AC Pics (I hope)

OK, back to VP. Was at the Borgata yesterday for a 3hr session. Starrted on .50 Super double bonus and didn't hit a quad for approx 2&1/2 hrs. Down $600, wondering why I put myself thru this. Switch to Bonus Deuces Wild and start to hold my own. Have 15 minutes left and I am dealt 3 ducks 3 times within a span of maybe 10 hands. Connect on nothing, just 4oak's. WTF is going on. Hold 3 to a royal in heearts, press draw and the music starts.Couldn't have been more shocked. Now down less than 1K for the year after a good July and start to August. CC

JT: I will give you my perception on what goes on at Harrahs AC. I'm a weekly visitor I have been witness to some interesting experiences. I do not think the games are "rigged", I would say that they are some how controlled. This statement intrigues me. The machines are not rigged, but "somehow controlled"? If "somehow controlled" isn't rigging, how would you define rigging?

That
is why when I go if I'm up and things are looking good I stop. When I'm
see I'm losing I stop because it doesn't turn around. I return the next
week and hope the needle is pointed to the right a little.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Absolutely. You have great willpower. Most people simply capitulate and become passive pawns of the casino. At best take five or six spins at an adjacent machine if you're up and on the way out!

Borgata yesterday for a 3hr session. Starrted on .50 Super double bonus
and didn't hit a quad for 2.5 hrs. Down $600. Switch to Bonus Deuces Wild, hold
my own. 15 minutes left and dealt 3 ducks 3 times within a
span of maybe 10 hands. Connect on nothing, just 4oaks. Hold 3 to a royal in hearts, draw and the music
starts.Couldn't have been more shocked. Now down less than 1K for the
year after a good July and start to August.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Congratulations. Sounds like a $2,000 hand pay. Lightning for Olds and now you. I must have a great day soon. Always shocked to hit a RF by definition a longshot. This was particularly out of the blue, since 83% of the session was a disaster. Somehow you had the presence of mind to switch games! Belatedly, granted, but perfect timing for you.

<munching popcorn>I get a kick that I strike so many nerves......given that the last three times I have been to AC I have had just about the best success of my 7 years in AC, this would actually be the BEST time to forget video poker and maybe AC altogether......with the Taj closing, the only casinos left are not exactly my favorites and almost half of them are CET properties.....I just love how batturd crazy some people get when you EVEN suggest that Casinos might not be 100% honest......its laughable given that just about EVERYSINGLE other human industry and endeavor and area of concern has been (or still is) influenced by, or the victim of CORRUPTION and other crimes.But not casinos huh?    Just NO WAY POSSIBLE, we all would certainly have heard about it huh?   Forget the fact that even a small scandal would greatly affect such a business and therefore the motivation for secrecy and coverup is probably GREATEST in this industry than any other......You can cherry pick all the things I have posted and said since 2011, go ahead......I find it a hoot that I can motivate and inspire such emotional lunacy.But in my gut I KNOW that things in AC casinos are NOT on the same level or terms of integrity as Las Vegas or Reno or most other places with still competent, functional economies and oversight......and no nitpicking, ranting, stalking troll is going to tell me otherwise (of course, why would he want to anyway?)

One: I would say it this way, rigged would mean you have no chance of winning, controlled would be the amount that is won. Trust me this is just my theory with no way to prove anything, take for example they are monitoring the total handle of the day and if a certain number is obtained they can adjust the total % of winnings. Say 83% to 88%, this has nothing to do with pay schedules or variance. lol I said just my theory based on my observations.

And of course the popcorn you're munching on was popped with the hot air coming out of your mouth.

That's pretty funny actually.....when you finally remove your own gargantuan foot from your mouth, you'll be able to enjoy it as well.....
