Indiana woman claims Blue Chip Casino owes her $28MReply
I DISAGREE 100 PERCENT!!! Goudie asks: Do you think you actually deserve the 28 million? They're always taking my money and I don't say: 'Umm is that computer wrong or did you overcharge me?' So I mean, yes, to answer your question, said Carmin. This is classic entitlement attitude. Let us see here: the casinos are in the business to take people's money. No one forces anyone to walk into a casino and spend a single red cent. The wager per game is clearly stated, and you have the opti

Should Private Sectors Be Allowed To Compete With The Lotteries?Reply
There just opened by my house a little shop with online, slot type games. They have a promotion to start spend $20 get $5 free! Sounds like a steal. I went in to the store to check if they had a lotto machine, or even quick draw.

Wonder about the computer picked numbersReply

Its never to hard to find a contractor for government affiliated work. Another example is s

Next person in LineReply
Hi justxploring, I used to think I'd be upset. But you know, I probably won't now-because I truly think, if (when) its YOUR time, it will be, nomatter what. The only time I may think otherwise is if I play the same numbers ALL the time, (which I do) and the one day i don't, those numbers hit the jackpot. I'm not sure how i'd react but I try look at it the same way I do the slots. You have to be there at the exact second (or a portion thereof) that this other person played. Let's say you di

Who is mightier, the one-armed bandits or the cellphone bandits?
~With Compliments Eddessa_Knight with Lucky Light ~ If you see a guy wandering the aisles of South Florida s casinos, pointing his cellphone at the slot machines, don t bother offering to help him snap a selfie. Rather than a hopelessly inept tourist, he s more likely a cheater, using his phone to exploit a security gap that, by some estimates, has cost American casinos millions of dollars in slot-machine losses. The scheme to rip off the slot machines was devised by everybody
