Insanity at Foxwoods
Quote: mickeycrimmAnd not only that. I would have demanded a personal meeting with that slot host. Then slapped the hell out of the ignorant some of a bitch.
I wonder if slot hosts shoot out freeplay if you keep hitting them? hmmm.....
Quote: 4ofaKindFrom what I gather from your postings you’re about 40 years old, a lawyer, live on the east coast, and a BJ card counting expert.
I find it hard to believe that you actually made this childish post above. Ten gambling friends and family members swore Foxwoods off because you didn’t get into a free-roll. Do you really think the casino (approx. 3 billion dollars in debt) would even notice?
I would think that a card counter wouldn’t be so quick to burn up casino locations that still aren’t aware of their card counting talents since they obviously still welcome you.
Why not teach them a lesson at the tables until they finally tap you on the shoulder and ask you to leave?
You would think a lawyer of all people would have been trained to sit back and think things out before making a fool of themselves with their first thoughts that came to mind.
You are not in my shoes…you do not live my life. My choices are my choices and I shall suffer the repercussions, if any, thereof. I am not sure they will notice the lack of return visits from my family and friends but, we will notice it. We will know that we made a choice to not deal with a casino that played bait and switch. It is a matter of principle, not finances.

Repercussions? No way! You have too many choices out there and Foxwoods is just a small blip.
Given how casinos are popping up all over the North East in the upcoming years plus Foxwoods is a stand alone casino establishment. Not like a Caesars or MGM where they have a network of casinos all over the country and the world.
When MA and NY fully have their casinos running your black listing of Foxwoods is not going to mean much.
Quote: DMSCRI was playing bac and these four dudes came over to start trouble in hoping to steal my chips. Really?!?!?! First time ever at a casino. Dealers and supervisors immediately had to contact security. Five casino employees (three dealers and two supervisors) in total. Not one but five! Don't know if you ever ventured there but there is a lot of security at that casino. The officers have to walk in pairs.
Sands, PA has great playing conditions but I don't feel safe there.
I've never felt that way at Sands. I've felt that way at Caesar's AC a couple times, and at Resorts, but never at Sands Bethlehem.
Quote: kewljYou sure about this, Mosca? I know that several Pa casinos have petitioned the state to allow the casino to set blackjack rules. Admittedly, I don't follow Pa too closely these days. Did the state definitively rule on this? And if so, I don't think that is any guarantee that they still won't buckle in the future, as pressure mounts.
There are no guarantees, but the last time they petitioned (about 6 months ago) it went nowhere. With the speed at which such things go through the PA legislature, I felt confident when I posted that.

Speaking of principle, I get a curious question for you Ace. Why have you played in casinos which are all lack of integrity? Casinos do more than just playing the game of bait and switch. They have ruined people lives! Watch this lawyer's video before you reply:

And this is part of the reason why the casino's are in trouble! For so many years they could treat people any way they liked, and the poor saps would just keep coming back, because there was little other choice. Either quit gambling, or put up with the treatment. Now the tides have turned. The players have a choice, but the casinos keep pulling the same crap they were before. And then they say, "Big deal, one $200 avg bettor lost isn't going to make a bit of difference to our bottom line."
Of course, once you have pissed off a few hundred of them, it starts adding up.
People who are running casinos and can't make ends meet should be removed from the gene pool. They have a virtual license to print money for crying out loud.

The video gave me a good laugh, especially
when I read the 'rest of the story'. She was
eventually disbarred and sentenced to 3 to
9 years in the slammer for stealing money
from her clients and presenting false evidence
in court. The casino lawsuit was of course
thrown out because it was worthless.

Added later:
"She would play seven hands of blackjack at a time so she could have the entire table to herself, losing $5,000 per hour, according to the suit filed in U.S. District Court in New Jersey."
What they leave out is at that level of play,
she would also have winning days and probably
weeks. She makes out in the lawsuit like all
she did was lose and the casino did nothing
to stop it. The judge knew better and threw
the suit out.
