Reporting False Crap for the Database/"AA" Style in Laughlin

When the first post was made I
assumed that this was just sloppy reporting. However when the reporting of
paytables change continued I determined that there was at least a chance of
malicious intent by the posters.

MIA reports that I receive privately are normally reported immediately
to the appropriate group. I usually accept them at face value, even though
I often suspect that they could be inaccurate. Subsequent confirmations
or corrections are depended on to keep things accurate.

The AA MIA report came from a Laughlin member (unknown to me)
who had posted a couple of times since joining the group several months
ago (also a member of vpFREE for about a year).

I am not a conspiracy theorist.... however the value of doing one's own
scouting is now underscored. And we have lurkers(?) who are doing
intentional mischief such as reporting comments made on these groups to
casino management.

Hmm.

I don't understand "intentional mischief" but it's obvious that
internet video poker groups are probably monitored by casino
management - which can be advantageous as well as negative.
I think all/most casinos are aware of the ER on vp games that
they offer.

Here's another example of inaccurate reporting. At the RP .05 NSUD still
exists on the 20 line spinpoker contrary to the reports of its demise.
Perhaps (didn't check all three) not on every machine but at least on one.

Thanks for the report. I've just put (1) 5c NSUD back in the DataBase.

The NSUD MIA report (Message #1282) came from a very reliable
member. Perhaps they went MIA and returned, or all 3 machines
weren't checked.

FYI. My comments were not directed at any specific individual. I do not know any of the people in question. Also to clarify all the "lost machines" posts and my "malicious intent comments" did not necessarily mean THIS group was/is/will be the location of that inaccurate information.

And in no way do/did or will my comments be directed against the administrator of this group. Frankly I am amazed that you have been able to keep even a semblance of accuracy on the database. I think you do a superb job based on the reports provided to you.

I privately (to you?... not sure considering the anonymity now) reported a specific incident of a lurker who is using information gathered from this and other VP group boards to provide casino management with details that they likely did not know. This activity goes far beyond the awareness of the ER of VP games. I assume casino management knows that as well.
