Ditto. Would be easy to recognize Ll’s cutout. It would have a big pic of a Royal on the front. Great going Wildman. Hopefully it is catchy for the rest of us

Wildman 49,
Congratulations, dealt ones are always memorable. You give renew my hope.

Olds,
No, cut out for me. The players parents were assigned to our seats. But, I like that RF idea. I just have to figure out how to put a gray beard on it.

Casino Marketing Side Story: Since the University doesn't provide us with any travel or supply money, (thanks State of Texas for cutting university budgets after you cut taxes for our businesses) I provide my own office supplies including pens and paper. I frequently use my GNLC freebie room pens. After I first started using them, they would disappear almost weekly as someone would forget to give it back after signing paperwork. Then, I started constantly getting requests from my students and the teachers and for one of my "Golden Nugget Lake Charles" pens. Who would have thought! The students want them because they are my "official black ink signing pen" and the teachers want them for personal use. Not only was there a free pen in the room each trip but the GNLC buffet always had a big can of pens for signing tickets and I would always ask the cashier for a couple of extras. It got to the point the girls would see us come up and reach over and give me a few or reach back into the supply box and give me 6-8. I'd still run low on pens. So I approached the Manager of the GNLC buffet and told her my situation. We had become friends with her over the many times we ate there. She laughed and gave me a handful. At the end of one semester all of my students said they wanted one as a graduation gift. Once again I told the manager. She obliged by giving me a whole box. I hand wrapped one for each of my graduating student teachers. Thereafter, every semester she would give me a whole box of GNLC pens for the semester. We laughed that it was the cheapest marketing trick she had ever heard. She said at 7¢/pen I could get a box whenever I wanted one. Ironically, we found that the wait staff at the Salt Grass restaurants at GNLC (next to the buffet) weren't given any pens for their orders so she gave them a box to distribute. Now that COVID has closed down the buffet, I am guarding them with my life. I may have to approach GNLC marketing for next semester.

WTG Wildman. I have never had a dealt RF and am convinced I won't get another in the casino. Every time I go now it seems as if I get 4 to the RF 2 or 3 times per 600 hands on a re-deal.

LL: That is a great inexpensive advertising tool for the casino. Definitely check with the marketing
department. Hopefully they have someone there who will recognize the value of your graduation gifts.
