This guy is my buddy's brothers friend.  They were in Vegas at the MGM and he won $500 on a nickle slot.  He took the $500 and made the two bets, as he is a huge Cards fan---what a payout.!!!! He told us about this at a card game(playing cards) before he won anything, and the details check out.

He's not anonymous. He is a security guard at the MGM. WW were all cheering for him to win his bets from the start of playoffs.

Sure you can always bet sports where you work, unless you are management.

Dealers cannot play table games at an MGM Mirage property, but we can play slots tbhat pay less than $10,000 jackpot I think. Only thing is, we don't get comps for playing.

If I'm gonna play, I'm getting comps.
