Casino scam/ progressive roulette

If there is a point to this reply, I'm unable to find it. Next time you reply why don't you just re-quote everything I've already said?

Why are you defending the casinos?

I am not defending the casinos. I wouldn't recommend that anyone anywhere waste their money at a casino. I don't believe that any of them play fair, just as YOU did not. (This discussion is about you and your experience.) They're all set up to take your money. That's their business...to win. Otherwise they wouldn't still be in existence. Right?

Once again you've only illustrated how you've missed the point entirely. If you will review this discussion you will notice that the topic of this discussion is a casino scam, not me. Your personal attacks have nothing to do with the discussion. I was trying to warn people not to gamble in the casinos because they run scams. I am trying to help people avoid the anguish that I experienced because of the con men working at these casinos.

Your comments are regarding someone you know nothing about, (me) during an incident you neither witnessed nor know anything about, playing a game you apparently know nothing about, in a casino you know nothing about.

I suppose you will respond that you know all about these great games now and that they are perfectly fair, despite the fact that you just got through expressing your distaste for gambling and casinos. I'm assuming that you don't gamble considering your obvious distaste for it.

Your response is typical of a person who realizes they have no valid point and are losing a debate. Personal attacks are the last resort of the overmatched. Does it make you feel good to look through postings and just take random pot shots at the people who are trying to post things that might help out others? Or are you reaping some benefits from the tourist industry in general? Either way, I feel sorry for you.

Before I start, let me say that I'm not one to easily be cheated. I'm a smart guy with guts of steel. But this game was smooth.

From the moment I walked in the door, they schmoozed me with bells and sirens and the clinging of falling coins representing winnings. Shiny chrome everywhere, scantily clad cocktail waitresses with breasts practically falling out, and then the free drinks.

What really got me was the shiny arm on this machine. They said all I had to do was put in a quarter, pull the arm, and I could win a jack pot of money if 7-7-7 came up. So there I went, and before you knew it, they had SCAMMED me out of my entire roll of quarters!

I talked to several other people that also lost their money the same way. Apparently, it happens to a lot of people. I just want to warn everybody not to play this game. It's called "slok mateen" or "slop masheek" or something like that.

The casinos that have these machines don't care about you. They are only after your money and they don't care what they have to do to lure you in and scam you.

Good one Jim,

Hey, you don't happen to have a vested interest in the Dominican Republic and tourism do you. I'm just asking because I've noticed that you reply to all sorts of postings and it's always defending all inclusives and casinos and the like. It's not hard to find postings by Jim Hinsch on this message board and many others. Look for yourself. Oh yey, and I don't suppose you are connected to this BocaChicaBeach.net site or anything. It just happens to appear on all of your postings. I suppose it's just such a great site that you highly recommend it. I suppose it doesn't have anything to do with your computer consulting company.

You're too predictable Jim. If any of your postings had actual content they might be interesting instead of being pitches for business. Do you think people are that stupid, I mean other than me in a casino?
