American. Is there more on this? You bet. The next meeting of the N.G.C.B. (Nevada Goofball Control Board) is this Wednesday. Is what Sam's is trying to do legal? My feeling is that it has to be a violation of Regulation 5. This promotion is advertised to the public all across the valley to the public at large. I am trying to get info as I type. Those that would like to pose a query to the board can do so at this email address: liaison@gcb.nv.gov
Stay tuned.
