Re Bob Dancer & NGC

[tedchee]

Was talking to a casino exec about Dancer's book "Million Dollar Video Poker"
& somehow we got on the scams/advantage plays he discusses in the book. One
incident in the book was when he tipped the help extra & received scratchers
worth much more than the tip. (Also he got free/extra scratchers when he
didn't have the requisite 4 of a kind. We discussed how this was not kosher
as the employee was hurting the casino & the extra tickets to Dancer was an
unfair advantage that was hurting the players-to-come.

Then she brought up the point, "Couldn't something like this be brought to
the NGC?"

I don't know but it seems like the NGC could investigate both counts: bribery
(maybe too strong) of an employee & taking unfair unadvantage of other
players (probably weak but say you care about us, NGC).

As for the incident described in the book, believe it was a 4 Queens
promotion before the 1st bankruptcy or in between the 1st & 2nd about 5 - 6
years ago. So guessing that BD has already checked the statute of limitations
or maybe that's why he didn't name the casino as he did almost everywhere
else in the book.

While I agree with the theory that he was wrong, what would be the
point of going to NGC over something that happend 5,6,7 years ago? I
don't remember reading that he actually ever asked for scratchers
that he should not get (perhaps I missed that) - I think he found a
situation that he took advantage of. A little charm, a little larger
tip than normal. I have read alot of people voice their theories
and thoughts and outrage about this and it makes me wonder if there
might be a bit of jealousy that he got away with it. Again I don't
think it is right and if I saw it happening today I probably would
bring it to the attention of the casino execs but that is me.
