Bob,
I just finished reading the article and I just do not understand the
comment that the "good play- or mistake" whichever you want to call
it would have disappeared shortly anyway, so you did not burn it
out. I disagree with you on this.
I know of several good plays; I know people that know about these
plays as well. Some I told and some just found them by themselves.
The plays have been around for a long time. I suspect it is because
1) none of us play it at a level that would draw attention to it 2)
None of us play it to the point where we just hog it and not allow
anyone else to play it. Some of these plays have been around for at
least a year and are played alot and has been border-lined to
getting attention from the casino; but so far they are still there.
I think all of us that know about it are keeping under the "radar"
so as to keep it available for as long as we can. You might say we
are working together so all benefit; instead of just one.
Now, having said all that; my question to you is - was it worth it?
Why would you risk telling this story? Surely someone at the Palms
is going to read about this and maybe it would affect your status
there including being excluded from some promtions, having either
reduced or no-bounce back checks in the upcoming months?

There is a big difference between letting a small stakes machine (say
one for $1 or less) and a higher stakes machines (say one for $5 or
higher), and the level of players who play them. This was a machine in
the High Limit room at a casino with a decent amount of high limit play
--- where $10 and $25 players play a lot. There are 10 or more players
who regularly play $5 Five Play in this room when the incentive is
there. The level of players during the "Days that Pay" and marathon
promotions at the Palms is generally quite high --- including certain
members of vpFREE. One never knows for sure "what would happen if . . .
" but my judgement was as I called it in the article.
Insofar as being restricted by the Palms, that is certainly something I
would not appreciate. The Palms knows EXACTLY who I am (I did teach
classes there for a short while and at the Fiesta when it was managed by
George Maloof for 4 years.) They also know I've written numerous things
about the casino that brings in business (the biggest, I suppose, was my
second novel, "More Sex, Lies, and Video Poker.") I didn't judge the
risks were significantly higher because of this machine. Again, one
never knows for sure until after it's too late.

I will remember this line from Bob's article for a long time:
"There will be players....who will accuse me of burning the play.
I suppose I did. But given my strong belief that it would be gone
shortly anyway whether I played heavily or not, I don't feel my
actions were wrong in any sense."
Any of us can use the same rationale, if we're ever accused of
being a burnout artist (or, whatever it's called).
