Oh, Lord. Here we go again.
Charles said, "....the Wynn Bonus Bingo game is not a conventional
bingo game. Thus, the term 'bingo' is misleading, and whether you
like it or not, it's a fraud."
So, is it just Wynn's Bingo Bonus that is misleading and fraudulent?
Or, are ALL of the other slot machines misleading and fraudulent,
if they use a game is not "conventionally" played out?
Jeeze, Charles, do you really think that the results from the dice being
tossed in the Monopoly slots are really random? Just like the symbols
on the slot reels, they are simply a representation of a pre-determined
win or loss.
Do you really think you have a 1-in-22 chance (or, whatever it is) to
win the 1,000 coin bonus on Wheel of Fortune bonus wheel?
Do you really think that the "Megabucks" symbols appear lined up
in the same frequency that they would if the slot machine were a
'conventional' slot machine?
I'm sure that there are plenty of other examples of 'conventional' games
being used by casinos, but not played out exactly the same way they
are in their 'conventional' form.
Wynn's Bonus Bingo is not fraud. What appears on the bingo
screens is only a representation of a pre-determined win or loss,
just like the symbols on the slot machine reels.

Well Curtis, you throw around the term idiot with ease, but again,
the facts are that the Wynn Bonus Bingo game is not a conventional

in no way is is a randowm draw of 20 numbers from an 80 number
universe.
As far as the Nevada Gaming Commission, they allow just about
everything. Laundered money; rigged contests; all receive a slap on
the wrist. If you, or anyone else, can quote a NGC revocation of
license, then you get a free bingo card at Red Rock.
