Your story sounds all so familiar. I was you in all the details until I
found out about the Church of Bob Dancer. It's in a store front in the back
of
the shopping center on the north east corner of Tropicana and Pecos. Don't
be
dismayed by the run down neighborhood and the dismal surroundings like the
empty nearby stores the wig shops and bars. Reverend Bob has promised to
build a
great cathedral rivaling the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove California
or
at least to rival the Guardian Angel Cathedral just off the strip in the
shadow of the WYNN and sometimes in the shadow of LOU'S, a Chairman Babe
Resort.What takes place at COBD? Reverend Bob's stirring sermons make our losing
streaks vanish. We lose the bondage of imperfect play. Our hearts and minds
become like Reverend Bob.As you all know Reverend Bob is in intensive gym training so during the
sermons he takes off his shirt to show off his muscles and tattoos. His
tattoos
look blurry and drab until he flexes his hulk like mucles. Then Reverend Bobturns a little green as his mighty chest displays the words, "ROYAL FLUSH
NO
DEUCES" and on his back the word "SHIRLEY" appears. She's the lady near
the
front door standing by the Bob Dancer products table. We are so inspired we
break out into a doxology of sorts, "Praaaaise Bob from whom all blessings
flooooow..." Then the choir sings the IGT Jackpot song.This weeks guest minister is JT. You may have wondered where he's been.
Well, he's just returned from intensive study in India. He's mastered the
"Way of
The Royal Flush" JT also sports a new title, Professor JT Swami
Prabhavananda
Hughes. His triumphal return to Vegas is featured in an in depth article in
the September issue of _http://vpplayer.com/_ (http://vpplayer.com/)How much does all this cost you ask? We have an offering and Reverend Bob
takes the proceeds and tells us to pray for Royals while he runs down to theHorseshoe to double it on the craps tables. Sometimes he doesn't come back
at
all and we begin to imagine Reverend Bob on a cross with nails in his hands.

Your Google search of the Church of Bob Dancer (COBD) might just come up
futile, but don't dispare another fully developed website will get you to a corner
of the Trop and Pecos. The northwest corner of this intersection has its own
older more established shrine. Visit this website for directions and related
inspiration:
In this holy shrine the master of envisionment is named Gottlieb, not IGT.
Of course the followers of both lines of faith have the same main disciples
named Bally and Williams.
Here, you will fully understand the origins of phrases like "on tilt", "main
drain", "coin-dropper" and "free-play".
What is most interesting is the apparent disguised link between the two
destinations of worship. Look at the bottom of the homepage. Sure enough, the
site is sponsered by LED Gaming, who brought us the likes of Cash King Checkers
and Multi-Strike VP.
So please support these two unique shrines of worship.
