Non-human tables are the concession they have to make in order to have table games. PA only let gaming come to the state in exchange for a ridiculously (some would say criminally) large cut of the action in the form of taxes paid on gaming win. The Commonwealth is getting (ready, kids?) 44% of the house take. Proper tables would make PA unprofitable as a gaming destination, what with having to pay and insure those pesky humans.

Harrah's has the slot parlor in Chester, down south of PHL. Otherwise there's no same-firm competition, IIRC.

Flyer_70 is a winner. I don't know why I never thought of that, but thank you! Also, are you still planning on heading down to Bag HQ for Sooper Bowl Sunday? There is a roll call in 2.0. :)

Actually, in taking a closer look at that picture, it looks like there were some consumers that day.

The one towards the back is rather cute

Just get the cheapest one and get a free upgrade.

We are planning to take soon-to-arrive Ms. Enmascarado Jr. to visit her grandparents in Buenos Aires and Mexico City, and her great-grandmother in Baltimore... We still have to decide if we will buy seats for her... She could be OP Silver before she is 6 mo. old! :D

Hey no problem! I ran into the same issue before.

Not sure about Box Bowl yet, we may have some friends in town - but that is still up in the air. I will have to pop over to 2.0 after work to chime in. :)

Maybe they didn't upgrade you because they were insulted by your use of the EUR and not the CZK?

When does General Member status kick in? I'm not anywhere close to 222 lifetime stays.

Afternoon, Box.

I STILL feel like I'm not really caught up on life after the weekend MR craziness...feels like I've been working and running around nonstop since then.

Anything earth-shattering happen in here in the last couple of days?

Trustguy, so sorry for your loss.

Your rate was in CZK?
You also have to be GM on CO to qualify, then it is instant.

They also put me next to Alco, that is a downgrade as well :D
