Cheap System Strikes Again

[QUOTE=FloridaPhil] Phone cameras are cool.  You never used to see these pictures because cameras were banned.   I haven't had anyone tell me not to take a picture yet.  Of couse I haven't tried to take a picture of Obama sitting at a Wheel of Fortune... 

They're still frowned upon, but with the smartphone era, it's pretty stupid to spend real effort enforcing it, especially those snapping pictures of slot or video poker wins. If those get posted on the internet, then it's free advertisement for the casino anyway.[/QUOTE]

Two years ago Isle Lake Charles frowned upon camera use for pictures. They'd take one with their camera for big hits and email it to you. Needless to say in today's time its almost impossible to prevent. I admit taking many sneaky photos. After a visit to Isle Biloxi, where we were free to take pictures, I talked to the Director of Slots Lake Charles. I shared the pictures of hand pays at his sister casino. It probably didn't hurt when we had him pull up videopoker.com to see the pictures posted there as well. We also talked about the positive PR for the casino. Since then I've never had a problem using my phone to snap shots. Even had a slot attendant ask if I wanted my picture using my phone on a recent hand pay.

I did have one suit come up a few weeks ago at another casino when I was taking shots of the games on an All Star VP machine at the bar. From his actions, I assume the bar tender made a security call or a camera caught me as I was writing down pay tables from several games. But, the young suit never said anything and just stood off a few feet behind me while I finished taking my shots of the games and writing down the pay tables. When I finished he headed off. Had he asked I would have explained my actions, since I want to learn to play the different games available on AS VP but nothing was said.

I did get busted a few months back and was ask to delete the pic by security. Thing was the first one was blurry so I took another just before he walked up. Only deleted the bad one in front of him! lol

Well played. With this awesome phone camera I have, I have to keep it pretty steady to have it come out clear.

Actually, I've had such good luck with my one coin system that I've started to play more one coin dollars. I had to increase my session bankroll from $250 to $400 and stomach a few $400 negative days, but I'm way ahead. A single coin $1 quad deuce pays $200 and a Royal pays $250, which isn't a bad thing.  I would much rather have a chance at a $1000 quad deuce than waiting 45,000 hands (maybe) for a $1,000 Royal while betting $1.25 a hand. I have tremedous confidence is the deuces version of this strategy.   It just works for me.  Anyway, I'm having fun and that's the point.
