Flagged in a casino

Maybe they assumed you were Jesus!

 

Super lame.

 

You should have had a paving stone or something and placed it on the carpet and stood on that. Your not standing on the carpet then are you?

 

to summarize...

1. you have the old format license... (no big deal, by itself, as it isn't expired)
2. But, you don't look like you picture AND the height doesn't match
3. AND your signature didn't match

What would you expect them to do?

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a shame. But I'm not sure what choice they had. I mean, letting you verify you signature since the picture and height were suspect seems pretty reasonable,... but when that's off too...

Sorry,... got to go with the casino on this one.

 

Your post reminded me of a funny story that happened to me a while back, when I was too young to get in a local casino...

Across the border in Windsor, Canada, they opened a casino in 1994. Shortly after they opened I wanted to go, but was only 18 yrs old (you had to be 19 to get in), so I borrowed a friend's ID who looked somewhat like me. Before we went to the casino, we had been drinking in a few Canadian bars and I had gotten slightly buzzed, so when I walked up to the entrance, the security guard asked me for ID. I showed him the ID and he looked puzzled. He asked me to sign my name for him, so I began to do so, but in the middle of signing it, I had forgotten how to spell my friend's name, which was a long Greek last name - Paisopoulous - or something like that). So at that point I basically surrendered my attempt and said "sir, I'm sorry, I don't even know how to spell the guy's last name, let alone sign it", then laughed. He laughed, then said "get the f**k out of here kid", and kept the ID.

 

You could have walked on the carpet on your hands. They just said that you couldn't step FOOT on the carpet. I love bending rules.

 

Did you have any backup ID?

 

Look at the money you saved.

 

Haha.

 

When I had my license photo taken here in Georgia, I wore a v-neck shirt and, of course, you can see my prancing horse tattoo in the license picture... I never have a problem with my ID (even though I had blonde highlights in my hair at the time - don't ask! and have shed a few pounds since)... Often times, people will say, "do you really have a horse on your chest?" and I show them and it's instant, undeniable verification...

Your solution...? Get a prancing horse tattoo on your chest...!

 

Borgata? That's in Morocco, right... lots of bellie dancers?

 

We should make mandatory for Fchat users!

 

Next time:

Ask to speak to the casino host. Introduce yourself and explain the disappointment you had in the past. State you are not placing blame but want to make sure you are not embarrassed in front of associates again. Then tell him you would like your play rated. See how he treats you.....

That should stop any problem - As long as you're of age.

 

Maybe a new ID would be a good idea?? What would that cost? $10-25, and you'd be in the clear next time you want to go gaming.

Besides, you do have a baby face, and thank God you grew!! 4'11" is no way to go through life.

Brandon. How is life in the post graduate world treating you? You did graduate, right? All done school, now you're working in the real world?

Next time you head to the casino, be sure to post in the PA-NJ forum and invite us too, ya @#$$~@!!

Click here to start a petition...!

 

Haha. We should start a poll about it, and if it gets serious, Fchat should pay for all of us to get them. Hey, that could be where all the subscription money could go. I'll get a Rossa subscription for that! I kid, I kid.

My 14 year old son wanted a tattoo back in the day, I said fine, but I got to pick what it said.

I offered, "This tattoo cost me a million bucks."

He wondered what the hell I meant.

I told him, "I'll write you out of the will if I catch you with a tattoo before you turn 21."

Just wanted to make sure he thought about it before he jumped off the cliff.

What does getting rated mean? Sorry I have never been to a casino.

 

Just get a club card through the Player's Club Booth or a Casino Host - play is tracked through all manner of Slot machines and Pit through the same card.

An "appeasement" Comp does not have to be written by a Casino Host. It can be written by any number of Pit floorpeople or Slot Managers. "Appeasement" comp points/dollars are not taken off the Player's Club Account.

You do not have to be a huge player. Show 'em your card before you get started. Those points/dollars add up and can be used at your discretion.

 

Great advice. If you are semi-decent at limit poker, play $3/$6 limit hold-em (cheapest live game most casinos offer). For every hour of play you get money back. Some casinos have deals if you have 3 hours of play stashed on your card, you can get into a low buy-in NL H/E game ($20 + $20 re-buys and $20 add-on) and you'd start with 3,000 extra chips on top of a start of 750 chips.

If your casino does this (Fort McDowell Casino in Phoenix, AZ does) you'll have a better advantage. I've played several times with just the starting 750 and I was going all-in more often than not. Starting with 3,000 I could sit back more and not risk getting knocked out or having to re-buy.
