Love what he said about it. Finally, a guy that tells it like it is..."I make no claims about winning (net amount) or having a profit. This is
just recreation. Some people spend $25,000 for golf memberships, or
spend $250 for a round of golf, or like to travel around the world. I
like to go to Vegas."

The quote echoes what you, me and others have been saying regarding VP as entertainment that we spend money on to enjoy.

Seeking one for 4% of his amount, also at Caesars. A bit different results in AC.

I've seen one hit in Tunica at Harrahs a few years back. The lady that hit the royal was the only one I had ever seen play at the $25 level for extended periods and she was there pretty often. I've seen people take pot shots at the $25 level but she would play for hours. I was told she had lost $64K the night before playing the same machine.

I saw a guy playing at that level several years ago at the Bonanza. (local casino in NW Reno.) He caught a quad for 6k something and got a couple other handpays if I remember correctly. Not sure how much he spent to get those hits but I'm sure it was way above my usual bankroll.

Like with most large hits, they are pricey indeed. At any level, you're just hoping to break even on the year after a RF.

I'll bet this guy gets some pretty nice comps! At that level, I'd want a date with Britney Spears...

$64k sounds like a lot (and it is), but then again not really, when you realize it's the same unit-wise as losing $640 on a 25c machine, which you can easily do, especially on a game like DDB or TDB.

The employee who told you that should be fired.
