Quote: djatcHope there will be updates made to machines since they don't seem to take new $5 bills. Maybe the TITOs are good but not those coindroppers I love to play when I'm killing time.
My wife was paid in new hundreds at Revel this past weekend. The cashier told her to take them to Showboat or Resorts because Revel's machines won't take them. I kid you not! You can't make this stuff up. Yes, Revel's machines took them without any problem.
No comment on the airhead in the cage.

Speed past Highway Patrol with 35k in your trunk and let us know the results.
Already deposited the ATM money from Sunday and on the grind (with my shots ONLY) and have 7 old ones now.
Hoo boy! Welcome to my craps world, High-T.Quote: AhighI had eleven of them on Sunday. Then I lost them all and had to hit the ATM. I was GAMBLING WIZARD OF ODDS STYLE $10 and $100 odds on every random shooter every roll a line or come bet -- four shooters and zero repeaters -- around a table at the Silverton Sunday. It took a couple of weeks to grind that $1100 and only a few minutes to lose it on some finger snappers from the north side of Vegas trying to win $15 from a $5 field bet. I would love to have that surveillance tape as how quickly $1,000 can disappear at a 10x table (about 5 minutes?)
One morning last week, a guy sat down at the blackjack table next to mine and bought in with a new hundred. I only noticed him because I was at third base, he at first base, and he kept bumping my chair with his. He reeked of stale booze and cigarettes and was not a courteous smoker.
After losing his buy in, he opened his wallet to try again with his last hundred but the bill wasn't there. He swore he had two and when another player suggested that maybe two were stuck together at the buy in, that's all the guy needed. The dealer became quite defensive assuring him that that was impossible.
The guy called for the pit boss and demanded that he open the drop box and check. The dealer reiterated the impossibility of what the player said had happened. The pit boss politely but firmly told the guy to calm down. After taking down the pertinent information the pit boss said he would launch an investigation but under no circumstances would the drop box be opened in the middle of a shift.
Fast forward about a week. Investigation complete, two new hundreds with sequential serial numbers found stuck together, money refunded.
This story is more about personal responsibility than about the new hundreds but I got a kick out of it. Hope you do too.
Quote: 1BBDoes everyone like the new hundred dollar bill? When I went to the cage yesterday the cashier asked me if I wanted the new ones, like it was a special treat. I told her whatever was easier for her but she dug down to find them anyway.

This does not happen with the new, crisp Canadian polymer notes that I've handled. But, I've had a really hard time keeping new US $100 bills from sticking together. I think it's because the US bills are textured while the CAD are smooth. It's been so bad for me with the USD that I'm using $1s as spacers between the big bills.
Was that so hard? These aren't collectables =p
And I'm not one to run into this problem often! If I can figure that out, what the problem is?
They'll probably be printing NEW new $100s before I ever see one of these new $100s =p
Quote: FaceThe second thing I did, immediately, was squash and crinkle the hell out of it.
I was about to post this same thing. Crumple each bill up into a ball and then flatten it back out and no more sticking together.

I know. I just sold my yard truck and plow and was paid 10K in new hundreds. They were so stuck together that I had my wife dump them at the bank. She says she got rid of them all so I better not find out she was structuring. :-)
The bills, two bands and the envelope couldn't have been a half inch thick.
YesQuote: IbeatyouracesAny time you get any sort of new bill , crumple them up a bit.
If I'm really I'm a mood, I'll throw them in a delicates bag and then into the washing machine!
Quote: DJTeddyBearI'll crumple them, then rotate every other bill, crumple again then straighten them. This way, even the crumples are mis-aligned.

That's money laundering!
I will be in Vegas late December.... anybody who wants a nice new CANADIAN $100 bill I will trade for those new $100 US bills.... at par ;)

I remember trading in 1 U.S. $100 bill and getting 1.75 Canadian $100 bills in return! Ahh the good ole days.
Yes the days when Casino Windsor were making a million PLUS PLUS PLUS a day thanks to those folks across the river that were getting 60% on their money to gamble with

Only thing funnier than that will be the people holding the new $100 bill thinking it is worth $100.
