Casino's: bought, won and hacked for Redgie999
Casinos: bought, won, and now it appears, hacked for.

There have always been two main ways in which to get a casino, the more conventional method purchasing them, but this often ranges between 600 and 3000 points depending on what you want. So there is another way, winning one. This more unconventional method is mostly found in casinos such as kenos, because of the ability to bet small, and win big. But this method has always been very controversial and has caused many problems in the past. Sometimes, when they are won, they are returned to the owner, free of charge, but this is somewhat rare and on most occasions, they are sold to make more gambling money. But what happens when somebody wins a casino, under impossible circumstances? Such as the incident by WestSideGeeV2’s Pennsylvanian Race Track being won, despite having a low max. How did it happen?

The Events are believed to have taken place on the evening of Sunday February fourth and lasted just a few moments. It has been said that whilst on a short break to have dinner, WestSideGeeV2 (more widely known as WSG), informed some of his crew members from The Luciano Brothers, that he would be taking a short absence to eat, he told two of his crew members Sifazv3 and SeanKnox to watch his wealth status, and if somebody started winning, let him know and he then signed off of Bootleggers, but stated he would still be on MSN. Moments later as Sifazv3 was gambling at the casino, it came up with the message that he was unable to gamble, as the casino was currently in escrow, he reported this to WestSideGeev2 on MSN, who then panicked, stating he was unable to log onto bootleggers. Moments later the casino was under new management, WSG was a food stamps applicant, and was put on vacation for 30 days. I caught up with Sifazv3 for an interview on the happenings.

Q1: Please can you tell me, in your own words, what exactly happened on the night the casino was taken?
A1: Well, during this supposed hack, WSG told me he was going to have some food. At the time he was speaking to SeanKnox and I on MSN in a shared conversation. He said "watch my wealth stats in case someone starts winning," we said “yeah, OK cool.” He had logged out and would only speak on MSN, which was unusual for him. Next I told him he was logged in and that whilst I was gambling on his casino it went into escrow. I checked his profile again. He was still Dangerously Rich. I told him and he panicked. Then he went down to Food Stamps Applicant and told me he couldn’t log on. Then the transfer was completed. The person holding the casino was claiming he won it in the game forum. But we will never know if that’s what really happened. WSG has been banned 5 times now, and our UG crew have taken him from crew boss position and kicked him out.

It later emerged that Krul bought the casino off the person who supposedly won it, who’s name I am currently unaware of, Krul being a well respected member of Novus Ordo Seclorum and the current holder of Guvner’s slots. I decided to ask him about it, but it emerged that he had been away for some time, and knew nothing about it.

After later interviewing SifazV3, I discovered that it was in fact not even WSG’s casino and that it had been given to him to hold for another well respect BL player. And one that I’m sure is now very angry about the loss of the casino. And so I caught up with SifazV3 one last time for a closing statement:

“The Luciano Brothers are now running very smoothly once again and as for WSG, we did what we thought was best and wish him good luck in the future”

WSG later created a new account and requested a ban on both of them, as it would take too long too wait for it to come off vacation, and is now striving for his own crew and casino, once again.
