Not unbelievable, sad to say

As someone who promotes tournaments, which adds to the casino bottom line even if they do not make a dime on the tournament because you help them get people in the door, one would expect VIP treatment and not an 86.
It would have been very interesting if a representative of their gaming board had been called in. In the past I was invited to a tournament a few months after being 86d from a casino and decided to go just to see what would happen. I had back up plans for a room somewhere else, but showed up and before the tournament I was approached by an assistant casino manager and two security types while I was at a VP machine (I was not going to play blackjack also). I handed the suite a photocopy of the invitation and made the stupid comment that I thought this was the casinos way of saying they were sorry for tossing me on my last vist. He took the invite and left me with security only to return a few minutes later when he said I was welcome to play in the tournament, use the facilities, play machines but was not permitted to play any table games (I did not ask if that included the big wheel). So my 86 turned into a back off for the stay. Three days after I left I received a certified letter again 86ing me and no future mailings. I also did not cash at the tournament.
The other thing that might have struck your mind is that if you waited a while before putting up a fight with the morons, you might have a seat waiting for you on the final table in their next tournament.
