WOW - I have been richly rewarded for my loyalty since it opened and my black chip play almost every weekend with a generous $15 match playFirst session which was a mini-session as I was interrupted by a client phone callFirst hand used my match play with the dealer and pit boss laughing at the absurdity of a $15 match play coupon for meLost the first hand 20 to 19Second hand I got a naturalPressed the 150 and lostA few nondescript hands later I was even and was dealt another naturalI left it up and wonThen got a phone call I couldn't refuseTrip is +300
I found out some hosts were just terminated last night, including mine - guess the management wanted to make sure they brought their players in for the weekend Just played two shoesShoe one was not funLost 6 of 8 hands at one pointAnother player berated my following play to his friend (under his breath):He had 1k up and was dealt a 7,4 v dealer 6He doubled and got a 7 for 18I had 6,6 and I splitGot another 6Hand 1: 6,8Hand 2: 6,10Hand 3: 6,10Dealer had 6...turned over a King then drew a 3 for 19He slammed his fist on the table then repeatedly stated to his friend that splitting 6's is never the right play and that I took the tens from the dealerTrip is still +300 Played 4 shoes up and downShow #5 lost 16 of first 19 hands with 2 pushes and 1 winGuy at table would not split 9,9 v dealer 8 (and no I amNot saying it affected me---a post earlier wanted to hear of bad plays)Trip is -1700 Dealer just made 5 blackjacks in half a shoeI luckily won 3 doublesTrip -2200Got 500 backA dealer I am friendly with said "I always give you 500". Not sure f it was a hustle but I reminded him of a few weeks ago where he took 4k and he laughed saying he didn't rememberJust played a shoe lost every hand except for 4 pushes and 2 winsTrip now -3200Got 500 backNow -2700But better story from a friend who is at a Maryland casino and just text me this story about a guy at his table:A guy buys in here at $100 table with $400. First bet is $150 and he loses. Bets $200 next hand and pushes 18. Bets $250 next hand and wins. Has played at least 15 more hands and hasn't lost or pushed and kept pressing his bet. Now has about 12k in front of him. UPDATE -- guy cashed out with 20kPlayed a mini-session and got another 300 backTrip -2400Going to grab a shower and then eat dinnerAlso trying to use all my comp points as who knows if they will still be valid this time next week Just played another shoe -- lost 2k thereinTrip is -4700Rapidly approaching TILT
RANT:Officially done with this place (unless the new owners woo me back)So I bought in for 3k and thought I won 250. I pocketed the chips after coloring them in and took a stroll. Upon returning to play I saw I did not have 3250 in chips but only 2850. As I looked upon the chips quizzically while attempting to retrace my steps to determine if I had dropped a chip somewhere, was paid incorrectly or miscounted my chips when I colored in, a big boss I friendly with asked if everything was ok. I told him about my chip miscalculation and he offered to run the tape and show me stills. I told him that would be great. Upon review, they stated I was paid correctly and I thanked him for looking into it and stated I must have miscounted my chips. I then sat down and played a little and got back another 150 and, when I colors in, the floor person made this whole production of counting all the chips out loud for me so I laughed and asked if they were joking and they said no. They then told me I had been previously flagged in the system as a player who disputes payouts - WTF?!? Why tell me this now? The only other time I questioned chips colored in was the first week they were open. So basically, I've been flagged for 3 years???It just made no sense to me...My host was fired Thursday nightI have almost double the tier points needed for my Black card (even have enough for their secret "Radiance" level card (although by invite only and I have heard there are less than 10 people that were ever invited and I have no idea what perks come with it))The new owners can either entice me back or I will play elsewhereI have been one of their most loyal players and this type of customer service is exactly why they are in the position they are inI'm going to take my gambling business elsewhere - I've never heard of such a thing (although Revel will be out of business in about 2 weeks anyway)
