"Unfair Gaming" Picketers?

What if we could develop an organization that included and provided for �UNFAIR GAMING� picketers. Every time a major casino in LV starts pushing an unfair game, the picketers picket outside in front of their establishment until they lose players, go nuts and subsequently fix the problem. Hmmmm, my wheels are starting to turn here. We could start with 6/5 BJ which should otherwise be a carnival game and not called BJ at all. ??? Has anything like this ever been done? The picketers could even go incognito.

Let�s work together to devise ways of stopping the disintegration of the games and the payouts thereof. Keep in mind my friends, there is an abundance of $ flowing on the LV strip. The casinos are not hurting for $ flowing in their direction. A few numbers of people picketing now and then, could turn the tables a little more towards the players.

The court of public opinion can be very powerful if administered appropriately. Ask yourselves this question: Would the typical ploppy feel comfortable even going into a casino with picketers outside chanting something about unfair gaming?

Is anybody with me???

The problem has been that no one seems to personally want to get involved, probably because of fear of personal liability, problems with police, hassles from the casinos and loss of playing longevity.

To accomplish this, we would have to hire professional pickets, and jump through many legal hoops. While the long-term goals are worthy and admirable, the practicality of it is that it would be quite difficult to pull off.

I would be willing to participate and contribute some money to it. Off the top of my head, I would think it would take a war chest of at least $10,000, probably more, to start. We would need to create a business entity (probably a corporation to avoid potential personal liability if something goes wrong) to hire the pickets, workers comp insurance, business licenses, legal advice, etc., etc. It is not as simple as it appears.

LVbear & golden, thanks for the input and support on this issue.

We are going to have to somehow unite, then get some $ to get us a an organization started and just do it. Otherwise, it will all continue to deteriorate.

When we get this going, it will eventually make a difference in the games. The casinos won't like it, but too bad. They are causing it.

Anybody else have any suggestions?

By increasing the house hold on most of the games, there continues to be less reasons to go the Desert. a trip once every 12 to 18 months is enough to catch the new shows. There seems to be an intend to downgrade the casinos to match the rest of the country.

For about 6 years I never when anywhere, but las vegas. Now I visit Tunica, Reno, Shreveport and Laughlin and find the same or better games.

However, this is not the first industry that shot itself in the foot. By attempting to get a short term increase in revenue, they are giving up a ton of future income.

I wonder how much all those people get paid for handing out worthless sex flyers/magazines. Maybe we need those same people to help us make a difference and do something worth while for a change. I get tired of all the porn stuff pushed on me anyway.

Why not link up with Vegas newsletter sites, in return for offering a link to their site/newsletter they can carry a warning about the 6/5 rip off.

The newsletter I receive has 17000 members, I am sure there are many more similar newsletters.This is a quick, easy and potentially free way to spread the word.

Let's get organized and put some $$ at work and see what we can do.

I like what I�m heeeeaaaarrrrring.

This may be the beginning of something big! ......... But we need to organize. Let�s somehow start a list of all who want to participate in the ground floor of this movement. For now, we need to know who and how many people are interested in starting the ball rolling. At this point we do not necessarily need $, but we do need numbers of people to show an interest and to offer ideas and suggestions. Sooner or later I think we should come up with a proper fitting name too. If we can just get some momentum going, that�s half the battle. A little help from the Green Chippers also, would be really fantastic.

Come on everybody, �LET�S ROLL!�

the link for the newsletter I receive is

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EverythingLasVegas/

the newsletter has nearly 18000 members as I write this, I am sure if a respected name like S. Wong was to offer a link to the newsletter the editor would be more than willing to make space for a segment in EACH and EVERY newsletter warning of the perils of 6/5 BJ ans other associated rip offs.

This is an excerpt from one of my previous posts:

One thing is for certain though, we must unite. It is possible to upset the gaming industry by providing public awareness of the rip-off games that are out there. If that were to happen, they would have to give a lot more incentive to get the players back again. Don't worry about them; they have a large bankroll to handle a little rough times variance.
