We can't win for loosing

After 35 years of playing everything from BJ, to Craps and now VP, the casinos find a way to shift the odds back to them. I was a good card counter, then switched to craps when casinos changed the game and made it to hard for the weekend player. Craps is fun but the house is up on every bet except the pass-line odds bet, now just as I am happy and setteling in the VP games the Casinos hit us once more.
I just spent the last 9 days at Harrahs laughlin and was comped my room for the 8 nights before I went, due to past play by the wife and I. We did ok on the VP games, by winning a little over $900.00 on this trip (BUT it could be my last comped trip) Laughlin has FP VP games everywhere except Harrahs and you will find signs telling you the 100% ++ payback on the VP machines I now find it very hard to keep my playing level high enough to get comps. I have found casinos players clubs cutting your playing credits by as much as 75% on VP machines, but if you play reel slots you receive the standard points.
Most of my winning play was not at Harrahs, but I found the JOB 7/5 machines filled every night with people playing. They do have 8/5 also if you look, most do not take the time. A note on Harrahs, they have the highest hold on slots. This comming from someone who leases and installs
for them, they are also loosing money and close to selling off more casinos to keep cash in house.
Just my rant from a VP fan player who liked the way it was, and you could find a FP VP on any dollar machine and get full player credits at the same time.
