Harrahs AC

[jetermacaw]

On my weekly trip to AC I thought i would share my experiences with everyone. First my day was uneventful. My favorite QQ machine was occupied so I venture to my second choice, Super Triple Play. It has been my experience that these machine hit right away or they are dead, and when they are dead they are not coming back to life. I always start 10 play bonus 5c. Hit 4oak on second hand. move to 10 hand DB, hit 4 aces on about 10th hand. move to 10 hand DDB and catch 4 aces with kicker. move to my QQ machine which is now free. Play about 8hrs lose $150. That's it for me now the fun starts. Watch a gentleman load $4000 into the 100 play QQ machine next to me and he starts playing 100 hand @ .10c TDB, well 10 minutes later he left with nothing, Yikes! Went ot dinner and on my way back to I cruise through Diamond Cove and hear a blood curdling scream as some maniac playing two $100 slot machines at the same time hits for $16,000, wow. Two security guys and I guess a suit were watching him, but as long as he was feeding those hundreds back into the machines they didn't care how crazy he was. As I was leaving saw a sweet young thing taking a pic of her $1 machine, RF, she held Ace, Ten on JOB. Back to my machine. A nice older gentleman with slight accent sits next to me and starts playing 100 hand DDB QQ for .1c He starts saying son of a b*tch not again I give you $1000 if you let me use your card. HuH? He catches 4 aces with kicker on the draw for $2000. He says its his 3rd hand pay of the day and he has IRS trouble and again says he will give me $1000 if I let him use my card. Well his card was already in the machine and you know the rest. He shows me the other 2 W2s, one for $2400 and one for $2600, says he can't lose. I went to bed.

I have won more playing $100 slots than any other game I have ever played. I don't play it often just every now and then and when I do its always just 1 pull. I have played it maybe a total of 25-30 times. And won $16K, $8K x2 and $4K 2x. Mostly I just get 3 mixed bars for $500 and cash out. And then go loose it playing VP.

Awesome story jeter!  thanks for relating that.......now THIS is the kind of stuff that is fun to read and can spark interesting threads and conversation!First off, obviously the maniac who plopped 4 grand into the 100 line QQ machine and chose 10 cent TDB is one UNLUCKY SOB!   OR......there is something really really rotten going on now in the CET AC properties, far worse than was previously happening......the current state of things with CET has me vowing to NEVER put another dime into a CET machine in AC for a long time, other than free play obviously......But back to the 4k loser.....he would be pulling 60 bucks a hand playing 10 cent 100 line QQ.....given how long it usually takes to play a typical hand, and given he was busted in 10 minutes, he must have literally caught next to nothing on the vast majority of his hands!!!!   Horrible.......Regarding the maniac who hit for 16K on 100 dollar slot in the cove:   I hope the guards did not beat him up in the parking garage;   Harrahs guards are almost like a cross between a street gang and the private defense contractors the pentagon utilized in the Iraq "war" during 2005-2008 .....they scare the crap out of me and I would hate to have to depend on them, or deal with them in any way shape or form.Regarding the IRS slacker:   I think everyone has, at some point, been asked to either lend someone their card for something similar to what this guy wanted (or, sometimes, I have encountered a randomly nice, generous person who offers to play their money in a machine using my card in the slot so as to give me the play credits.....this has happened to me twice in my life, and both times it was a person who was both semi-drunk and quite old, who either did not have a card or forgot theirs.....just being NICE with no strings attached.)           And of course the other scenario, whereby someone asks you to allow them to stick THEIR card in the slot and have YOU play your money so as to give them the credit for play/points etc;   The  obvious reasons for this include a person is a couple points shy of some goal or milestone but who is tapped out and wants you to help them........I have, on several occassions "helped" such an individual who seemed worthy and not too obnoxious in their "request"....but I have turned down far far more than I have complied with.....

I am not sure what this person would hope to achieve. Any $1200 win would still require his SSN and ID, regardless of what players card was in the machine.
It may, of course, make him look like a bigger loser on any casino W/L report if he had someone's card in the machine. But if that was his only goal, just leave his OWN card out when he played.

  MPD I think the 'PLAYER A" would make such a request to "Player B" and if "Player A" hit a handpay they would claim it was hit by "Player B" and after getting paid "Player B" would give the handpay cash back to "Player A." Minus the $1,000.00 gratuity. Where "Player B" could screw up is that they see the $1,000.00 they got paid but they would be required to report the entire handpay amount on their taxes. "Player A" would not.

Great stories! Plus you lost less per hour on VP than DB. Nice entertainment bang for the $150 donation earlier!

Funny, DB. I never had any of those requests. I think you have to have a certain look about you to be approached on that weird stuff. On the other hand, I did get a scam busted up once. Jerk preying on the elderly. Think I posted about that a long time age. Closest I came to strange requests was a few young ladies over the years asking either for bus fare, or to take them somewhere close by, or for a ride home etc. Of couse, we know what those requests were about. and luckily I have a great Mrs. at home. I think they were quite surprised I said no thank you.

I ask them if they pay Taxes and they melt into the woodwork.

Ahh - I see. Geez, I hope I would be asked to be 'Player B' someday. When I get the handpay, I would take my card from his machine and say to 'Player A' "Who are you ?" as I exit the casino.
