4a. Have I caught a cheater???
Date: Thu Jul 17, 2008 8:49 am ((PDT))I've played next to this lady 3 times in the last week. I talked to
her a little session 1 & I'm not sure she's not short a coupla cards
of a full deck. She's done this all 3 times, but session 2 I was
next to her for about 2 1/2 hours. When she sat down, she has a
bundle of bills in her hand. She inserts a 20 and then continually
cashes out then rite back in. She does this for some time &
eventually plays some, & then back to Ticket out/ticket in. I try
not to pay too much attention to those around me as I don't want my
concentration broke but you gotta notice this. I know twice I've
noticed she had around 300 credits and I don't think has put much in
machine, but she cudda got 4OK. On all 3 sessions she's run the
paper out & at least twice has jammed machines again shortly after
paper replacement.I don't know what she's doing, but I wonder if the machines will make
a mistake eventually & give her more credits??? I've been tempted
to ask, but I don't think I want to talk to her no mo. I notice her
husband playing & he's not doing that.I've been tempted to say something to casino personnel, but I make
$$$ at these machines & don't want to draw attention to myself any
moree than I already do playing ALOT at this bank.What harm is she doing??? Well she's holding up a machine when
sometimes it's hard to get an open machine. She's running the
machine out of paper and I'm not so sure she's not doing something
illegal. I can't believe casino people haven't noticed...I think
I've seen her before & apparently this is SOP.What wud U do???
I'd play somewhere else if it was that distracting.
Maybe she thinks cashing tickets is the object of the game.
Maybe someone told her she could get comps if she plays long enough, and she doesn't understand what "play" means.
Maybe she needs to get a life, if this is her life right now.
Who knows - the behavior of the irrational can't be rationally explained.
