I couldn't trust Revel to make good on it's obligation to rebate my $100k loss. Even if I play by the rules, I suspect they will find a way to screw me.
Caveat emptor baby!
I jumped the gun on the bad pub statement, I was under the impression an article was to be published today. WoV is by overwhelming majority a recreational site, I would bet the number of 6:5 shoe game players dwarfs ap and wannabe ap. There's surely better ways they could be handling this than allegedly subjectively ejecting some players playing within the rules of the promotion because they not trying to manufacture losses, because they don't see long term value in them. There seems to be a mix of legit gripes and wild, ridiculous allegations. Pretty interesting to sit back and observe, I haven't been around long enough to have seen anything like it.

The following link is taken from the WoV forum, written by a poster who is a journalist and who's articles appear on Google News for a few days. Should be interesting if Revel finally decides to comment and/or if this could stir something up.

“You aren’t making money until your money is making money.”
It seems like for a joint that supposedly is courting "big action", they are highly cautious and fearful of the real high-rolling player.
A traditional case of "sweating the money". They say they welcome big action, but then when they get it, they come up with story after story in order not to accept it and/or to renege (welch) -- a la', taking out the $25 VP machines hours prior to the beginning of the promo.
Completely classless. All signs of a sweat-shop.
Whatever happened to casino owners who weren't afraid of covering a large wager and booking heavy action? Someone like Benny Binion, who never encountered a bet too big to cover.
Enter the Harvard MBA's and bean counter...
GAME OVER

Yes, the casinos were so much better when they were run by murderers and served to launder the mobs dirty money. Oh, the good old days.Originally Posted by AP360

Let me die in my sleep like my Grandfather.
Not screaming in agony like his passengers.
ya I just posted what I posted to let people now that they are not just turning away ap's money but limiting ploppies play as well... seems they are scared of the action they want so badley.. the guy in reference losses at a min of 150k-300k a year to casinos over the last 10 years... got more money than knows what to do with it
I never played in "da good old days', but according to books, movies and conversations with people that were there- being an AP in those days was pretty dangerous. Binion wouldn't have appreciated you trying to hole card his dealers and heaven forbid he caught a team taking his money. Ever read about the mobster who chartered a plane to fly over Binions ranch so he could lob hand grenades at him?
