In case you missed it: SaraTG put herself on a casino self-exclusion list 12 years ago. I personally don't think that a gambling self-exclusion list is something to joke about and I am hopeful that SaraTG has found a necessary balance and I wish her well.

Just as a follow up to this. I excluded myself from this and a few other casinos and eventually started sneaking back into some of them. Since I was excluded I would avoid hands when I could possibly hit a handpay and never played the more volatile games like Triple Double Bonus where the chances or a handpay are greatly increased. During that period I hit 5 handpay amounts and got lucky and found people to claim 4 of them for me in exchange for some $. But I was also caught twice during that period. Once because I couldn't anyone to claim the jackpot in time and I took a chance and the other when I tried to get a cash advance. The one time they just confiscated my jackpot ($2500) and escorted me off the property. The other time I was actually arrested and had to go to court etc.

Holy hell. That is my worst living nightmare. I don’t know how half of us are still sane after all these damn hands and sessions blurring together.
