    Ben Affleck

    BA is in Detroit filming Batman Vs. Superman and has been made right at home at both Motor City and Greek Town Casinos and Resorts. He is playing $500 and $1000 chips and is winning and a big tipper, seems they are happy to take his action.

    They know his EV is less than what he would charge for an appearance on their casino floor.

    Good!!! I really think Mr. Affleck's game, and the publicity surrounding it caused some temporary 'tightening' here in the valley. Typical over-paranoia. I think the industry speculated there might be some copy cats generated from the publicity of the events.

    Up until these events, the only beef I had with Ben Affleck was being upset about good money that I laid out for a few of his crappy movies. But, I guess that one is really on me, not him. I do hope he tones it down a bit. It really seemed like his actions here were about trying to generate a 'buzz'.

    KJ, I really liked his movie "The Town", and the blind super hero movie was way cool too. Maybe we can score a chat with BA?

    I hear he gives all his winnings away to other casino customers. I am not sure why a casino wouldn't want him as that would really attract a crowd. See a celeb and maybe get a big gift. The people he gives it to probably losses it back to the casino for the most part.

    I was told that the Hard Rock reinstated him. Whether he was counting or not, I have heard he has lost tons of cash at the Hard Rock. They would be foolish to bar him, plus he is good for cost free advertising, unless of course he is winning, but seeing that they reinstated him, I think it's safe to say he isn't.

    I am relieved that he does not possess the competence to play Spanish. I might've been left floundering.

    We'll see whether the dealer who told me BA was reinstated at HR was right or not. He has not been in town lately, from what I've heard.
