Sometimes time can be your friend

CET cans it with 99% plus. Not that I really give a damn either way.

Not true. And you should.

[FAA]

Okay, severely curtailed. 1TC/$50 will not keep me in casino, losing away the session, on the weekly.

[TripleTriple]

There are 1TC/$10 options, and boatloads of 1TC/$20.

Well, the session didn’t work out, but unfortunately that is the nature of Vp. I did try the Spin Poker Joker Kings, single line Deuces Wild, and even DDS. When you don’t even hit the medium size hands, you have no chance. At least I stuck to quarters, though the last 300 bucks bet were at max 25. Next trip depending on Covid updates is scheduled for this Thursday with the Mrs, but we are back to everything riding on Covid updates. Ct has gone back over 3 percent postive. One thing I like that Mohegan did..... They used to play the last few years that stupid canned music.....another jackpot winner every half hour or so which aggrevated people no end especially if you were losing. They were inundated With complaint letters including a few from myself. I was pleased to see that they replaced it with a friendly reminder that there is no smoking in the casino played every half hour or so. That is good news because I have had a couple of run-ins already in the last month and had to get Security involved. I could have handled it myself but then I would be banned. Would have loved to have handled it though. If I say anything which I always do if someone is smoking, I am always ultra polite at first, but then if they are nasty right back that’s when I wish I could handle it myself. Sometimes it takes awhile for security to come and by then the smoker has wandered away with the cigarette still burning. Even one gives me an instant headache. Especially since they have been smoke free since reopening after Covid. There was one incident I wish I had a recording of. A couple of months ago a smoker pretty good size guy too about 35 years old was chain-smoking in the immediate area where I and other people were playing. I very politely said excuse me there is no smoking anywhere in this casino except outside. He took kind of an aggressive stance and proceeded to go into A nasty diatribe. I stood my ground not backing away 1 inch and this is the great part. Out of the blue, three really good size other patrons that were playing got up from their machines and came up and stood next to me and stared down the smoker. He proceeded to put it out on the carpet and walk away swearing under his breath but it was great.
PS.....As the Mrs. constantly reminds me, hee hee, if she is there.....what makes you think you are still the toughest, but also nicest kid on the block?!!!... Leave everything up to the security people.

Your three assistants should have escorted him to the security and submitted him for vandalism (of the carpeting) for putting out an unauthorized use of cigarettes, which could, in certain no-smoking areas, be considered a fire hazard. I was once arrested for smoking in a theatre for that offense when my buddy and I were the only ones in the movie theatre! It's a great story with a better lead up and better ending. Scottie!!

My kids worn me not to confront folks, or honk at them on the freeway, here in AZ for fear I may be shot. I agree its not worth the risk given the number of lunatics out there so I would definitely get security involved.

[olds442jetaway]

Agree, we are so used to handling things ourselves, its hard to change, but they are right

[Tablet22331]

Absolutely. It has never been easier for a nutcase to get hold of a weapon. Road rage, disrespecting someone, the list goes on and on. There is no sense and no victory in escalating a conflict. It will not end well.

[FAA]

More people are absolute powder kegs these days. As great as it would feel to escalate, I’d come to regret it.

[olds442jetaway]

Have to agree. Wish I didn’t have to
