Re: [vpFREE] Server based games a la Aria

I believe that it has been posted more than once on vpFREE
that Venetian/Palazzo have already been "....controlling who has
access to what games...." for a long time, now.

Specifically, (it's been posted here that) the Venetian/Palazzo
have offered 9/6 JOB to some players, on some machines,
at some times. While at the same time, not offering the same
game to everyone who plays in their casinos. (There may be
other examples, but this is the one that I remember being
discussed on vpFREE.)

Clearly, that is a form of controlling which players have access
to certain games. And, Venetian/Palazzo may not so clearly
be in violation of Nevada's gaming regulations by doing so.

Although IGT has long marketed the concept as enabling operators to
restrict games from certain players such a practice is clearly in
violation of Nevada and other states' gaming regs.

Given the introduction of the first of the server based games at Aria, I
would be interested in opinions on how long it will be until the games one
has access to on a machine will depend on what player card is inserted.
Controlling who has access to what games is obviously possible technically
but the regulatory and marketing considerations are considerable.
