G2E coming up

Would anyone pay $299 to go to the G2E ? I have been lucky , in the past, having attended about a dozen shows without ever paying.I had a friend who was a slot manager and he used to give me a pass I would attend the first two days play as much as poss then recommend my favorite games to him and he would check them out .Unfortunately for him I have a pretty minority, or advanced, taste so would recommend games like,Big E poker, Big Split Poker and 3 Way action over Hangover/Monopoly slots.

Anyway, my friend has retired so I am considering registering although the companies hardly give away much these days, a bottle water here a key chain there maybe a Starbucks coffee.

Maybe I should just go on the final day and try and pick up a pass from the trash!

Passes are given out like candy. No one should ever pay for a pass. AHigh (NanoTech Gaming) was giving out a bunch of passes. But the date may have passed.



The trash thing ... not a bad idea.

SLS Naive

The SLS sent out postcards to come and pick up a powerball ticket. On arrival there was a sign saying "Due to no fault of SLS the promotion has been cancelled." Really? Nobody in marketing bothered to check that even giving away powerball tickets in Nevada is against the law.

I wonder how much they spent in powerball tickets before figuring out they couldn't give 'em away.

lol! How is that not SLS's fault?!? They announced a promotion without first checking with legal, then had to cancel when their hare-brained idea was discovered to be illegal...

I'm thinking that handing out hookers and blow = free nightclub admission. no?
