Distraught after another poor trip and running out of time to salvage 2023.

Huh? M and I have been beating up on online sports promos in Illinois to the tune of low 5 digits the past few years. Can't do any of that in B&M sportsbooks.

Sorry, that was a bad combination of ignorance and sloppy writing. I don't know much about B&M sportsbook conditions outside Nevada. In theory it's possible the B&Ms could offer better lines or promos than online, but you're indicating they don't do so in actual practice. Therefore, you can get all your sports edge online, and never need to go into a B&M for sports. Did I get that right?

Nevada's different. We don't have the easy promo opportunities in our mobile apps.

Yeah Nevada is different unfortunately. They either don't allow good promos through the app or don't by choice.

Most other legal sportsbetting states outside of Nevada has had pretty good promotional opportunities when using the online apps the past few years.

In my area their is one Ceasars Racino and no video poker and one PENN casino with maybe 50 machines. They didn't seem to be that busy Thurs at 8:00 pm but the tables were packed.

I hit a hand pay and proceeded to wait and wait for the attendant. When he arrived, it was a guy I have gotten to know fairly well over the years. I asked him why it took so long and he told me that in years past there was always an attendant patrolling in or near the VP area. No more. He said players and hand pays have become so infrequent in the VP area that an attendant has to be notified from area of the casino when a hand pay is hit.

There's no hovering at AC CETs. But attendants are always hovering at Resorts HL room. So intrusive and creepy. It creates false expectations and an overall bad vibe. Nobody ever hits anything there to begin with. Last trip, a miraculous $1,300 hit, which saved player a whole five minutes of waiting. Not that it mattered. An hour later, she was still boozing it up and betting on it as I hit for $400 and ran like hell.
