Come on!!!  You have to love this:  "Wynn reached a "non-prosecution agreement" with the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve the 10-year-old investigation over unlicensed money transfers from around the world funneling funds to gamblers at Wynn Las Vegas."

Here is the news clip on it.  And majority of victims were Asians.  Also note, they are at a bac table.  BTW, those casinos have approximately 40-50 bac tables with high limits.

Off-topic / Something to think about

When you win big for yourself, think!  Wins do not come large all the time no matter who you are or how skilled you think you are or might be.  Read the following article this morning and had to do a double take on it.  Great thinking on Sanders part.

Point being, all in proportion to what you normally do or infrequently accomplish. 


NFL rookies often go viral for their first big purchase after getting drafted. Some rookies will buy an expensive car. Other rookies will buy some luxurious jewelry or clothing. Of course, some will choose to spend on family, buying their parents a house or paying off a sibling's college tuition.

Sanders, whose father, Deion Sanders, made tens of millions of dollars in the NFL and is now a multi-millionaire head coach at Colorado, is already pretty well off. However, no one would blame him if he decided to make a big purchase now that he has been drafted.

The fifth round NFL Draft pick is making roughly $4.6 million over the next four years. Sanders has announced what he'll be spending his first NFL paycheck on.

Sanders made an announcement on what he'll be spending his first NFL paycheck on:

Nothing.

That's right, Sanders has announced that instead of spending on a car or a house or jewelry, he's choosing to save his money instead. He'll be investing it, rather than spending it.

"I'm not tryna buy anything," Sanders told reporters. "My signing bonus ain't that high right now."

Sanders made it clear that he has one goal right now: making the roster.

"I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity," Sanders said. "I don't ever focus on the negative or even think about the negative. I've just got to prove and show what I'm capable of. What fuels me is my purpose in life and understanding the route that we're going to have to take. Understanding that I was able to get an opportunity when a lot of people didn't want to give me an opportunity. So that's what I'm truly thankful for."

It's a mature, classy answer from Sanders. And it shows real character that he knows that he has his work cut out for him. While his contract is worth $4 million over four years, there's no guarantee that he'll even make the team.

There are ways to win and exit confidently with the cash. 

Do not go to the 'open cashier' in the main cage area and cash in your chips and immediately walk out to your car and leave.

All casinos as I know it, have a private or VIP cage room or area where others cannot view the transactions.  Of course these transactions are usually geared for the larger winners.  (Which the people committing crimes against are looking for anyway)

When you cash out your chips, do not go directly to your car.  You can go to various other parts of the casino, restaurants, snack bars, hotel lobby, etc., etc., and be sure no one is following you.  So then you are putting several buffer zones between yourself and leaving in your car.  Continuously look if anyone is following you.  Not too hard to discover, especially down a few hallways, etc. 

And probably the most important and effective is, when you are confident no one is following you, then exit a non gaming area exit to your vehicle.  All casinos have them.  So you will also avoid the perpetrators from hanging at the main casino exit looking for you.

Just some tips that will add safety without much work, IMO.

Yes I also agree, not on ounce of liability on the casino's part IMO.  There are enough warnings up in all casinos about 'over' gambling and self banning options, etc.

What about people over spending and bankrupting themselves with mortgages they simply can't afford, businesses they can't run properly, and all other types of spending that leads millions upon millions to failure and their own personal disasters?  Never seen a poster up in a bank saying, "Be careful about over spending, over investing or applying for mortgages you might default on one day".

Gotta love those past days, when casinos valued their regular players.

Lovepreaks, your fine.  We understand your English.  Please ask.  Many do not post here any longer because they created and lived on drama.  I will not have that.

Our read rate is very high.  The posting rate is not because of all the bad mouth and drama created on other forums about us. 

Your questions are fine.  Thanks for your interest.
