Little did we know in those days that the little jerk had a gambling problem!

Time has a way of working things out.That same loser is probably still working in a mid-level IRS job.
And if he is, he STILL has his thumb on all of us! He can still rat us out to curry favor.
If a bank credits your account in error, you know it is an error, and take the money and run, in most places that is a crime. I don't see a whole bunch of difference here. I think the casino has a good chance of getting the money back.
If the machine had been erroneously programmed and the payout rate had accidentally favored the casino I wonder would the casino be trying to find it's customers to reimburse them?
All the games, machines, etc. in a casino have odds that favor the house. Play long enough and you lose. When you lose the money is gone.
Because of a malfunction the odds are in favor of the player on a machine. Play that machine long enough and you win. Now the house wants back the money it lost???
Gambling is not a smart thing to do IMHO.
I was reading about this a week ago in the NY Daily News. I guess this is one of those filler pieces that shows up whenever there's a little space left.
If they came looking for me, I'd tell them that I'll be an ex-card-holder of Caesar's and a future card holder of the Tropicana (or a hotel not own by the same management) and I'll be sure to be a part of their New Ad campaign about Honest Slots.
it's bush's fault
"your talking about getting back a stub.
If your lucky."
I had one of those waiters at a fancy restaruant reach over my shoulder and grab my plate when I wasn't finished eating everything on it and I pinned his hand to the table with a fork. I hate those hovering bastards!
I guess the famous "machine malfunction" excuse applies only when they don't feel like paying a jackpot.
I had a call the other night for some fake charity. I told her times were really tough with my eBay habit and unsympathetic casinos. She was speechless as I hung up...
No doubt, there are lots of good places to eat here.
Took me awhile to figure this out....
The Matre'de sits you at the table...bye, thanks, see ya.
The water / drink boy comes by...bye, thanks, see ya.
The actual waiter arrives......
"I'm going to place my order with you. Unless the food is sub-standard, or I signal you that I need something, do not approach my table. I am here to eat. I am not here to be bothered, every 30 seconds, by someone wanting to fill my water glass. Am I clear on this?"
The answer is always "yes."
And I always add, "Good, I'm glad we understand each other. Your tip is riding on it."
And I tip good, when the service is what I want. You know that when you go back and they remember.
It's amazing how well that works.
Try it.
If the casino really wants to get back most of their money, they should just go knock on the doors of this technician's relatives.
The casino intends to try to get the money back
I'll give mine back, where do I go to turn it in? ha ha
Sounds like the work of "bizarro George."
Or a Ned Flanders.
Lol.
Give us da money back, Mrs. Smith, or you'll be swimmin' wit da fishes.
