[vpFREE] Re: Illegality, immorality and cheating

Please forgive an awkward attempt to invoke a little irony for having obscured my true take here ...

I simply marvel how some find that in essentially having been invited to game, players feel they should be free to walk with whatever they can grab onto, by most any means short of outright deception.

I might have a little empathy if the players didn't have any suspicion that they were engaged in behavior that wouldn't be condoned by the casino (or were at least willing to stand behind that behavior and confront any consequence).

But when the reaction to a machine malfunction is, "Oh f***!", and they abandon the machine with credits on the meter, all bets are off.
