"I don't think outside the box; I think of what I can do with the box." - Henri Matisse
I've been lucky enough to have never been back-roomed, evicted from my hotel (typically because I almost never play where I stay), arrested or assaulted. But I've fallen victim to everything else. The last time I was evicted from a P*N*K property, I was told I could face criminal charges for tresspassing. Even though I was not read a statute, nor was I asked to sign anything, I'll consider that as a trespass. And I have no intentions of going back to call their bluff LOL.
Since bigplayer revived this older post, I'll point out the irony of my original post on this thread. I was back-roomed about a month after I made the original post. AND NO... not by the place that 86'd/trespassed me. Different state and different company. Scary experience. Hope to never go through anything like that again.
And that place made me sign a trespass form and made it official. I suppose I could have refused to do so, but the casino was located in a bad neighborhood and the cop was threatening to take me to jail if I didn't sign. Given the amount of money I had on me, I was not really in the mood to go to jail that night.
It wasn't an easy decision for me, lol. It took a lot for me to make the decision to go inside. I had just finished playing another store close by and I was passing this dump on the way home. I had $2K in chips from said dump (from 7 month prior). I carry any chips from my inventory if I know I'll be close to that store. As I sat in the parking lot, I told myself I needed to do something with these chips. Either use them to play or cash them out. After sitting in the car for 10 min, I finally talked myself into going in. I looked around and the conditions didn't look good so I decided not to play. As I was getting ready to leave, that's when I got approached by security.
I am much more selective about the casinos I play in nowadays though.
Yeah, I'm not sure what legal recourse they would have against me if I came back for a third visit. On my first visit, I was backed off, escorted off the property, and was told I was permanently banned from the premises. On my second visit, I was escorted out again and told I could be arrested next time for trespassing. Maybe they're full of shit and they're just trying to scare me, but I'm not sure I want to find out. They have a great DD game, but it isn't worth the possible arrest and aggravation. There's plenty of other good games out there.
