1. If only a "few" players are responsible, and they are acting unethically (not sure if that is true in this case), then don't we have a situation where "trespassing" player(s) may be a reasonable reaction by the casino (while of course keeping the games in mention)....Wouldn't that keep the bulk of video poker players happy? Or would we all do the same thing if we had enough time and/or knowledge?
2. If these players are "substance abusers," you have to give them credit for being able to (presumably) being able to play optimally, don't you? (I know another post mentioned this, not this one specifically).
3. And is it ethical to "shut down" a machine to go to dinner, etc.? My feeling is that it is not legitimate, and I'm surprised that casinos allow it, given that A. they are losing potential income on the machines in question, B. Potentially upsetting other customers, C. encouraging "advantage players" that maybe they don't want to encourage....
4. If MSS had a problem with these particular players (and I'm not sure they did), a reasonable response short of "trespassing" them would have been to not shut down these machines at their beck and call, but to let others play them in the absence of the "problem" players.

-------------- Original message --------------
The problem arose becuase of a number of indivduals who tried to
monopolise the three FPDW machines. They would come in play only the
FPDW machines for many hours on end. A situation observed by myself
several times. Add the comps and scratch cards offered by MSS and no
wonder they were lossing on these machines. The reduction to NSUD
came as a reaction to this by the casino. Do not blame the casino
for this just a few indivuals are responsible, and they know who they
are. Eventually I feel we are going to lose all FPDW becasue of
these actions by a few greedy players. Remember casinos are not
stupid and if I can see it so can they.
