Slot question.
Quote: MrVMembers are not allowed to discuss the contents of PM's without the sender's consent, as I understand the rule.
Given that, how is it "fair" then for a mod to request that a member send another member's PM to the mod for review and follow up action?
Mods are forum members too: shouldn't the "do not discuss contents of PM's" apply to them equally as well?
At the time, Wizard, Mission, and JB were green. JB only did Web admin, hence the specification, as well as giving names to those looking for forwarding. The intent, as has been discussed several times by Wizard when the subject comes up, is "a content moderator" is the best resource for PM spam or complaints, and I've provided that service many times.
The rule language needs to be updated. The function and intent are the same.
As for the best time of day to play slots, I think it depends on what you're trying to do. I definitely do best in an empty casino, especially if it has just emptied out. So early morning could also be a good time for others if they're looking at things the same way...
Quote: rdw4potusBeen gone a few days. Just catching up & saw this thread. Wondering why two admins are fighting about the severity of an insult without any consideration of a penalty. Everybody agrees that Nathan is soaking wet after having crossed the line, but digital water is the only repercussion? really?

I have sincerely apologized for going down Lyla's throat. I shouldn't have done that. I at first welcomed her warmly and them turned around and unfairly chastised her in paranoid rants. What the heck?
Quote: NathanI personally think you should put your PM box back. It's becoming clearer and clearer that you are not a Troll or a mischievous Sock. You are coming across as a Legitimate Newbie. :)
No thanks Nathan. I don't want to go through what you and others have gone through. :( And I don't want negative, accusing messages sent to me. Out in the open is what I think is better for me. People can be so nasty. As I read a little more I feel that once someone is targeted they will always be targeted.
I saw the link to short bus in your corner. That is breaking the camels back for me. Doesn't everyone know that short bus is making fun of mentally and physically handicapped children? Innocent children?

Lyla, you are welcome here. :)

Yes I was kinda looking at it that way. But guess what. You have to stop playing at nite so to have something left in the morning. I didn't do that last time. Lol

We all make little mistakes in gambling, whether it be not leaving when up or playing $150 on losing Lottery tickets. ;)
Quote: onenickelmiracleLyla you sure have caught up to the forum and all the intricacies so quickly. Figuring out how to block pms so quickly, getting all the ins and outs about Nathan right away, and completely ignoring Axelwolfs comment early in the thread instead of just replying with a question about what it meant.
So it's your turn now. Well I learned how to log out the day I joined. Above logout is 5 very simple things to do. Easy peasy. A third grader could do it and I'm smarter than a third grader. ;) No intricacy about it.
I will never respond to the person you mentioned. Ever. I thought it was some kind of hazing. I waited for more. While I was waiting I became aware of certain things here. Okay I'll ask you what did it mean?
Watching Big Brother now. Anyone else? Will it be Brett or Rachael?
Judging from the number of Nathan supporters I thought a smaller bus would be more efficient and cute.
Quote: AxelWolfTo be fair(as Nathan would say), I said all GOOD teams need a bus.

Quote: beachbumbabsSend me whatever you received that caused you a problem. We will resolve it.
Thank you. I really really don't want any more attention. That's not why I joined.
My nice boss gave me tomorrow and Fri off cuz I've been filling in for vacays. So I'll have some time to spend on the forum. Then he asked me to work the weekend. Lol
This is really funny.Lol. I thought oncedear was a woman and beachbumbbabs was a man. Oncedear is such a cute name. ;) And I looked at beachbumbbabs as a beach bum. But beach bumb abs. I thought it was a beach bum with nice abs. Lol. Isn't that crazy. ;0
I'll check back later if anyone responds. I have my beautiful nieces for the day til mama gets home. They are cute as a button and I love them sooooo much!!!!
Quote: LoneStarLylaHi Y'all! I joined to get info on Vegas and New York Casinos. I can look up the Vegas myself but if anyone could give any NY tips it would be great.

My general rule of thumb for slots is to "invest" no more than 100 times bet, preferably no more than 50 times bet. If there is a progressive jackpot that requires max bet but you don't want to bet that much, pick another machine. That would suck to bet 20c at Quick Hits and get 9 quick hits (the top jackpot) when you would have won thousands of dollars betting the $2 max (that machine varies in lines and max bet coins, but you get the drift).
Also, if a slot machine has free games, put in more money (100x bet instead of 50x bet would be justifiable), because it's harder to win if you don't get free games, and obviously it's less likely to get free games during the session if you don't have enough bets as initial bankroll.
One of my favorite slot machines is bullseye bonus. Three bullseye symbols anywhere on the 5 reels starts the bonus game. You pretty much HAVE to get that in order to win anything. Most other slot machines with free games have a better chance at winning on the lines without free games, but of course, the downside is that free games doesn't win as much. Bullseye bonus has the potential to win an awful lot if you get enough locked wild reels (plus I love the music).
Have fun!
Quote: billryanNY has both Las Vegas style slots and video lottery terminals. It's a matter of which casino you are in. The two closest to NYC are video lottery only.
The general rule is that it's VLTs if it's a racing commission property and it's "real" slots if it's a tribal casino, right?

Thanks Kevin! This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for! Usually I see a nice machine and just sit down. But I'll tell you what. Next time I will remember this and pay more attention to the different machines. Still learning with a long way to go. Lol
I'm not an Administrator here anymore, but I sucked at being one for several years.
Anyway, may I please strongly encourage you to share any PM's you felt may have been harassing with BeachBumBabs? Not only would that be a definite violation of Forum Rules, but if anyone actually did say anything harassing, I'm sure we would love to know who it was. Harassment is never appropriate and my personal opinion is that asking someone to put up bikini pics constitutes harassment.
Do note that I wouldn't be surprised if BBB requests screenshots of the PM's, so you would likely end up having to E-Mail those. But, if there are people harassing female members on here, I would love nothing more than for them to be outed.
Quote: HosetThank you for starting this thread! It was actually really interesting to read different opinions.
agree! thank you
Sorry you haven't had a warm reception. The forum has a history of dealing with some deceptive individuals going back far before I was a member here and it's left a mark. An atmosphere of increased trust would do it some good. Welcome to the forum.
Quote: FinsRuleI’m guessing casinos will be worse in 2029 than they are in 2019. They are worse in 2019 than they were in 2009. But probably better in 2009 than 1999.
In what ways specifically? As a youngin, I'm curious.
You can play electronic games anywhere. I think casinos are putting themselves out of business.
It should be about the whole leisure experience.
inverted = higher tier jackpot is now lower than a lower tier on multi-jackpot machine. This doesn't always happen when higher jackpots hit, but you see it sometimes after reset. Possibly meaningless, but thought i'd ask.
Quote: LoneStarLylaHi y'all. I'm visiting my baby brother in Va and we went to the casino and I finally tried video poker! I hit a Royal Flush for $4,000!!!! Yahoo!!!

That's the classic "good news / bad news."
Nothing else quite "sets the hook" like winning a jack pot.
I'll be going back home on Tue so all I have to do is stay away till then. My flight's already been delayed. Lol!
Quote: LoneStarLylaLol. I was tickled pink to be $60 ahead when the royal hit! I got my money and we left without playing any more. Now my brother's GF is talking about going back but I don't know. I never seem to win at my home casino so I know I was lucky. Thankfully my home casino is far far away. I'm not even that good at VP. Somebody was trying to teach me how to play.

I was once teaching someone to play video poker for her first time when 4 to a royal came up! I jokingly said, “Now this next card will be a queen”. And the royal came up. Not only that it was a sequential royal, but unfortunately we weren’t on a sequential or reversible royal pay scale.
I had forgotten all about that.
I actually went through explaining this wasn’t actually what you should be expecting on any normal basis.
I love my slots but I think I'll switch to VP for a while. Anyone know the hot VP machines? Any tips from the pros? My vacay is over and I didn't go back to the casino and lose my win. :) Flying home tomorrow and won't be seeing a casino for a looong time.
