I don’t think they go out of their way to police it. He said he could’ve still been profitable even without the players card and points but that it did add a decent chunk to his profits.
I think they would rather the money go back into the pockets of losing players as it’s significantly more likely to get recycled back into the casino if it’s won by a casual than a pro.
I think this is wrong from the perspective of the casino. If the money is coming out of the machine, they want it going in the hands of people who will play more -EV slots (for the player), not someone who will only put it towards further +EV opportunities.
For sure but its not nearly as bad for the house as a successful counter or sports bettor. I doubt they spend much resources fighting it
Here’s an example of an exploitable machine. I scope these every time I’m at a casino. I rarely find one that’s ready to pop but it occasionally does happen.
I am in town for a wedding until Saturday. Someone booked their wedding same weekend that we have Pearl Jam tickets at Wrigley. We are doing both. And probably back at lake in WI by Sunday.
Cliffs of my quick trip:
Got in Thursday. Checked in at Golden Nugget and my partner jumps in an uber to go to a Bachelorette party. I jump in an Uber to go to Nuwu to pick up some cannabis. I roll really bad and driver takes me to the Nuwu drive through and we get stuck there for like 15 minutes. Picked up a bunch of prerolls and I smoke one in their courtyard.
I play a poker session and win $50 in about 4 hrs. Gf gets back and wants sexy time. I take her to bed and once she passes out I go play for a couple of hours at a horrid table and lose $25. Its really wierd not being a local anymore.
Friday we wake up and eat at Hash House. Then we spend a few hours at the adults only pool. I am pissed I am not at whispers getting my voyeur fix. But alas we dont have time for that. By 5 we are at the wedding at the Italian American Club. It is a Star Wars themed wedding which was different. The food was pretty solid for a wedding buffet and the drinks were strong. Back to the hotel by 10 and we pass out as we had to leave for the airport by 7. We tried to smoke all the cannabis but ended up handing the leftovers to a group of youths on Freemont street who gladly appreciated the ~$20 of prerolls.
what is whispers?
Vegas swingers club.
The best swingers pool party IMO. Couples and single ladies only. New pool as of last year. I dont even care about hooking up as I feel like Shamu at the moment but I have discovered minimal naked swimming this far in WI.
Which of the high end steakhouses are great?
So far our candidates are
Bazaar meat
Craft steak
Cut
Delminico
Out are
Nusr-et
STK
Bavettes
SW.
tbh i think most top steakhouses going to provide a good product for an absurd price. Kinda a question of the vibe you like. I enjoy Delmonico a lot as well. Nothing special about it though.
yea it was the go to when i lived there. but… that was 20 years ago at this point so
SW is a safe and expensive bet. I guess you can do Golden Streer if you want to try old vegas experience. Never been but I see it trending lately on social media. Not my cup of tea.
Bazaar Meat is great, but not standard.
If you want an interesting steakhouse experience, that’s the pick. If you want a more traditional steakhouse experience, then don’t go there.
Bazaar meat. Though I haven’t been to the others.
SW high on the list, but it’s not on your list.
Is Golden Steer the one in the strip mall that has like a two month waiting list?
yeah. no clue about the waiting list but i guess it makes sense with the amount of times i’ve seen it on social media in the last year.
