I just got back from Council Bluffs, and gave them my Council Bluffs card by mistake. They wanted me to sign the back, so I pulled out my old Kansas City card.

Maybe one day we will lose that stupid $500 loss limit!

BTW the $500 loss limit is used to "protect" people from losing too much money. However, someone who really wants to play a machine only has to get in their car and go to the next casino! By the way, the is no loss limit on Bingo or the State Run Lottery!

Bob Dancer (the famous Video Poker player) came to KC about a year ago to try his luck on the Video Poker machines here in KC. Bob and his wife came in one day earlier and bought $500 in chips every 2 hours for 12 - 16 hours. This gave Bob enough money to play the machines in KC. When he needed more money, he cashed in his chips for tokens.

The last trick you can do in Missouri is this, (just don't get caught) Find someone else’s Slot club card, and see how much money they have left on their card for 2 hours. Go to the high limit area and buy as much a possible on that person's card. Go to the cashier and trade tokens for chips. Continue playing. If you get caught, you will go to jail in Missouri (or at least banned from the casino).

You might be able to use Harrah’s cards from other casinos instead of finding other people cards in Missouri (I haven’t tried that yet).

Skip or Al, if you're ever in KC again, let me know, I treat you to some BBQ!
