Its all good. There are people that worry about gettting robbed....they're all over.
But how many people HAVE been robbed? ...thats overblown.
OK, Limelight robbery. We all know about it. It was in the paper. They've taken steps to prevent further. They robbed the cardroom, and not the people from what I heard. I was in there a few weeks ago until well after 100am- I see the upgraded security.
OK, alleged Capitol follow-home robbery. Never heard of it. Never heard any details. Please referrrence a SacBee article if there is one. Not saying it didn't happen, but in an online public forum discussing a legitimate business, lets paste in a link to the newspaper article if there was an assault of the magnitude alleged.
A Google search only comes up with the Limelight and some referrence to the Phoenix that I can't track down.
Its good to discuss the fact that if a player hits it big, or hits the BBJ, he can leave his money at the casino, take a check, take part of it, etc. Loose quote "...I always take my cash with me, I don't want to leave it a the cage...." ok...sorry folks, this is the 21st century. You can electronics your cash just about anywhere...unless you are really living under the radar. I hope we've stopped stuffing our cash in mattresses to keep it safe here. IN this day and age, there are so many ways to secure a large bankroll without having to stuff it in your pockets and look around 360 degrees for the ride home. get serious.
I like playing in this area, and I'm sure most of the people do as well. It compares favorably to a lot of other areas, as we've discussed. One good thing is, if you play a room long enough, you know who to go to with concerns. At Capitol, Gene sits in and plays all day. You all know, he'll talk and discuss just about anything with his customers. At TV, Ben walks in and out ten times a day, and John is a great floor kid who responds real fast. Other places have people right there to answer your Q/A and concerns.
So, back to the response, OK....lets talk about where to go and where to avoid. But if we're going to discuss where to avoid, lets back it up with facts and data, and not just I heard a dude got followed/robbed a few years back.
Hey, a guy got shot last year in front of Riverside Clubhouse in Land Park- so, everybody stop going there, or stay away from Land Park.....?...nah.
