no eye in the sky?
sunday night at caesar's i was upstairs playing all star poker when an older man pushing his wife in a wheelchair takes the seat at the opposite end,(it's only a bank of 3).after about 10 minutes i catch a glimpse of him standing up and suddenly he punches the screen with 2 fists.about 5 minutes later i hear him cursing and he gets up again and spit all over the screen and left.i called a slot attendant over and told him what happened and they called someone to disinfect the machine but where were the crew with eye in the sky that are supposed to be watching everything that goes on?that guy should have been escorted out of the casino after the punches.i never saw security looking for him so i assume he got away with it.

Cameras record everything to be used later, not every inch of the casino is being monitored every moment. The attendant could have called security, which then could go back and see the incident. Then, if they wanted, they could track the man down if needed.

well since this is AC (and in particular, a CET property), you can rest assured the security is both understaffed, and the ones that are working are stiffs and blobs who couldn't chase down even the old lady in the wheelchair......I'm not joking. You are not safe in AC casinos like you are in Nevada establishments, not even close.

Ever had someone near you get angry when you hit something good? I just try to ignore them but it is unnerving. They have no idea how much you put in to get that hit any way.

People have been arrested and paid restitution for breaking machines. I wouldn't have even called the attendant, unnerving as it is. Accustomed to people overreacting and losing their minds in casinos, sad as that may be.

Another glowing testimony of Atlantic City. Please note that it is merely the poster's opinion that security is: "both understaffed and the ones that are working are stiffs and blobs."

Other than that slobbering, disturbing moment, Doris; I hope you had a nice time.

Several years ago a player at Ak-Chin, put his fist through the glass of an IGT VP machine. Cost him $17K and a permanent ban from Harrah's. Oh ya, two dozen stitches.

Short fuses and casinos are a lethal combination.
