Slice it and dice it any way you want. The bottom line is that casinos are in business to make money, not give it away. It is very true that there are selected days and selected promotions that can be profitable to a customer, but this does not change the basic business model of a casino, which is to offer attractive and addictive fun and games that over the long haul will result in a profit to the casino. Of course short term motivational wins for customers are a very critical part of that business model. Long term motivational wins....nope, sorry.
I agree with everything here, but it could have been written in 1970...things of course have changed

Yeah, intermittent rewards reinforcement psychology, causing a positive and euphoric brain response, is as old as the hills. It’s even part of dog training. Another reason to limit play. How much hounding must we tolerate?

Hey Pavlov-
Spot me a Benji and princess and I will motor over to my favorite place and see how lucky I can get. If I do, I might get kings and be a sterling champ too-the gods willing. I will hit the buttons rabidly and tag me man's best friend- a straight flush- one better than a K-9, I hope.

Too busy hitting max quad Aces at the Borgata to see the reply. With a RF, I’ll quit the betting and devote time to kennel petting! They need some human connection. I need to taper casino trips. It’s a win-win.

Ammendment: With a hand pay RF. I hit the Promised Hand. Unfortunately, not at the Hand Pay level. I reckon it's a Borgata fifty cent denom grind from here on out. :lol:

Don't complain about not hitting a hand pay. Depending upon the amount, taxes may very well eat up the extra $$$. Besides which, I would assume you would give the person giving you the hand pay a toke. :)

True, taxes would soak much of an extra thousand. I would request a check, evading awkward tip issue and ludicrous currency charade. Simplicity is so elegant.

Whether they brought cash or a check, someone processed the hand pay. Sorry, I believe in tipping them. Just my personal preference.

I tipped ten bucks to the attendant who brought me my check on this baby hand pay...

The good news is the losing streak was broken; the bad news is it was a win of hundreds not tens of thousands.

That is a generous tip in my opinion . Remember , GOD will not be out done in generosity !!
