I have never liked drawings (maybe because I never really got lucky with
them) and I consider myself quite ethical. I was amused about the critique
regarding Mr. Dancer's interface with the casino employees for more tickets.
My slant on this comes from over-enthusiastic employees who, many times, have
dropped a whole packet of tickets into my tray when I qualified for one (1)
ticket. Although completely unsolicitied, these employees are "pumping up"
some of the regulars hoping to get a "share" of the big prize if the player
hits.
In one instance at the Orleans a few years back, I had decided NOT to wait
for the drawing tickets and yet ended up with two packets at the end of the
first day. This almost forced me to participate in the drawings but many
times, I just give them away or they end up on my desk not filled out. One
change person was giving out so many packets that you needed at least that to
"catch up" with the players already there. I think that only the electronic
drawings are legit because I've seen too many extra tickets given out .
I did not report or make a scene at the time for I feared the employees would
be fired which is a serious consequence to their "soft hustle" . These type
of promos seem to have ways of increasing your chances. In another instance
where you had to go to the slot desk to get your tickets (i.e. 25c RF ) and
the slot employee gives you the number as if you hit a $1 RF which was 4 x
...an accident? or overesight? Looking to hustle or a toke?? Could be.
