I'd love to see pigs fly too. If anything, perhaps the Commission may have fined them -- it won't benefit us, but hopefully it will make the casino think twice about making "loose" interpretations of the mandatory rules. But seriously, I think we should be content that we got them to correct...

I think they probably owe me several hundred $$, but there is no way I can prove it. That's OK. I'm getting tremendous satisfaction from the fact that, presumably, they had to cave into the pressure we created by registering complaints with the gaming commission. (I also had a decent profit...

Thanks. I wish I could see the looks on the faces of the pit boss and the shift manager who insisted to me that (1) offering surrender is at the casino's discretion and (2) Mt Airy was not offering it because it is "not in the players' interest." Frankly, though, it's amazing how few...

That's great news! Thanks for letting us know. I just hope they keep other aspects of their game as it was. May I ask where you get your information?

If you ask the cashier to issue you a check, do they need anything other than a payee's name?

As I sit here contemplating a potential ramp-up in my BJ playing in many potential geographic areas, dealing with large amounts of cash is one of the things I find most perplexing and unnerving. It's not so much the security guys at the airport. What I am actually more concerned with is two...

I've considered the idea of using a local branch of my bank (BoA) for large cash deposits (and withdrawals?) before/after playing at a casino, but I keep wondering at what point the Patriot Act comes into play and whether it obligates the bank to report cash transactions beyond a certain size...
