Did you know who was on duty at the time of the jackpot (sorry if this information was stated earlier)?
Quote: girlinvegasno way, absolutely no way possible i was at a different 711... this one was right around the corner from where we lived.... not even a mile.... the next closest one is at least 3 miles and I WENT IN THIS 711 DAILY....it was on my way home.... i knew the employees and they knew me.... and liked me and i tipped them well when i won.....
If it's Vegas Valley Dr & Maryland, there's also a 7-11 on Karen Ave & Vegas Valley, that's about 1/4 mile maybe.

Hey, the Judge Judy or whomever will give you a what for anyway. --- the people here are probably doing you a favor getting you prepared.
If you're in court they're going after your reputation if it derails your claim.
Get all your facts straight, , and you may win. If the person or person(s) is caught in a lie, that may shift the verdict in your favor, no matter if you end up making your self sound stupid and drunk, if you stick to the truth as best as you remember it.

We are a betting and gambling group. If you were to ask me, or just about any of us here, if I/we thought there was a better chance that you are crazy rather than you hit the jackpot in question, I believe that the bets would fall pretty firmly on "crazy". Understand, I absolutely believe that you THINK you won a jackpot. But your story, and your behavior regarding it, how you are dealing with it by arguing with strangers on a gambling forum, are both completely nuts.
Quote: girlinvegasyeah,, actually i was robbed of the other money i had on me that night and of my cell phone and my SHOES! the cell phone records showed calls from my stolen phone to my roommate and vice versa and other people i knew , all calling each other back and forth on MY STOLEN PHONE..
You should still pursue this with the police.
Quote: girlinvegasActually, i kinda just stumbled upon this site when i was looking for verification proof that what that agent stated about those machines not paying out 8000 was untrue.... thats all i was looking for.... and somehow, i started telling everybody the story and actually i'm glad i did because i got some really good advice and i'm going to represent myself in the hearing and tell the truth and do the subpoena duces tecum for the video tapes and hope for the best...... if i lose, ill have given it my best shot... i can live with that... i am bothered by the references to me as "drunk bruised girl" and a few other comments.... i normally wouldnt do this, but the picture that comes to my mind when someone is referred to as such is a pretty ugly picture and while i'm no beauty queen, i dont like the image that comes to mind when i think of "drunk bruised girl" that really bothered me so i took my picture just now ... here is the link if anybody is interested..... well... i guess its time to put an end to this thread.... my first experience with a forum ever and i came upon it by accident... thank you to everybody for all the advice and i have learned alot of lessons and my brain is ready to stop thinking about it for a night or two.... please dont think of me as drunk bruised girl.... that bothers me alot cuz it isnt me...so if you care to see, this is me... and im not drunk or bruised anymore. just that one awful night..

The amount of unwarranted drama here (entire thread) is pretty telling. And there are weird holes in the narrative... if you want to know if that machine is capable of a $8000 jackpot, why not toddle down and have another look? Didn't you say it was less than a mile away? You could have easily been there and back in the time it's taken to write all these posts.
And lastly, FWIW, the pic proves nothing. I'm not saying it's not you, just that no one here has anyway for knowing if it's you, and therefore it fails the test of proving anything. Give me 10 minutes and I could come up with 10 pictures (or more) of women taking a picture of themselves in a mirror, they just aren't that hard to find. But perhaps more importantly, WHY BOTHER AT ALL? Why do you care what anyone on this message board thinks?
Quote: girlinvegasdrunk bruised girl.... wow.. you have no idea about me really...
Correct, we have no idea about you, really! Both the words 'drunk' and 'bruised' were quotes from YOUR narrative. I'm probably batty, but perhaps one of the local forum members would meet you, look at the original evidence you have, go to the 7-11 in question and check the machines, and report back to the forum. I think it would interest the forum if there is a bonafide letter from Nevada Gaming stating that there are no $8000 jackpots but it can be shown that there are! As far as your friends stealing your money, of course that is of more interest to you..... Please don't take offense to the drunk bruised comment. We all (maybe except FRGamble) have been drunk and bruised at some point in our lives.

And that would indicate that the investigator, was at the very least careless. Once you establish that fact, then it's quite possible his "review" was less than satisfactory.
Quote: SOOPOOI'm probably batty, but perhaps one of the local forum members would meet you....
That is the kind of thing that sets off the dangerwillrobinson in me. Because the alarms are going off big time on this situation. Don't get personally dragged into a stranger's drama.
Quote: WizardI was planning to visit that 7-11 by myself to verify that pay table. However, if any other local wishes to beat to it, by all means, have at it. In my 11 years in Vegas I have never been to that intersection.
OK, CSI Wizard. We now have a putative photo of alleged vegasgirl. Why don't you bring it to said 7-11 and see if anyone recognizes her as she 'goes there alot and leaves big tips'? I recommend you go in disguise, say, with a Groucho Marx mustache and nose. I also recommend that you play the machines until you hit a large jackpot. Then tell the counter girl that you do not have ID. Let's see how it plays out this time......
Keep us posted, girlinvegas.
I would not trust a single word of it.
It's no secret that drunk compulsive gambler's head is full of fantasy.
I guess it's life slightly altering, but that's still nice.
A. Played for nickels instead of quarters.
B. Switch to video poker, assuming you play the liberal machines and with proper strategy.
I figure if you're playing 10 minutes a day at $1 a bet, video keno will cost you about $6,000 per year.
Quote: girlinvegasthe lawsuit will be against 7-11... They are the ones who didn't pay me yet and who mistakenly paid the wrong person. That term 'FRIEND" i used very loosely... The female who collected the money was not my friend, not ever... She was a relative of my roommate and my roommates father owned the house and lived there so she and her kids spent alot of time at the house i lived in.... She was not my friend... My roommate on the other hand WAS my friend, so i thought......... i never even liked the female but called her friend for lack of better way to refer to her.. 7-11 has the issue now with my roommmate and his sister in law....... i have an issue with 711 for being dumb and incompetent enough to not do a little more research and make sure they were paying $8000 out to the right person! They stole from 711 ..... not from me.... 711 owe me.... They owe 711..... PERIOD... IM GOING TO TAKE ALL OF YOUR ADVICE AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH... IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE INFO FOR ME ABOUTY THE SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM for the camera records id really appreciate it... I think i will be the best person to represent myself in all this because i'm the only one who knows all the facts of what happened and i can answer any question anybody throws at me... all they have to do is look at the video tapes and the truth will be right there..... the subpoena duces tecum is going to save me.....

It appears that you will not actually need to file a subpoena duces tecum. It says that a subpoena or subpoena duces tecum will be filed at the request of any party, so you would simply subpoena the correct person from 7-11 and gaming official with the subpoena duces tecum to make sure they have available the camera records. I would also go ahead and subpoena everyone who was at that 7-11 with you that night, if your version of events is correct, a perjury charge for lying to the Commission under oath may change their accounting of events...
You can file motions up to ten days prior to the hearing once the hearing is scheduled, so that would be the time to file the Motion for Subpoena Duces Tecum and Motions for Subpoena. I would call there and ask whether you can include all of your subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum on the same motion, or if it needs to be a separate motion for each one.
If she asked for that stuff in Discovery, she could have it in a month or two. If she wants subpoenas, she would have to wait until after the lawsuit was underway, as I understand things. IANAL.
Why you utilize the machines at 7 11 is beyond me as is why you think any of the people involved are or ever were your friends.
Apparently you've received a response from a lone gaming agent, since the amount in question appears to be over the minimum amount, I think you have a right to file for a re-hearing by the full gaming board.
If you do need to file a legal action you will need to know what 7 11 paid out and to whom they paid it as well as obtain your own copy of the tape. This "witnesses say you sat there and didn't play" means that these "friends" who stole the money are the so called "witnesses".
Gamble more sensibly, drink more sensibly, choose acquaintances more sensibly.
Quote: heatherI think that we might be getting ahead of ourselves on subpoenas and hearings. She would need to initiate a lawsuit first, which would require filing a complaint that the other party or parties would then have thirty days to respond to before any hearing could be scheduled. BUT, after filing the complaint, if they don't respond, she'll automatically get whatever she's asking for. If they do respond (almost guaranteed), this will begin the Discovery process, where she can submit a Request for Production of Documents, and ask for videos, payout records, tax forms associated with jackpots, etc. Also Interrogatories, where she can ask the other party or parties to answer a list of questions "fully, completely, and at length".

She can file a Motion for Subpoena in the appeals process with the Gaming Commission.
Let's cross one bridge at a time.

Yes, appealing the decision, and the ability to file a motion for subpoena is part of that, check my link in my post on the previous page.
The "victim" here, if anyone believes this collosal story, needs to realize a few things:
1) If anyone smells any bullshit, all of your efforts to gain compensation will fail. The courts will laugh at you whilst your lawyers steal from you.
2) At this point, even if you are 100% honest and pristine, this whole thing REEKS just by the fact that you're hanging around with drunks, junkies and whores.
3) IT IS VERY COMMON THAT GOOD, HONEST, DECENT PEOPLE GET RIPPED OFF (oops, sorry about shouting).
4) In any case, no matter what, in any dispute over money, most of it will go to the lawyers and to the legal system itself. THERE IS NO WAY FOR YOU TO BE LEGALLY REPRESENTED AND HAVE ANY $$$ LEFTOVER FROM THESE VAMPIRES (the lawyers, not the junkies, sorry about the shouting again).
BOTTOM LINE: JUST WALK AWAY WITH A GOOD LESSON.
As far as your personal hostility towards those that you say have wronged you, consider the source, are you gonna marry any of these "FRIENDS" as you call them? Are you planning on having them become a part of your future life? No? Well, they won't be getting you any money, so, do you need them? No? Then its just plain vengance? Yes?
Another lesson in life needed here about how our jails are full of idiots who take revenge? And over some hustled money, something that part of Vegas is really all about???
My advice: You can earn a lot more in your self-employed "day" job than you can spending time looking to "crack" this case. Don't persue this any further, don't look at 7-11 as a big cash-cow waiting to be sued. They have more money and better lawyers and they deal with situations exactly like this all the time... its a basic part of the bussiness of stores where junkies and whores hang around.
Just walk away while you can. If you dont have a gun and a black-belt in karate, then don't mess with the underbelly of a huster's pair-of-dice like Vegas.
Please dont respond in a big rant and repeat everything over again, I'm not accusing you of making anything up.
Quote: konceptumAs a somewhat related side note, does anybody know if going to an online forum and discussing something you are thinking about suing about, or bringing a lawsuit about, would be detrimental to your case? On the one hand, I can see how if the OP were to bring a lawsuit against, well, whoever, that the defendant/respondent would be wise to come to this forum and print out everything the person has written in an attempt to show something about that person, whether the character, or the truth/falsity of claims, etc, etc. On the other hand, there's no way to PROVE that the OP is the same person who brings up the lawsuit, just because they happen to be talking about the same thing.
Telling the world how drunk she was in every other post certainly doesn't help.
