I have read now all the interviews and such on this site the last couple days. AP for only 6-8 weeks. So someone tell me what is 86'd mean? I'm thinking it means you can't return to that casino?

I was never backed off at Harrah's in Vegas but was tossed at 3 AM from the casino and my room.runningaces said:thanks, how many backoffs b4 getting 86'd usually?
At one of my local joints there was no back-off. I was 86'ed right away and received a registered letter in the mail the next day claiming that if I get caught on thier propery ill be charged with trespassing.runningaces said:thanks, how many backoffs b4 getting 86'd usually?
Why was that? I've been backed off twice and one of the places was where I was staying, and I was being comped. I was nervous that they were gonna boot me out of the room, but I never used a players card there when playing BJ so I think that saved me. It did give me a lil satisfaction that these tightwads were comping me. I had played pretty big at one of their many properties and not at BJ so ya, they would love to comp me, why not I wasnt a AP at the time when I was getting rated.ihate17 said:I was never backed off at Harrah's in Vegas but was tossed at 3 AM from the casino and my room.

:1st: excellent post! imhodarrislance said:Rumor has it that back in the old West men drank 100 proof liquor. When a man had too much to drink, the bartender would cut him back to 86 proof liquor, which is what the ladies usually drank, making him the laughing stock of the saloon...and the term 86'd was born.
Now that little tidbit of information is priceless! I had always wondered. So now what's the term Bogarted come from? Humphrey, I know, but in what context?darrislance said:Rumor has it that back in the old West men drank 100 proof liquor.

I played their lousy double deck game against an extremely weak dealer where I could see the hole card perhaps 75% on the time. I did not make stupid plays like hitting an 18 when I knew the dealer had 20, but I had a huge win and probably played the game way too long.runningaces said:Why was that?
