Quote: AxelWolfI have no doubt Ahigh normally conducts himself properly. And for now, everyone in on their best behavior. I'm just wondering if Ahigh sometimes gets to comfortable at casinos and starts pushing lines. I'm not saying he does this, he acted properly the few times I watched him. However, roomers have it, he can get a little difficult. Eventually someone is going to have a bad day.
can you comment....
What is your casinos over all thoughts on DI?
And AP's? (not cheats)
Will you 1 or welcome both like Fiesta did at one point?
We are not concerned about DI in the least.
As for AP's, the casino is actively going after all AP's with a special team both on the floor and via other means.
We however pride ourselves in customer service and A high is welcome to play for as long as he pleases. If he has an issue at some point we will attempt to sort it out amicably and on such a way where both parties are happy and can continue to enjoy each others company.

I was looking at all the info I could find about SLS online (their website, vpfree2...). It looks like they have some good VP games, but crappy freeplay on those games (that is one thing I like about MGM -- you get full freeplay on full-pay machines). Still, with NSUD at high denoms, it still looks like it's worth playing.
But... also, no card tiers? Really? That is horrible. Perks like skipping the line for the cab or cafe make all the difference in the world.

Maybe S means service like they say and you won't have artificially created lines and intentionally short staffs. Half the casinos have done this and I miss just standing around responding to "next" and not being stuck in the senior day parade. Now some casinos have handicapped lines like they should have from the beginning to get around their bs and lies with your own bs and lies.Quote: AxiomOfChoiceI was looking at all the info I could find about SLS online (their website, vpfree2...).

I was aware of this before. Not much to AP in SLS. It's a fun place to drink and GAMBLE for fun.Quote: AxiomOfChoiceBetter watch out, Axel!
Sorry to say but, a team to catch AP's is a wast of time and money. AP's usually get the money before anyone notices. Even casinos who hire the "best of the best consultants" get hit all the time. (It may have happened already, from someone with a big bells on)
A reputation for NOT letting people play smart and win is bad.
If Locals and poppies hear stuff like this, they will avoid gambling in a place known to go after legitimate APs. It seems that quite a few local players and ploppy's think they are a good gambler of some kind. I have heard comments from complete ploppys like, "Don't play at X casino, that place does not like winners, If you start to win they will toss you out."
A place that's AP friendly is way more valuable then chasing them off.
People buy books, read blogs (queen of comps, best sellers list). People want to play in a place were they have the best chance to win and not get hassled.
Normal players might go in with the Idea of playing smart because of good odd and a good reputation but, they rarely do.
If players think they have no chance to win and will get run off, why go there to gamble in the first place?
A good reputation, of good odds and being friendly to APs is FAR, FAR more valuable.
The casino is going to be dealing with millions of people losing their asses. To be worried about a few AP's making some profit seems ridiculous (going after cheaters is a different story).
I'm not saying the casino should put in $100 FPDW and give 10x points, then invite Don Johnson to play BJ with a 20% loss rebate, or to let AP's ransack the place. You just don't need a team of people for that. There should be a happy medium.

AP's, casual gamblers, and casino staff all agree to stamp out CHEATERS. Let's focus on getting rid of them, not the APs.
This is like the whole mantra of kicking out a card counter by low pen, bad rules, and immense heat at the cost of 3 or 4 horrible blackjack players. Unless the counter is extremely well-funded, I don't see the harm in letting them play.
I disagree with Axel put in $100 FPDW and give me 10x points, as well as 20% on all my losses. I'll bring every $100 laying around my house, I'll even rob 6 banks for $32k and screw filling out CTRs.

Poker is AP for many players. Casinos don't mistreat poker players who win. They don't have skin in that game.
It's possible for more than 50% of the players on a game to be AP if there is enough money coming from the non-AP players to spread around.
It's always about the bottom line. Casinos often forget they are in the business of putting smiles on people's faces.
Winning in part due to diligence in play is a pretty good way to get your players to smile.

Quote: AxelWolfAnd some do just that. Some also make over 100k per year tinkering around on the "small stuff." You only know about things you read on the internet. I'm sure Mickey can clue you in a bit.
Well, yeah, I live in a state where the max bet is $2 and the max jackpot is $800. And I don't get a lot of those $800 jackpots. And I'm not playing a whole lot at the $2 level. I have a lot of different plays that involve video poker, video keno, and line games. The jackpots I play for are mostly much smaller than that. I'll just do a typical scenario, a $180 jackpot on a five-spot keno progressive.
The bet is 50 cents. The meter starts at $100 and runs 4%. The 3 out of 5 pays 5, and the 4 out of 5 pays 32. I won't do all the math here but the average cost to produce the solid five, rounded off, is $150. So I find a lot of plays around $180, some a little less, some a little more. So its a $30 earn plus, with a 4% meter I'm expected to put $31 in the meter per play. That's a $61 earn.
On turbo speed the game plays at 40 games per minute, which means average seat time is about 40 minutes. That $61 earn per 40 minutes equates to the seat time on these plays being worth over $90 an hour on a $1200 an hour wager.
Once I snap the meter off on that particular machine I might not get another play on it for months. So its not like I'm whacking the hell out of any one casino, taking up to much seat time so they don't get at the ploppies. I don't have one single play these days where the seat time is more than an hour.
You don't have to have massive bankroll and play high denom. You just have to have the right opportunities. The rest of it is how many plays can you get in a year?

It's always a fine line between playing something that requires a ton of bankroll, and finding very big edges on small denominations. 0.17% on $1 10/7 db is pretty damn small but available everywhere, up to $1. I'm sure the bankroll requires probably at least 8-10 royals, and you won't make much.
On the flip side you can make 0.76% on FPDW on quarters. Both probably equal to about the same hourly, because of the edges involved per 5 credit bet.
I don't like anything under 3%, and this is based on returns not tied up in longshots (reversible royals, any high keno hits, high progressives). Freerolling royals would be pretty damn sweet (4oak promos, multiplier days, cash for volume) since you can play realistically a long time until you start to go bust. I also prefer guaranteed money, or at least a bet where I'm likely to win a small amount most % of the time, but it has to be worth my time (playing $5 matchplays around town is probably +EV, but is it worth your time and sanity?). These days my mailers and match/freebets have already been mapped out for optimum use of time.
Snapping off low progressives on slots can cost you as well, unless you like playing minbets about x1000 to reduce variance.

I really, really, really hate waiting in line. If one place makes me wait in line and one place does not, I will play at the place that does not. The casino should hate their big players waiting in line too. That is valuable gambling time being wasted! They are simultaneously costing themselves money and pissing off their best customers.
If I know that I will have to wait half an hour for a cab to leave a place, I will just not go. It's that simple. I don't care as much about buffet/cafe lines, since I don't eat there (and I suspect, neither do most people who qualify for the higher tiers). But unless you are comping me a limo, you had better let me skip that taxi line, or I won't be back.
One thing that MGM casinos are missing is a priority line at the cage. They have it at the players' club desk (at least, at some properties), but not at that cage. I have been known to hang on to chips and cash them in high limit slots or the high limit room the next time I am there. They treat you a lot better there anyway, since at the main cage they grill you about having outstanding markers, whereas in high limit they just don't care.
At the cage:
<hand them a $1000 chip>
"Do you have any outstanding markers"
"Yes, but only for $5k, and I don't leave for a few days, and my credit limit is several times that"
"I can't cash this for you if you have outstanding markers"
"It's only $1000. I want to play some machines. Just give me cash"
"I have to call your host to verify"
"For $1000??? Seriously?"
"Yes"
At high limit slots:
"Can you cash this for me?"
"Sure"

I went there today for the first time. Signed up for a card, which was fairly quick. I did my free digital spin and won $6. If only I'd spun one notch harder, I'd have gotten $500!
I liked the place, but I'm pessimistic about it. It was pretty dead for a place that just opened. This was Wednesday at about noon, but even so. I considered trying UTH, but kept walking, though the dealer beckoned me, because there was nobody else on the table to vulture. I didn't see anyone playing big on any tables, though I could easily have missed it.
I walked everything. The pool was nice, not spectacular. The SLS has an LA feel, in that it's hip and kind of... I'm trying to think of a more neutral word for vulgar. For example, they have a big photo display and it's a bunch of glamour shots of rock stars and actors. It's hard to imagine a more boring subject for me, but that's just me. I like when the other ritzy places mix in some legit art, or at least something interesting or pretty. Flowers, exotic birds, Popeye.
Now, I know there are people who consider places like the Aria or Wynn to be vulgar too, but I think there's some undeniable beauty to be found in those places. The SLS is more about being clever and contemporary. That's fine with me. Not my prefered cup of tea, but I can still enjoy it.
There was a lot of thought in everything. The dealer's uniforms, which were different in the high limit section. All the little slogans and jokes. Incredible investments of time and mental energy and creative juice. Lots of little touches, like cucumber and lemon water dispensed at the pool. It would be sad if the place didn't at least have a good run. Maybe it's a nighttime joint.
You can sort of tell that it's all grafted on to the skeleton of a lesser facility. It was hard to pinpoint, but one example is that the bathrooms are the old double hinged doors, as opposed to the walk-in style you'd find elsewhere on the strip.
The burger place sounds good, but was almost empty. The breakfast place was crowded and looked pretty good. I had intended to eat there, but I saw the size of the portions and decided to wait until I was much hungrier. Is it really weird to take left over pancakes home in a doggy bag? They looked tasty enough to warrant it and I'd rarely be able to finish them.

Incredible investments of time and mental energy and creative juice. Lots of little touches, like cucumber and lemon water dispensed at the pool. It would be sad if the place didn't at least have a good run. Maybe it's a nighttime joint.
You can sort of tell that it's all grafted on to the skeleton of a lesser facility. It was hard to pinpoint, but one example is that the bathrooms are the old double hinged doors, as opposed to the walk-in style you'd find elsewhere on the strip.
The burger place sounds good, but was almost empty. The breakfast place was crowded and looked pretty good. I had intended to eat there, but I saw the size of the portions and decided to wait until I was much hungrier. Is it really weird to take left over pancakes home in a doggy bag? They looked tasty enough to warrant it and I'd rarely be able to finish them.

Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it
Sparkles yet

This room looks VERY small to me. The mirror is designed to make it look bigger. Room size is probably one of those things that is a result of 'redoing' a place on an existing skeleton, rather than building from scratch.
As for the room design....that's just gross. Who puts a sofa/couch at the foot of a bed like that?

I've always thought an "old Vegas" theme would be a cool one for a hotel.

They could start by going after locals. Not getting any offers for months after you play isn't a good way to do things.
Perhaps that's changed?
