Bad casino giveaways?
Thanks.
You missed out on some kick ass cookies, by the way.

Thanks.
Quote: RSWas testing out the longhorn, I thought might have good mail but I had no info on it. I figured they'd have small promos and easy to win drawings. Anyway, if you hit for $500 or more you'd get a 12 pack of Pepsi, a pack of cookies, and some other such nonsense. So, I played $2 10 credit bonus poker (5-K 4oak pays $500 even). Ended up hitting a RF for $16k, took probably 45 minutes to hour to get paid (99.58% sure they had to go to the bank to get money). Slot manager I think was the first to arrive for my jackpot, first thing I asked about the cookies & Pepsi, and he looked at me like, "f*** you, you just made us negative for the year and you still want the damn pepsi and cookies?!" I never got the cookies or Pepsi. :(
Are you telling me that insane 16k royal was all about cookies and Pepsi? Good grief. Come out here and I'll swap you the 16k for a truck full of both. I'd even bake the cookies, and I'm real good at it.
LMAO...
I wonder if the casinos think diabetics are easy marks?Quote: billryanYou are probably the reason they only offer one type of artificial sugar these days, as well.

The casinos think everyone is an easy mark.Quote: sammydvI wonder if the casinos think diabetics are easy marks?
I don't blame them for not giving you cookies and pepsi... several pitbosses and floor personnel had to hock their watches to get you that payout.

I wish I had read this yesterday because last night I was out having drinks with the Longhorn General Manager. I would have mediated this for you and at least got you a free fountain soda at the Chuckwagon restaurant.

C'mon Babs, you know how these AP's are. Jackpots are just expected statistical probabilities, cookies and Pepsi are +EV.

Finally, someone who gets it.
1.) WoN requested that I mediate the matter between the two of them.
2.) Nathan accepted me as Mediator.
3.) WoN proposed a resolution that I then transmitted to Nathan.
4.) Nathan accepted the proposed resolution.
5.) The proposed resolution has been carried out to the apparent satisfaction of both parties.
The matter of the gift card is resolved and closed.
This thread will remain open for the purposes of discussing the original subject matter of the thread.

Great. Thanks, Mission.
There is no reason to keep it confidential given the sordid history involved in this petty little drama, and knowledge of the agreement may clarify certain credibility issues.
Quote: MrVC'mon Mission, don't leave us hanging: what was the resolution?

Sealed record, Counsel.
I'm not going to Mediate something that I say I am going to keep private and then not do that, and I expect the parties involved to keep it private, as well. I stated in this thread, on at least two occasions, that if anyone wanted me to Mediate that I would be handling any Mediation privately and keeping the result private:
Quote:The matter is between Nathan and WoN and would be better discussed via PM, with Mediation by either myself, BBB or Face if there is agreement by the parties.
Quote:Not even that, actually, the mediation should be private, at this point, with only a result of, 'Resolved,' or 'Unresolved,' to be announced in this thread.
Quote:I want an agreement to be reached as to the gift card and I want us to move on (as a Forum) from this subject matter and to something that could possibly be mistaken for being gambling-related. It should be negotiated in private because it is now Nathan and WoN's business and any potential Mediator.
I'm also citing Forum Rules 4 & 14 in saying that neither WoN nor Nathan have the right to disclose any information contained in my PM's to either of them on this matter, and that they may only disclose any PM's between each other prior to my Mediation if there is agreement among the two parties, which I would also need to see, via a separate PM from each of them.
We tried to handle this publicly and it was inefficient, ineffective and detracted from the purpose of this Forum. I Mediated the matter and a resolution was found and completed in a fashion that was efficient, effective and in a manner that did not detract from the purpose of this Forum.
Quote: WizardofnothingThat would prolly be enough for the end of things for him
Depending on the content, it would be enough to, 'End things,' for almost anyone. Of course, given that I have now specifically said, 'Do not discuss the PM's,' that WOULD end things for absolutely anyone.
Shoot. Was just trying to trick you into answering.Quote: WizardofnothingI have a lot of different gift cards- prolly 30-40 Macy left- If you want something pm me
Nathan, how many $50 Macy's gift cards to you have?
The subject matter of this thread is, "Bad Casino Giveaways."
For more information on Macy's Gift Cards, please visit:

Or, to purchase them from a different outlet, use the PM feature or perform a Google search.
SOMETHING FISHY IS GOING ON WITH THIS.
Why is this particular thread being so watched and moderated?
The big problem that we were having in this thread is that we got to the point that a very reasonable argument could be made that Nathan was getting Trolled, so I was going to put that to an end. I don't care what a person does, we're not going to have it get to the point where someone has it demanded of them to post up a picture of themselves to prove themselves worthy to post on the board, or anything even close to that.
Nathan can post on the board because Nathan has only ever had a one week ban and there is no proof that Nathan has ever been any other member.
In terms of a fair deal, a fair deal is any deal that is accepted. The only thing I will say for anyone who is worried that there was not a fair deal is that WoN made one offer that I presented to Nathan and that offer was accepted.
Quote: NathanAbout only one box having the giftcard and me not knowing it at the time, I chased the giftcard. I ran out of money chasing what I thought was a guaranteed $100 Macy's gift card. I had refused to use my ATM card to continue to chase the "guaranteed" Macy's gift card and went home. If I spent my $500 coin in and went to claim it and was told that I won a candle, I would have been livid .

Quote: BTLWIOh Jesus Christ the 12-pack of Pepsi giveaway is here for September. $500 coin in per 12-pack, max 2 per day on Wed and Thurs. At least the August promo was worth about $1200.
Yeah, the $5 Pepsi for $500 coin in IS a really bad giveaway, I agree with you there.
(That was a joke, and thread bumping is allowed with one)
So the joke is on everyone else now...
In comparison, my father, who showed up, got a card, didn't play, is at 5/5/5/5/5.
It's almost worth digging through my trunk for the flyer now. -_-
The icing is I also won free entry into a 100k bj tournament which will take place on a future cruise. That cruise is not comped and also departs from the East coast.

I am far from PC at times, but could you please explain why this problem would only impact caucasians?
In this case, "Somebody's complaining about getting a free cruise?"

Im white but my ex is black and my kids are mixed. Most of my friends are black (my family makes snide remarks about that)
Most of my friends would not have any chance at cruises and only dream about them
My family also points out every trip to disney we make something to the effect of where are all the black people
So maybe thats what it means
