So Hard Rock is having a contest

Grand prize 20 years freeplay (weekly or monthly not sure)

Who wants to imagine someone picking up freeplay for 20 years from the Hard Rock with no additional play

And if play is required is that truly a free grand prize giveaway

Whenever I see people winning things for "life" it is usually one of whatever it is per month which also usually is legally defined as a maximum of 12 per year for example

I plan on getting pummeled to the ground by security for promo abuse having my name and face sent to the DGE so they can send out a BOLO (Be On The Lookout) for me while also proclaiming im not wanted for any crimes

Then launching my false arrest/libel/assault and battery and malicious prosecution lawsuit

I remember some dude at the M won buffet for life, went like every day, got 86’d for sexually harassing buffet employees, and then blew his head off in front of some buffet employees and the customers one day. Don’t do that if you win DO, mmmkay.

That was a while ago. Buffet isn’t bad and I got comp dollars so probably eating there tomorrow, whatevah.

I see your choices as 5$. I was there 2 weeks ago and was reading the terms. It is an amazing promotion if someone wins. It is $500 FP a week for 20 years. I guarantee they will be checking your face with your card on every pickup. As soon as you have someone else pick it up it will be terminated. I talked about this with wife and I am not sure what I would do if I won. Not enough to move there but it would be a pain to drive there every week. I am think that I would go when I could get it 2 days in a row and skip the 3rd week, the do the same for week 4/5 skip 6 repeat for 7/8. That way I am making the drive every 3 weeks instead of every 2.

My guess is they rig it and have someone win that is from Europe or California.

What state?

If you were wearing a mask and doing what I think you were doing, you have no chance IMO.


I have no clue whats going on and I think I would be willing to make a side bet on the outcome.

Well my lawyers dont agree with you and i trust their opinion more

This probably wont be settled for years so doubt you wanna take a sidebet on it

Its looking like its gonna be Yuge to quote our untrusted leader.

But there is a LOT going on

Sorry cant discuss more than that

These kinds of things always come with "if you're banned" clauses, which are unfair because the casino could ban you just because you're collecting on whatever prize you won. Naturally, I agree with GWAE and whoever mentioned the buffet guy. They won't ban people that make the casinos thousands, but ban those who don't such as these "big" winners. Gaming is crooked, corrupt, incompetent, or toothless usually.

I didnt notice that

$500 a week is pretty good if you win it but yea lets see if you can collect that for 20 years without additional play

I generally dont pay attention to these one winner schemes the casinos concoct

I will let my attorneys know I am not pursuing the case any further because a counterpart on WOV told me it was hopeless without even knowing the full facts

I always thought, how trolly would a casino be if they gave out a ton of freeplay, but in really inconvenient pickup times.

for example: $1000 a WEEK!!*

*$5 start on Mondays 8am-11:59am

$10 on Monday 3pm-8pm if you pick up the above

$20 on Tuesday 12:00am to 4am if you pick up the above

$40 on Tuesday 6pm - 8pm if you pick up the above

$80 on Wednesday 2am-8am if you pick up the above

$160 on Wednesday 11am to 1:14pm if you pick up the above

if you pick up all of the above, on Thursday 12am-9am the next pickup will be $5.

Friday is $200 but only $50 allowed to download per hour, if you pick up the above

$480 on Sunday but only $20 per hour, if you pick up the above.

Card must be in machine for 2 hours to download any freeplay. Management reserves all rights

And you can only download $1 at a time on any machine where the touch-screen is messed up, so you have to tap 3 inches to the right of the number you’re trying to hit. Oh and it’s not simple. You gotta do:

Account
Promo
Download
Enter pin
Enter amount
Verify pin
Downloads FP

Of course, there’s like a 15 second pause between each of the above, so it takes like 2 minutes per $20, if you’re lucky and hit the stuff correctly.

Wait, is darkoz the person that the flyer was circulated about from valley forge, the one about a guy wearing a mask? That was one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. It circulated around the AP community over a year ago I think, I forget the exact time.

Is that how everybody recognized me at the WOV springfling?

Im wanted in 3 states because of that

I have one police APB that literally says be on the lookout for this guy. There are NO charges pending at this time but he was recently seen in your vicinity

I am very proud to be one of the few people to have APBs placed on him who they admit have no criminal actions pending against him

Idk about flyers or BOLOs, but considering it takes maybe 5 minutes to connect the dots, it's not difficult to find your picture online or in OSN. #JustSayin'

$500 a week for 20 years is $520,000. And that's if you go every week.

That's fractions of a penny to their bottom line, but great publicity.

This is a pretty interesting story.

https://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/23160-poker-pro-suing-wsop-for-main-event-dq-that-ruined-his-gambling-career

He was retroactively tossed from CET properties for an incident in 2014, when he was card counting BJ athe Horseshoe Baltimore. They dumped him out of the 2017 WSOP Main Event and confiscated $610k in tournament chips on Day 3.



Hmmmm . . . Coincidence?

Obviously, you don't have to answer.

I am just assuming some stuff here when I ask.

I assumed you were backroomed and they called the authorities?

Did they force/ask you to take the mask off and or put back on the mask?

From the picture, I saw the mask just looked terrible. If I were in surveillance I would be watching that person as soon as he walked in.

They were so impressed with the mask they called in different employees and asked me to don it a number of times

I think I took it on and off about 6 times total in holding. I didnt have benefit of a mirror to make sure it was a perfect fit

The day they caught me was the 20th day in a row I had worn the mask in their casino to hide my identity. Ultimately it was the cards usage that allowed them to put it together

I didnt make as much profit as I hoped in that venture but make no mistake I turned a profit
