I never paid an entry fee other than the one I pay when I step into the casino.

TL is a winner from Jump Street. The exception proves the rule. Casinos aren’t running these shows for kicks.
BTW, I regret giving this money pit even an hour’s play after swearing them off. Lucky to escape with BR intact.

I was right. There's an implicit entry fee for the entrants, who I have in my estimation fairly labeled as suckers.
Yes, I agree :up: .

What a stretch. Invites are not sent out to just "losers."
A very common format here in the Wild West is explicit play requirement. Maybe it's 100 points to earn your first session, and you can earn additionals to a maximum of 5 or 10. You can't pay your way in, you can only play in.

In this case, clearly some players will win on their qualifying casino action. But the casino is rewarding them for their theoretical loss. They gave the casino an opportunity to take their money.

You are absolutely right, I offer you a blanket pardon for all you have posted and for any post you make, ever, from this point forward.

Someone did win big recently at Last Resorts. Full pay JOB, and this high roller was fully paid. Just when I was writing them off too.

I'd be so embarrassed at that machine. I don't need a billboard above me advertising that I play "Jacks or Better."

You’re birds of a feather. He would only play JOB at gun point. Unless this was in the middle of the night, the swarm of suits around the machine would draw players like moths to a flame anyway.

I love JOB, but that's my little secret.

The cool people play TDB.

Or that joker wild game that pays 4000 coins for a quinton.
