AC Pics (I hope)

[DaBurglar]

Thank you all for your thoughtful and encouraging replies......it is nice to have positive results to report, even if I was still DOWN overall for the entire trip per se (about $600 down which, when you consider the bigger picture is NOT a lot of money!    I played for over 6 days with a brief 48 hour interlude to return home and back again,  and also during this entire time I played QUITE a lot of LIVE poker, both tournaments and cash game play.)

I guess no response to JT? Odd.....

alas it was followed by a ICE ICE COLD sustained drought throughout the
day and evening of Wednesday July 27 which put me back into negative
territory.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SeaLion, it just wasn't meant to be! We just can't unplug. Any four figure hit, personally I am done for the day. In his case, the next and last day too. Golden Nugget pool deck, here I come. Without player card, ATM cards or cash.

I guess no response to JT? Odd.....Un-flippin-real......I was in the midst of constructing a response when I took a brief break, saved my work.........AND then I returned and see this turd floating in the midst of an otherwise pleasant sea of posts thus far......Ted do you even CARE that you continue to sink lower and lower in people's eyes with posts like this, and your incessant attempts to try and get the best of me, for absolutely NO other purpose than you own sick sense of pride and self image????  DO YOU?!?!?I'm now going to reply to JT in private and answer his question/observation as best I can, and if he then chooses to share it with YOU or anyone else he can do so.....In the meantime is it possible for you to even remotely STOP this pointless, unwarranted, senseless, idiotic harrassment/stalking/hostility on your part towards me???    Just answer that question.......CAN you find something else to focus upon and  occupy your thoughts with ON THIS FORUM besides ME, and your sense of hatred and resentment that harbor against me???    Do not even TRY to deny them.....just answer the question

Nice run of wins. Glad to see the crooked , rigged machines are turning in your favor.yeah well thanks for that.......compliment........ "Mr. seemore", lol.  Anyone call you  "SEYMOUR" here on the forum????     Obviously I was pleased with the good hits, but remember this if you can (and you too JT, since I guess I might as well direct this reply to you as well since you raised the same issue/question):I was there for a total of almost 7 days  (July 20 thru July 28, with a break in between on july23/24)   I played a LOT of Video poker, more than I orignally planned to, and I also played a lot of LIVE poker too.     With respect to the Video Poker portion, I finished in the RED for the entire "Trip/Outing", down around 600 bucks, give or take at Video Poker only.   As I previously stated, when I think of the comps I earned and how much actual play I was able to squeeze in (or out) of my money  my end result (-600) is actually not all that poor given the length of my stay.     But is is not great either, and during my entire "trip"  I had MANY MANY sessions and stretches and spells where I was indeed "Clobbered" with nothing but duds and zeros......I can unequivocally state that I played some machines and some games that I know....I KNOW are NOT set up to  dispense typical (or statistically "normal") video poker results over time, that instead they are programmed by the casino to yield significantly LOWER return/payout % than what their paytables indicate.And as I have gone to great pains before to explain, this does NOT mean that the games in AC are "rigged" in the strictest most literal sense of the word.......what I am saying is that Many VP games/Machines in AC are set to yield results (or "return %") that are NOT what we experienced VP players ASSUME or Expect them to yield based on the displayed or advertised Paytables.     The reasons for this phenomenon, and HOW it is allowed to persist or even EXIST in AC, are the real mystery and I have several theories in this area that I have broached in the past (as have others);Some final points to remember:1)  Even so called "rigged" machines will yield Large premium hits (including royals) from time to time......and there will be times when such machines go on seemingly "hott" runs.     In short, if Video Poker in AC is in fact regarded, and administered, as simply another form of SLOTS (as I am certain it is), that means it is acceptable for AC casinos to payout "only" a return % in the 88-90% range (give or take) on MANY of its video poker games which currently have paytables that indicate return percentages in the expected 96-99% range.  2)   Casino "OVERSIGHT" in AC is clearly, at the current  moment  very shallow and spotty at best, in the current economic & political situation/environment.   This is Obvious to, or for, any player who wishes to investigate or look into this matter.     Hence the circumstances currently exist for casinos to potentially "get away" with certain things or types of behavior that previously they NEVER ever could have in the past (or would have ATTEMPTED)......in fact, it might even NOT be a situation of them "getting away with anything" but in fact, be totally ACCEPTABLE for the casinos to operate their VP in the manner indicated. 3)  I will gladly meet up with ANY player in AC (ANY PLAYER), and personally take them to any one of numerous machines I know to be "suspect",  in several casinos (the TAJ, Resorts, Golden Nugget and even one of the CET properties) and demonstrate what I mean or am talking about.   Along the way I will gladly treat them to food and beverage!

Nice hits spread across multiple games. Thanks for sharing! I've enjoyed the report you've provided.

Likewise as others have said, it is good to hear that better fortune is on your side.

Why is it though that a player would not cry "rigged machines" when they are hitting in that player's favor?

Why is it though that a player would not cry "rigged machines" when they are hitting in that player's favor?***REPEAT***Some final points to remember:1)  Even so called "rigged"
machines will yield Large premium hits (including royals) from time to
time......and there will be times when such machines go on seemingly
"hott" runs.     In short, if Video Poker in AC is in fact regarded, and
administered, as simply another form of SLOTS (as I am certain it is),
that means it is acceptable for AC casinos to payout "only" a return %
in the 88-90% range (give or take) on MANY of its video poker games
which currently have paytables that indicate return percentages in the
expected 96-99% range.  2)   Casino "OVERSIGHT" in AC is
clearly, at the current  moment  very shallow and spotty at best, in the
current economic & political situation/environment.   This is
Obvious to, or for, any player who wishes to investigate or look into
this matter.     Hence the circumstances currently exist for casinos to
potentially "get away" with certain things or types of behavior that
previously they NEVER ever could have in the past (or would have
ATTEMPTED)......in fact, it might even NOT be a situation of them
"getting away with anything" but in fact, be totally ACCEPTABLE for the
casinos to operate their VP in the manner indicated. 3)  I will
gladly meet up with ANY player in AC (ANY PLAYER), and personally take
them to any one of numerous machines I know to be "suspect",  in several

My question remains - unanswered.
