Interview with Standford

Happy Holidays,

I placed my first football bet for Kansas City to win the Super Bowl. I forget what year that was.

Prior to that, Casino was popular in my neighborhood and all the kids learned the standard poker games, how to shoot craps and roulette with my plastic wheel.

Underage, I played the slots in Las Vegas gift stores.

The bonus is a payment for a look. The casino gives it to the player and the player checks out their operation. Having done that, there is never any bonus abuse. So I like a bonus that is easy to understand and paid without schenanigans. As Casinos write the terms, I always constru any confusion as to meaning in favor of the player.

A good bonus will always be exploitable by a sophisticated player. That is just part of the mix.

I outlined what I have in mind in the player union post which is very ambitious. I think doable but it will be difficult. Until then, players need to stick together as best they can.

Fortune Lounge runs smoothly although they have an unresolved complaint. VPL runs smoothly but I wish the woud discuss things with players. I tried to find out what they want so as not to commit "player fraud" and they won't repond. I may resurrect that thread.

Intercasino seems pretty good.

Happy Holidays,
Stanford
