[vpFREE] Re: Gaming Day Timings

There is another issue with the hours of the gaming day. I recently played at a Lake Tahoe casino that I strongly suspect uses a midnight to midnight gaming day. I always synchronize my watch within a few seconds with my atomic clock so I know the exact time. I pulled out my TITO twelve minutes before midnight to make sure everything was OK. I found out that the "official" clock of the casino was off and ahead by 15 minutes and I had already been tripped for another day.

For those unfamiliar, gaming days are often different than a standard calendar day (12am-11:59pm). At many casinos it is important to keep play within one gaming day to maintain a good playing average for mailers, comps, etc..
