Re: Harrahs AC
you are not really surprised, are you?
I tend to agree. I'm not in a position to question casinos, but I feel the same suspicions toward this site. I don't believe FOR A MINUTE, that these games are random. I am currently and hopefully in a loooong stretch of good luck on this site...But it seems very obvious to me that certain players are "hotter" at times than others and I do not believe this is circumstantial...just sayin....

Harrah's has nice girls and is clean and safe. But your money may not be.

Some more observations from yesterday. The regulars in my VP area were not doing much either. The slot attendants were not running around doing hand pays like usual. QQs for me were few and far between, along with bricking the dealt 3oak also any QQ like 10-10-5-5, 6-6-3-3, were all bricked I don't have a count on how many of those were bricked. The one positive note was my 15 Royal, holding 2 cards to get in sight of breaking even but I would still need binoculars.

The one positive note was my 15 Royal, holding 2 cards to get in sight of breaking even but I would still need binoculars.Jeter and I have talked quite a bit about the fact that CET properties are on a server based system. Anyone who has ever worked with such a system for their job (like I have, not as a programmer but as a END-USER & Manager) Knows the dynamic functionality and ability that such systems with global controls offer the end user, whatever the business.Before I continue, let me AGAIN remind everyone the actual state of casino oversight and regulation in AC/New Jersey.......it is obviously thin, sporadic, sketchy.....etc etc.....take your pick on adjectives that denote dubiousness. Therefore, the likelihood of the NJ Gaming Commish actually "observing and noticing" any of the CET properties manipulating their server based settings is slim, and EVEN if they did notice during some 'random check' (assuming they still even perform those in NJ) they likelihood of there being some sort of consequence or action to CET on the part of the Casino Gaming commish (beyond a POSSIBLE on-the-spot "Hey you need to adjust your settings" admonishment) is even more slim. Therefore, having seen, heard, witnessed and played/experienced things at Harrahs (and Caesars and Ballys), I honestly believe the server based system of the CET AC properties is utilized to periodically "adjust" the games property wide, whether it be to tighten them up as Jeter obviously experienced last night, OR to loosen them up as sometimes happens whereby it seems EVERYONE is suddenly catching a lot of quads and other great hands. This is an easily achieved event with a server based system that oversees and manages games property wide.This is MY OPINION based on all the factors and input mentioned above and before.The bottom line, it is still gambling, in so much as a player is essentially taking a chance within a chance that when they choose to play at Harrahs, it could be a system-wide LOOSE day, a TIGHT DAY, or a NORMAL DAY. And I believe this principle and concept that I just described is WHY it would even be allowed or tolerated in AC/New Jersey.

Very interesting thoughts, DB. Your theory sure explains why I can't hit water if I fell out of a boat some days. And other days, every machine I touch is quad heaven. Normal days I don't retain because of their very normalcy. Since I want to keep my battering day risk down, should I simply abandon CET for Borgata? I hit RFs at two of the three CETs. Bucket list checked. Would love to cash in Marina style after last year's one coin Borgata RF.

I see this situation all the time at Mohegan Sun. Unfortunately, the hit window is tiny and the dud window is huge. I am almost tempted to sit at a machine and nurse it and a drink until I start hearing and seeing the sounds, lights, and bells of the hits. That could take 8 hours or more however.

You might have a point there. My shoe came off the other day leaving me with just the one. The clocks are already stopped. Oh that is right, there are none in the casino. I would really miss the sun though even though I have already paid the price with 5 bouts of the big c from it. Have to be careful nowdays out there in the beautiful sunshine. On my way soon for my scouting mission at Foxwoods with the Mrs. Someone at Mohegan cancelled their room last minute and I grabbed it for tonight. Mohegan had been sold out for weeks for this weekend. Wish us luck.....Just playing with pennies for now at Foxwoods till we get a feel for the place.

No clocks to encourage my departure, I'm afraid. And willpower all too easily dissipates within those walls. And here's another thing. Someone with your medical history should avoid all things Sun or even solar just off principle, if not out of caution. What the Dickens!

Decisions, decisions, decisions,....so easy to make sometimes and equally so easy to be wrong especially in vp and we usually know what the outcome will be ahead of time. I really need an out of the blue Royal similar to the one you had recently.
