Ontario Lottery Thieves
This posting will be in the Sault Star next week of Aug 23.
Tonight, Aug 13th 2011 after an evening at my favorite restaurant in down town Sault Ste. Marie my girl friend and I decided to venture over to the local OLG "Charity" Casino for a little meaningless entertainment.
I'll get right to the meat of the issue...I was engaged in the process of battling a couple of .50cent slot machines in the West End of the building. There were some adequately pacifying moments that at least covered the nights expenditures. After switching to a slot machine that offered the possibility of a 2x 3x or 5x pay it was within a small number of machine cycles that the RNG or random number generator offered up the sequence, in the diagonal position, of a triple bar, 5pay symbol and then another triple bar. The machine had stopped for approx. 2 seconds at which time I and my girl friend had expected a payout of $150.00...then the machine took off again to which she made the comment "oh look it's a HAYWIRE". The machine then cycled around to a triple bar, 5 pay and then a double bar, diagonally and also in the opposing diagonal position 2 double bar, 5pay and another double bar. The payout was $35.00 less of what the original two triple bars with a 5pay would have been. When I brought this to the attention of the floor people they did a play back on the machine and it did show that there was a triple bar in the previous spin but not with a 5pay or another triple bar. I said there's something definitely wrong because two of us witnessed the sequence. One attendant said they were going to check the security camera. I made it very clear to the attendants that I do not need to scam OLG for $35.00 nor do I need to waste time and energy through a lie...this was all about PRINCIPLE...to which the two attendants agreed. After 15 or so minutes the attendant came back and before he could say something I asked him first if the camera had "picked up the face of the machine and the cycle and re-cycle"? He said that "the camera did not show anything" that is not what I asked. I wanted to know if it showed the face of the machine with the triple bar cycle....YES or NO. Knowing that they were not going to cooperate I proceeded to point out the unaligned positioning of the cameras and how they could not possibly catch the full face of the machine. I asked if the camera had picked up the sequence and all I get is "the camera failed to show anything" not only is there a defective slot machine now there is defective visual surveillance.
The video surveillance in this casino is not there for the public's better interest it is there only for the benefit of OLG. What if I had been some poor shlug down and out hoping for at least a $35.00 payout? I made it perfectly clear to the floor people that it is evident that "this" casino has no problem taking from people but does have a problem with HONOUR and the " fair win principle". OLG wants to defile it's credibility by doubting two HONEST people rather than submit to the defect of a slot machine. The unit landed on a sequence that was not honoured. With one defective slot machine there brings the possibility of more. The patrons expect to play in an HONEST environment after all it is expected of the patrons to play honest. Is OLG honourable? Let's make some things perfectly clear here, I will not waste my time over anything frivolous, nor do I need to self orchestrate any complexities as the result of a lie or scam. I do not need to steal or scam any amount of money, I'll leave that to our elected officials particularly the local officials, nor do I have any use for people or entity that defile the principles of honour and good faith. OLG Charity Casino(s) owes $35.00 to me...but...I don't want it, instead I would rather see the $35.00 donated to the local soup kitchen...or does OLG Casino wish to also deprive those down on their luck?
OLG pathetically disputes corroborated evidence of an equipment failure, equipment that is fuelled solely by Private money. As if the patrons don't already face overwhelming odds, never mind a defective slot machine. I want to see a public notice informing the people that due to a defective class of slot machine these units will be checked and repaired by a QUALIFIED AND COMPETENT technician and evidence of those repairs posted in plain public view...something similar to the posting of MOL orders in the work place when a light bulb is burned out in the tool crib. The $35.00 directive towards the Soup Kitchen will be OLG's admission of guilt and apology to my girl friend and myself. You got caught CASINO now publicly address the issue.
I am all about honour...what are you about OLG? I've never ever experienced these deficiencies at any American venue.
I am etc.
