    WORD FROM THE MEISTER
    CASINOMEISTER'S FORUM
    This week I spent a hell of a lot of time working with some of the scripting in Casinomeister's forum, mainly on the Casino Representative page. What a pain in the ass! But lo and behold, it seems to be functioning fine.
    http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/showgroups.php

    So what's up with this page? Well, it lists over 80 casino reps - casino managers, affiliate managers, customer service supervisors, CEOs, and casino operators who represent over 250 casinos and poker rooms. They are members of our forum, and their participation makes Casinomeister's forum one of the most productive forums in the online casino industry. There is some good stuff happening there, and it's only going to get better.
    CALLING ALL CASINO OPERATORS!
    Do you have a representative in our forum? If not, why not? This is your opportunity to use our forum for public relations fallout prevention, crisis management, question and answer exercises, and to just simply have some good ol' fashion fun. This is why we do what we do, right? To enjoy ourselves.

    Anyway, you should have a representative who monitors the forum activities, and to simply get up to snuff on what's going on in online casinoland. There is a hell of a lot going on, so join up here:
    http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/register.php

    Then email me or request to be added to the Casino Representative group, and I'll get you hooked up. Once you are listed, you (or your rep) will just be a click or two away to solve any player issue that might pop up.

    Things to consider:
    When players feel like bitching and moaning, Casinomeister's forum is where they go. Why? Because there are many problem solvers who frequent the place -- many players hang out there. In the past six weeks alone, there have been over 400 new signups - many of these are players looking for advice, or looking for a solution for a problem.

    It's a moderated forum. In other words, there are rules that are followed by most everyone, and when members get too emotional or step out of line, they either are corrected or they correct themselves. It's a pretty cool place to be. It's not a player vs casino sort of atmosphere. There are many members who like to keep the forum in a "productive" mode.

    Most of the active members can chew gum and walk at the same time.
    Some of the most intelligent and entertaining people post in our forum. From the US political scene, to gaming odds and statistics, my mind is blown away on a daily basis from reading what some of the well-read people have to say. Casinomeister's forum is a magnet for brainy people.

    So c'mon, what are you waiting for? Gabba gabba hey! Be one of us.
    SPRING CLEANING
    It's time to clean out your Private Messages - both the inbox and out boxes. These can be easily downloaded, y'know. So you don't have to worry about losing everything. Also, if you are a member, you need to update your user profile - email addresses, etc., need to be current.
    FORUM THREAD OF THE WEEK
    If you're not following the discussion in our forum concerning the H.R. Bill 4777, you're wrong. The thread contains up to date info on this bill - and this bill is designed to screw you over. Be informed! Take action! Check it out here:

    THE KAHNAWAKE GAMING COMMISSION ACKNOWLEDGES MY EXISTANCE
    Two weeks and four emails later the Kahnawake gaming commission finally acknowledged my question on how they were handling the issue about Golden Palace's breech of their agreement not to disrupt the Olympics with their stupid juvenile marketing stunts.

    So how are they handling this? Well, they told me it would be done internally.

    Are we owed an explanation on how they handle Golden Palace's blatant in-your-face thumbing of the nose response to "Golden Palace will not use, promote, encourage or fund this type of ‘marketing’ ever again"? This sort of response does not say much for the policing efforts of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. I'm really disappointed in how this was dealt with, and I've lost a lot of faith in this licensing agency. How do you feel about this? Feel free to let us know here:

    And now for the humor......
    From the archives:

    Three turtles, Joe, Steve, and Poncho, decide to go on a picnic. So, Joe packs the picnic basket with cookies, bottled beer, and sandwiches. The trouble is, the picnic site is, 10 miles away, so the turtles take 10 whole days to get there. By the time they do arrive, everyone's beat.

    Joe takes the stuff out of the basket, one by one. He takes out the beers and says, "Alright, Steve, gimme the bottle opener."

    "I didn't bring the bottle opener," Steve says. 'I thought you packed it."

    Joe gets worried. He turns to Poncho. "Poncho, do you have the bottle opener?"

    Naturally, Poncho doesn't have it, so the turtles are stuck ten miles away from home without beer. Joe & Steve beg Poncho to turn back home and retrieve it, but Poncho flatly refuses, knowing that they'll eat everything by the time he gets back.

    Somehow, after about two hours, the turtles manage to convince Poncho to go, swearing on their great-grand turtles' graves that they won't touch the food. So, Poncho sets off down the road, slow and steadily.

    Twenty days pass, but no Poncho. Joe and Steve are hungry and puzzled, but a promise is a promise. Another day passes and still no Poncho, but a promise is a promise. After three more days pass without Poncho in sight, Steve starts getting restless.

    "I NEED FOOD!" he says with a hint of dementia in his voice.

    "NO!" Joe retorts. "We promised."

    Five more days pass and the two are near starvation. Near death, the two turtles weakly lift the lid to get a sandwich. As they open their mouths to eat, Poncho pops out behind a rock, and says, "Just for that, I'm not going!"

    ha ha ha
