Default Advantage Players take $500K from Caesars Indiana

Not all Advantage Players are card counters! They're just people who find a way to legally take advantage of a casino.

Default Time for a vacation?

"The machine had a switch set in a position for use in the Philippines instead of the United States, and it instructed the machine to multiply credits by 10, the report said."

While not on this same scale,I once had a slot attendent,accompanied by a security guard,fill a nickel slot I was waiting to get paid off on with quarters instead of nickles.They were quite thankful when I pointed out the error,and a slot supervisor comped me to lunch for both my honesty,and the extended wait to get paid.
What sucks about the story above is I've been buying stock in Harrahs,so its my money those low-lifes abscounded with.

If you go to the Phillipinnes the 10X payout wont be of value I dont think. I'm not sure, but I think the reason the machine multiplies by 10 is because their money is worth less. I have no idea, but this is my guess.

Default Ahhhh... That makes sense

Shad! No WONDER you seem so defensive of casino practices for gouging out the players at times! You own and buy stock in Harrah's, the worst of the bunch even! Shad, I don't play much at Harrah's casinos but when I have, I have whacked them, bringing your Harrah's stock down... just so you know.
