Schaden-Ace
So as the commercial goes, so does Ace go - ready to WIN WIN WIN!
There is a new points multiplier promotion wherein you touch a casino chip on the touch screen kiosk...there are 9 on the screen arranged in 3 rows of 3
I normally touch the center on these types of promotions but this time I decided to touch the top right
I received a 2x multiplier
However, the screen then revealed all the other chip values - of course, the one in the center was listed as 100x multiplier
(Now, I realize this is a RNG situation and touching or not touching the screen at a certain point will determine what is shown as well as the probability programmed into the machine)
So, the next promotion that appeared on the screen was for free slot play or extra raffle tickets for the Saturday night cash drawings
So, I had to touch one of 5 pies on the screen (blueberry, apple...etc.)
Instead of touching the dead center of the screen I touched the top right...
I received 50 bonus raffle entries for tomorrow night...
They then revealed what the other prizes would have been - of course, the pie in the middle was worth $10k in free slot play
Again, I realize the RNG and programmed probability come into play but I find it interesting that both times I didn't pick the spot I normally pick, the prize would have been the best prize available...
Why bother to show the players "what might have been"...? So far, all it has done for me is put me in a bad mood...
Hence, the only winner of this promotion is now EvenBob
Quote: strictlyAPAce if you touched center that would not have been the prize they are ore determined prior to you picking to the best if my knowledge. They offer this at sugar house and I stand and watch and 99 percent if the time it's the lowest. It's not an rng like you are thinking
I wholeheartedly agree - I think what annoyed me was the actual revealing of "what might have been" - IMHO , this can only serve to annoy players...
Perhaps EvenBob and Buzz were the programmers...? Lol

They aren't. It's the same as getting up from
a losing slot and the next person gets a jackpot,
and you think that would have been you. It
wouldn't have been, just like what they did here
with what you picked. Don't fall for it. But it's
too late, you're already in a bad mood on the
one weekend I'm rooting for you.
Quote: aceofspadesWell, EvenBob will be happy and I have not even played yet...

I got some trash for my 3 swipe and wins ($5 Free Slot Play, 50 Bonus Entries twice), and 4X multiplier. Debating whether to run $80,000 through the 9/6 JoB machines ($4 coin-in per point now becomes $1 per point, for a comp rate of 1%, plus mailers) to earn $800 comp dollars.
Revel apparently added a whole row of single play full pay games (JoB, BP, etc) in $1, $2, $5 and $10 denominations.

I picture you in a high backed leather chair stroking a cat

Some would look at this as proof. Cause and effect ;)
Quote: aceofspades@chauncey - are you at Revel? I thought you were in the Northwest...
Hey ace!
I am here at Revel, back from Lake Tahoe! With lots of CET's money!
First session of the trip:
$ people (including me) at the table
We all won the first hand then all lost the next 10 hands
from there it was up and down and I ended the shoe down 1100
I switched tables
I started the next table off losing 4 hands then, in the middle of the shoe, got a nice little run and had made 1k of the 1100 back
However, I then lost two doubles and a couple of bad beats (dealer pulling 21 against my 20)
By the end of the shoe I had won back 750 of the 1100
Trip is negative 350
Bob is somewhere smiling!

I'm rooting for you, Ace. I'm trying to prove
that me rooting for you has the opposite effect
on how you do. No schaden for me at your
expense on this trip..

So far Bob - your plan is working (even down to the dogs)

Doesn't say how much you lost so it's meaningless.

S**** just got real!!!
Quote: chaunceyb3LOL! Ace, anytime you want to play Tiles to get your $50 back, text me. I really, really mean anytime. As in this calendar year. As in this decade.
HAHA!!!
Caught a horrible shoe - dealer had 3 blackjacks and 4 additional 21's in the shoe - despite that, I was able to only lose another 200
The next shoe is where it went downhill...
I had amazing opportunities...dealt 4 double downs and 2 splits - LOST THEM ALL!!!
By the end of the shoe I was down 1800
I had had enough of that particular table (although for some reason, the gentleman that was playing there as well and continually yelling that this was the "worst dealer ever" decided to stay and continue to play with the "worst dealer ever" lol
I moved over and began winning some doubles and caught a nice run...
Trip is now negative 600
(which is w hole lot better than negative 1800)
Ace if this aggregated you in any way. You would have killed yourself if you were me.
I have missed, zigged and zigged hundreds of times on on legitimate things though out the years.
Once, I had 11 out of 13 tickets in a drawing for 4k and missed.
The BLOB has struck again. (BLame it On Bob)Quote: aceofspadesOK sat back down last night at negative 350

Started out on a nice run of three wins in a row - then hit a bad run - then hit a couple of doubles
Made 500 that shoe
Trip is now only negative 100
Quote: AxelWolfI sat and watched 20 people swipe their cards on the kiosks at revel. No one got better then $5 free play on the pie pick. Yet the 10k was allways next to the 5 bucks. No one got better then 3x point multiplier, I could see last night. When I swiped I was going tobpick pumpkin pie, but my GF quickly hit cherry or whatever. Sure enough 10k was under pumpkin. For fun, I asked a slot employee, who was heling people swipe, If it was random she said, yes. I said, really ! 1 out of 5 people get 10k? She said, no..*Face Palm*. She said, she once seen 25x point multipyer.

It was merely the fact that they show you what might have been , knowing full well it would likely never have been
Played one shoe - caught a nice run at the end and pick up 500
Trip is +400
ABBA MANIA tonight!!!
Quote: aceofspadesPre-breakfast shoe this morning:

Trip is now only negative 100
Rooting for you Ace. Hope you go home with another
$5000..
The rwsult of which is I am still negative 100
sticking pins in my lawyer doll and hoping for shaden,
you'd be ahead by $2k by now.
Quote: EvenBobI'm rootin for ya and look what's happening. If I had been
sticking pins in my lawyer doll and hoping for shaden,
you'd be ahead by $2k by now.
They drew 42 winners for tonight's $30K giveaway, each winning $500 to $5K, and neither ace nor I were called. Thanks EvenBob.
thats because everyone gets fifty free entries just for swiping their cards. Evry hustler, grandma, and taxi driver has tickets in.Quote: chaunceyb3They drew 42 winners for tonight's $30K giveaway, each winning $500 to $5K, and neither ace nor I were called. Thanks EvenBob.
my cheering for you help, as I predicted it wouldn't?

You're right, it's like an insidious drug that
attacks the central nervous system, I'd
forgotten that. 4 part harmony Scandinavian
groups should be outlawed.
I sat down after the show and lost the first 14 of 18 hands
Switched tables and was dealt Ace, Ace on the first hand versus dealer 7
Ace dealt another Ace
Ace dealt a 3
Dealer flips over a 10 for 17
Second hand dealt Ace, Ace yet again versus dealer 7
Ace dealt a 4
Ace dealt a 5
Dealer yet again flips over a 10 for 17
At this point I Was down 3k
Switched tables yet again and, over the course of the next 2 hours, despite the dealer seemingly always being able to make a hand, managed to pick up 700
Trip was now down 2300
Took a break for daylight savings as well as a deep breath and dove back in
Within 2 shoes I had regained some cash and my composure
The trip ended -1k
YTD is +9700
Quote: aceofspades
The trip ended -1k
Hope you learned a lesson. Next week I'm getting
out the lawyer doll and the gold plated needles and
it's schaden unleashed. At least you'll have a fighting
chance, knowing I'm against you winning.
This is all about me, try and remember that..
