Gene:

There was no mention of "team play" in Clyde and Toni's original note. Unless things have changed in the way casinos track players' action, it is easy to detect "abusive" players and well within their rights to cut off those players from receiving credits for play--it happens all the time. There are numerous procedures allowed by which casinos can make their playing life miserable, so much so that the players would quit coming back to play.

Gene, as well you know as a casino employee and player, players don't give a hoot about how much casinos stand to lose from their "smart" or "informed" play provided, of course, they don't violate any laws in the process. After all don't casinos lean very heavily on players stupidity and desire to be "in action"? When the shoe is on the other foot they react by barring players. If the casino operator underwrites games/machines that can be "beat" or don't give them their theoretical return, and they can't stand the heat, then maybe going into the supermarket business would be more to their liking where, other than out and out theft, their only concern would be competition. Ejecting players from ANY business when no violation of law exists is the worst advertisement that business can bestow upon itself! Best regards, Chuck T.
