O.K. Official Introduction:

43 years young Oaklander (SINGLE, never married, NO kids or baggage - well, I do have a parrot, and that's similar to a great marriage). More a player than a chipper (the thrill of playing the chips is a bit stronger than keeping them - but I look, and take souvenirs when I win). My true obsession, is Bally Electro-Mechanical Slots (pre-computer, pre-random number generator, back when where the reels actually stopped decided if you won or lost), from mid 60's to early 70's. I also have a weak spot for vintage Vegas postcards - I'll have some to unload soon.

What do I play?

CRAPS, Blackjack, Video Poker, Slots (sparingly). I do not play poker, as the goal is to take money from individuals – I prefer taking money from a Casino! In a similar vein, I don’t let people gamble on my slot machines – they play with my change, and it stays; I don’t want guests feeling bad because they lost money (and I don’t want to feel bad if they win a jackpot!).

Where do I play?

TAHOE: Harvey's-Harrah's, sometimes Caesar's Palace, sometimes Bill's, mostly Harvey's, though. I'll be at Harvey's for the Fri-Sat of Labor Day Weekend: $20 BJ Tourney, Cabo Wabo, X!)

Vegas: LUXOR, Mandalay Bay, Bellagio (latest visit, MAN, a rich person is poor there... Incredible pool, top-notch customer service, Hotel Guests get treated like ROYALTY)

Job: Currently in a stressful medical career, actually looking for totally new career path. I have tons of high-powered sales experience, and have considered slot or chip sales! Willing to relocate to Reno/Tahoe or Vegas - any contacts related to employment in slot or chip sales, or even slot/Casino management (via email, please) would be MUCH appreciated - If you open a door for me, I won't make you look bad, and you won't regret the favor... YES, you heard me right - my slot & chip collections may just be headed back to VEGAS!
