O GOODIE, GOODIE, GOODIE :3- :3- :3- :3-

Joey   You said I left a hundred dollar bill in one of your machine that I was working on, consider that payment for the first four tickets to this years drawing.

Can't wait  to see what this years prizes will be :131- :244-

Can't wait. 5 more days.

I never win, but I'm a sucker so I'll enter anyway...   :279- :200- :5- :208-

" I never win "   What a lie, you told me you were divorced. 

Buzz that's the funniest thing I have seen in a long time

Thank you !!!

I got the kid and the debt, she got the house and the car (and never paid a dime of what she owed me).

Tell me again how that was a win?  :72- :72-

Sounds like we'll have it the way we want it. That will be great. Thanks for hint Jim. Now I need more clues

 :25-  oh sorry...did not mean to imply anything...2nd prize is a burger....first prize gets the burger and a bonus...yessir...you want fry's with that?

Large frys

Yah...Buzz is a Marriage Counselor on his off-time....Just ask him for marriage advice...you'll be divorced in a week! Well, maybe you won't be divorced, but she'll sure as h*** think you're an A**hole!

Roz  :72-

Jim, As Normal here goes my tax refund, maybe this is my lucky year. If not I have overdone it again. And another member is happy. As it is for the site, that is the only thing that matters.

Triple double diamond deluxe with cheese??????????? :61-

ONE MORE DAY UNTIL WE FIND OUT IF IT'S A BURGER & FRIES

It is my extreme pleasure to kick off this years 4th Annual Bettor Slots NLG Giveaway....yeah !!!  You guys don't know how much I look forward to this.  Just to see the excitement before, during, and after is all pretty cool and makes me feel good about the effort.

Really hard to believe so many years has passed.  I love and depend on this site as I know so many of you do.  I try to join in whenever I can find the time as I know so many of you do to try to help out those that need it.  I'm trying not to sound sappy here, but can any of you that check-in every day, or even once a week or month to surf around and see what going on imagine even for a moment if it were gone?  Who here has the home page "favorited" so it's just a quick-click away?  And what if you clicked and suddenly...nothing.  What would you do?

This year I am going to try something very different from the past Giveaway events.  Prior I had just picked out some things to giveaway that I had hoped most would like, but the truth is everyone is different and likes different things so this year...YOU GET IT YOUR WAY !!!  The winners will be able to pick from whatever we have in stock at the conclusion of this event in April.  In the coming weeks I will be posting pictures of what we are working on in the shop just to give you all and idea of what will be available.  And those of you that have been to our shop knows we always have on hand the full gamut from S2000's, Reel Touches, I-Games, Game Kings, Barcrests, Bluebird Videos, Bluebird Reels, and Bally Alphas.

Pictured below is the prize pool hopefully to get you guys going.  I am still tweaking the rules and regs as I want to make a couple of adjustments to address a few suggestions from past years.  I always want to improve where we can so I will have that posted in about a weeks time.

Come on guys...lets make the best year for NLG yet !!!

Jim,

Don't forget to post all the How To's For Noob's so they will know how to enter.

Lindsay

Hey Jim, will the kits be minty?  Are the strips backlit and washable and will they be blemish free?   Are there any scratches or chips on the glass?  Are they 2CM or 3CM kits?  Will photos be available to inspect the glass and strips?  Are there SB chips and DSV SIMMs included and are they original?

Ok I'm kidding, I'm kidding!!  Lol!! 

Thanks again for the generosity to NLG and good luck to all!

Jason

Thank you so much Jim and everyone else who helps you at Bettor Slots!
Last year was my first time entering when I joined the site and it was a lot of fun to go to Laughlin and meet everyone.
Looking forward to it again this year.
 :244- :131-

Yes, thanks Jim, this a very generous thing you do.  No wonder I enjoy doing business with you.  Raedy to make some more donations.  :-)

You're an a** by nature, right??? Just kidding my friend....aren't we all after the best?!?!

Roz

Boy now if that isn't the jackass calling the donkey long ears...

I love you too Roz...you know that.  As Barry would put it...always after the good sheet.

Jason

I think you may have your donkeys mixed up...(easy to do, as theres a "few" of them around)...you'll know me, I have pretty little pink ears.... :72- :141-

Big hugs buddy, you know it..... :254-

Roz

Maybe I was thinking of Buzz.  ;)  That Jeannie top glass is getting to you I see.  :D

Jason

Yah...every day it stares me in the face....no belly, no strips....I'm just LOVING that game!!!!  :97- :97-


Anyway, this wasnt meant as a hijack, just had to comment on Yoeddys "Minty" post...

 :259- :259- :259- To Bettor Slots for the donations,  :wa

Need the "How To Enter" details for us new guys.   

Coming soon...working out a few details.

 :59- :59- :59- The first weeks entries have been sent to   :214- StatFreak  :214- for verification and entry into the drawing   :3- :3- :3- :3-
 :50- :50- Thank you to Jim Bettor Slots, and to all of you  :89- For all you do to make NLG the #1 site for Slot's on the World Wide Web :71- :71- :71-

And Good Luck !!!!
 :136- :136- :136-

Can't wait to learn how to enter....maybe I won't need to buy the bluebird I am wanting!

I used the instructions from the 3rd annual.
I'm assuming you get one chance for every $25 bucks you donate to NLG. (don't forget to include your NLG name on the donation)
I did that today so I'm hoping to have an entry. Probably more to follow since this is a truly great site, really helpful group of folks.
Got to be better odds than my slot machines paying the max jackpot! :3-

 :58- :58- :58- Jim is working on the small print, Format, Rules, Prize Structure, ETC   :58- :58- :58-       

:)  so in the meantime enjoy this video.   :97- :97- :97-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MlPJp70vcY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MlPJp70vcY)

Thx Joey...that helps....traveling right now and hard to get this done with an iPhone...will be back at the shop Tuesday and will get'em posted.

An important note, as in previous years:

When making your PayPal donation to the site, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY MENTION OF "ENTRIES", "RAFFLE TICKETS", "DRAWING TICKETS", ETC!

In previous years NLG had some hassles with PayPal after folks mentioned these things in their donations, as PayPal frowns upon using their service to facilitate anything that even borders on a raffle or gambling.  Please keep it simple and just include your NLG username with your dontation -- the folks at NLG will award you entries to the raffle without you needing to spell out the purpose of your donation.

 :212- :212- :212- :212- :212-

Will you soon be posting updates on the entries as you have done in the past (so we can confirm we are entered for our donation)?

Thanks!!

Stat is working on a list and will post it soon :)

FOURTH ANNUAL NLG     BettorSlots.com    GIVEAWAY   -  RULES AND REGS


 


WIN ONE OF 6 GREAT PRIZES !!!!




EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:

The Bettor Slots Company will be giving away several prizes to those that participate with a Grand Prize and Second Place Prize of a fully decked out and detailed PREMIUM slot machine.  There are also some great runner-up prizes….so check out the details below.


FORMAT:

This giveaway is open to all NLG members.  The prize winners will be selected raffle style by selecting they’re “name from a hat”.  Any winner from last years event may also be eligible to win again this year.  Selection of winners shall be pulled in order of Grand Prize First and down from there.

The first pulled ticket / name out of the hat will be placed on the table in full view and shall be the Grand Prize Winner.  The second pulled ticket / name out of the hat will be placed on the table in full view and shall be the Second Place Winner.  No single Member may win more than one prize.  In the event that the name on the second place ticket matches that of the first, it will be announced "we have a duplicate" and that ticket shall be set aside.  This process will continue until a unique name is pulled for the 2nd place winner.  Once the 2nd place winner is established, the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th place finishers shall be established in the same manner.  

Although prize winners will be pulled in order from 1st place price to last, they will be announced in order from last place prize to first.

Any prize winner 1st through 6th may gift their prize to any other NLG member provided they took part in this event and obtained a raffle ticket.  Their name and prize will be published.



HOW TO GET A RAFFLE TICKET:

Simply make a $25 donation to NLG by clicking the DONATE button at the bottom of this page.  

YOU CAN MAKE MULTIPLE $25 DONATIONS AND OBTAIN MULTIPLE TICKETS TO INCREASE YOUR ODDS.   :89- :71- :71- :71- :79- :79-

BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR NLG "HANDLE" IN THE MEMO PORTION WHEN YOU DONATE.    

PLEASE DO NOT MENTION THE EVENT IN THE MEMO TO AVOID PROBLEMS WITH PAYPAL...YOU WILL BE IDENTIFIED AND A TICKET AWARDED BASED ON YOUR HANDLE NAME.


AUDIT OF ENTRIES:

Throughout this event all NLG Member's participating shall have their "handle" name posted with the number of entries / tickets purchased.  Each individual member is required to verify their name and number of entries purchased.  NLG or Bettor Slots will not be held liable if no claim is made by the member within 24 hours of the date of the drawing.


CAN I OBTAIN MORE THAN ONE TICKET ???:

YES you can!!!  You all know how a slot machine works right?  The RND on the computer board reaches into the "hat" and pulls out a symbol for each reel....and why does the "BLANK" hit most often on the line over any other?  There are more cards in the "hat" with BLANK written on them than any other symbol.  If you want to increase your chances of winning...make sure your name is on more cards than anyone else's.  

IMPORTANT DATES:

Anyone that wishes to participate must obtain their ticket no later than 23:59 PDT (11:59 PM PDT), APRIL 19, 2013.  The actual drawing will occur at 15:00 PDT (3:00 PM PDT), April 20, 2013.  The drawing will be video recorded and posted on this site for all to see this same day later in the evening.

ODDS OF WINNING:

In our opinion...better than your State Lottery.  Actual odds of winning are directly proportional to the number of tickets versus the number of participants which cannot be determined at this time..


GOOD LUCK EVERYONE !!!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:



Q:  Does Bettor Slots receive any of the proceeds from this event?

A:  Zero, nada, none.  All proceeds go to NLG.


Q:  Does the drawing occur at the BettorSlots.com place of business?  Can we come and watch?

A:  No and Yes.  To insure there is no question about favoritism and because NLG receives all accounting information with each donation, I have requested that the draw occur at the NLG Headquarters.  The draw will be filmed and posted here for all to see.  In addition, the names will be pulled by GCMommie’s daughter or other volunteer.  If you want to stop by the NLG Command center to watch the draw I am sure that would be fine.


Q:  Can I stop by to pick up our prize?

A:  Of course and plan to stay awhile…we can tool around in the shop and play in the showroom some if you like.  You can also pick up your prize at the NLG Command Center.


Q:  Where will you ship the prizes to?

A:  Winners of the 1st and 2nd place prizes are responsible for the cost of shipping expense to their local terminal or residence.  I will ship to Canada, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia.  I will not ship to Alabama, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Wisconsin.  All other States I will ship to provided you have a current DOJ.  If you live in any other location, you might consider picking up your machine at Bettor Slots, or picking up at NLG Headquarters, or gifting your prize.

A#2:  Winners of the 4th, 5th, and 6th place prizes will have their prize shipped free of charge within the 48 continental states.  We will also ship to worldwide provided the shipping expense is paid for my the winner minus a $10 credit.


Q:  Can I receive the cash equivalent of the prize value?  Are there any substitutions available?  Can you sell my machine and then give me the cash equivalent? 

A:  No and No and No.


Q:   If I win First or Second Prize, can I apply my Bettor Bucks towards parts or anything else other than a slot machine?

A:   No, First or Second Prize must select a machine paying our competitive retail pricing. 


Q:   If I win 3rd through 6th Prize, do I have to buy parts with it or can I apply my Bettor Bucks towards a machine?

A:    Yes, you can put your Bettor Bucks towards the purchase of a machine.


Q:    Will Bettor Slots or NLG pay for the freight of my machine to my home?

A:    No, the winners of the First and Second Place prizes are responsible for either picking up the machine or paying for their own freight expense.  However, they may apply their Bettor Bucks towards the cost of freight.  For example, if the First Place winner selects a machine and their total cost is less than 1,500 Bettor Bucks, then the cost of freight would be free.  Another scenario might be that the winner of the First Place prize selects a machine and that combined with their freight expense is more than 1,500 Bettor Bucks...in that case the winner would responsible for the cost of whatever the overage is.



Good luck and lets have some fun !!!


Jim

Thanks for the update Jim. The rules are clear and simple. Again a big thank you to NLG and Bettorslots for your time and effort put into this giveaway.

These pics have me drooling!  Especially the Sea Monkeys!  Would love to have that as my first video machine!  I actually had some Sea Monkeys (brine shrimp) as a kid!  What a great bunch of marketeers those guys were!  Ordered them by mail out of the back of a Johnson Magic catalog or something similar.  :)

Those are some nice games.  :3- :3- :3-

Hi everyone! :88-

First, I want to apologize for the tardiness of my audit posting. I've been without an internet connection for a couple of weeks and my old laptop battery doesn't last long so my McD excursions have to be brief. :96-

I will be posting my "ususal" audit thread posts below Joey's posts in the audit thread shortly. I have one discrepancy with Joey's numbers but we'll get that sorted out.

Please note that my numbers only include donations as of last Saturday (3/9), so I would ask those of you who have donated this week to please be patient.

Thanks,

StatFreak :31-

Yeah, that's true enough this year, but I come cheap. :200-

.

BEAUTIFUL machines, Jim!

Knagl....the counter at the bottom of your posts is depressing  :279-  :279-  Can we fix that ???  :97-  :97- Let's set a new goal !!!

Weekend BUMP  :61- :61- :61-

Less than a month left !!! Don't miss out on the opportunity to do something you should do anyway and at at the same time great odds of getting something in return !!

Another fun week in the Bettor Slots shop....



And AGAIN the fine print....our stock changes DAILY so we cannot promise any particular machine but will do our best to make the winners VERY happy  :61-

.

.

Weekend bump.... :118- :118- :118-


Time is getting close for the drawing....have you got your tickets ???

Heh. There's actually been a few trips since I last updated that thing. I should just remove it from my profile.

LOL "Can we set some new goals?"  :97-
UPDATE the Bucket list!! :72-

Weekend bump  :61-   :118- :118- :160- :161- :161- :161- :161-

LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LEFT !!!

Wow.. Only took me 6 weeks to remember to buy a couple of tickets.. :72-  

I got mine.

Well not very many donated, for some reason I get the impression there are some really cheap ASS folks on this site !! They can find the new topic button to get their machines fixed but don't have a clue as to where the donate button AT THE BOTTON OF EVERY PAGE is..  Don't take my word for it just look at the audit thread.  OK I did it for you.

2010  66 members  123 tickets
2011  87 members  255 tickets
2012  62 members 201 tickets
2013 37 members  101 tickets

 :wtf1-  Not a very pretty picture is it ??   OK I know there are 13 days left to get your tickets.  Oh and I'll be at the drawing.

I just don't understand fellow makes a five dollar donation four years ago and he's set for life.  Couple of years ago I tried to get Joey to sell me this site, he wouldn't do it, he said I would make to many changes to it. My ansewer was  " you bet your ass I will " new motto will be put up or shut up. I think I need to talk to him again and convince him he doesn't need this headache.

 :96- For once Buzz we are in agreement.  Well over 3,000 members and only 37 participating to date.  Pathetic.  :60-  It's really upsetting to me and I take it personally.  

I've done my part.  I put up the prize pool and I am going to go through the physical, mental, and financial effort to deliver.  It's time for THE MEMBERS to do their part and start knocking on doors.  Start sending PM's and encourage everyone else.  Organize a group to send out PM's to every member on the site with detailed instructions on how easy it is to donate.  And especially to those members that use this site as a profit center to sell their stuff.

The prize pool I put up is $2,650 +.  If I don't see that number tripled in donations by the end of this, I may decide to make this the 4th and FINAL Bettor Slots Giveaway.  I will just rip a check to NLG instead every year ....much easier for me and less aggravating.  

How do I buy tix?  Sorry...I come here occasionally, but will more in the future.  I am a slot tech at a 1400 machine casino.

Just go to Reply #43 at the following link for instructions.  Thanks for helping out the NLG Admin's and best of luck.

http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=22284.msg181839#msg181839 (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=22284.msg181839#msg181839)

It's very easy... Just click on the PayPal link at the bottom of the home page, and for every $25.00 donated equals 1 entry... Just make sure you put your user name in the memo... Just remember please don't say or mention raffle in the memo..  I am planning on buying a couple more my self. Just running late this year. This is a great sight and what Betterslots is donating is worth every penny. The people here are wonderful and I hoping to maybe someday to be able to get out to the Southwest Desert and meet a few of them in person. I use to live in Tucson, but that was 20 yrs ago.  I'm proud to be a member here and I tell everyone I know about it. Keep up the good work, and I hope this helps to get a few more donations...

Gary

 :259-

Me too  :89- Just waiting till the 13th so it goes on on next months credit card bill. Wife says I spent too much on this one already :30-

I'll volunteer! :89-  I'm going to send the following message to members on the Members List starting on page 1 and see how far I get:

"Slot machine broken?  Got it working?  Bought a part?  Sold a part?  Isn't New Life Games great?
In the words of Janet Jackson, "What have you done for me lately?"
New Life Games is awesome, but it's not free.  It takes $$$ to maintain the site and pay for the space.
But check this out ... a single $25 donation this year buys you a ticket into a drawing with amazing prizes.
For details, go to http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=22284.msg177533

Ready to donate?  Good ... just go to http://www.newlifegames.net/donation.html
Make sure you type your New Life Games "User Name" in the comments. 
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY MENTION OF "ENTRIES", "RAFFLE TICKETS", "DRAWING TICKETS", ETC!
Just your NLG User Name will do.  Buy as many $25 tickets as you'd like (I bought 4).

Thank you for helping to make NLG a great site for everyone and good luck in the drawing!

Okay, so first, I can post to people faster than 30 seconds, so I've got the 30 second wait.
Now I hit the 10 PM's a day limit.

 :72-

Well, I tried.  I send the same message to 10 people.

Joey - if you can remove some limits for me, I'd be happy to send more PM's and encourage participation.

:Dave :88-

 :212-

I don't know of any fix that was given on this site that it did not deserve some sort of pay back.
Maybe you can't afford a $25 donation but you could throw in a $5 or $10 sometime. But the best
part, once a year Bettor Slots povides you a chance at great prizes for your $25 donation too.

Please re-think of the times you were helped to get your favorite machine going and it did not cost a thing.

Ron (r273)

 :259-

My advice instead of starting at the forum "member index" would be to instead to go recent topics under all the major index's like "S2000's" and "Classifieds", going down the lists of each thread, and speak to those that have gotten some help from this site in the past year.

PS~  10 PM's a day by a single member = 120 messages than can get out before the cut-off date.  Get 9 people to help you and that is 1,200 messages out.  Also, I just sent a PM to Joey to see if we can get the spam controls removed for a couple of weeks...I don't see this as spam.

I'll bet that almost everyone who is reading this post has needed and received some type of FREE help from one of us on this site. NOW it's time to show your appreciation for all the guys & gals that gave that FREE help. $25.00 is a drop in the bucket for what you get from this site, so cough up the cash and you might even be rewarded for stepping up. If this place were to go Bye Bye where would you go for your FREE help???

Thanks for all the FREE help I've received !!

Donation made!!!!

BOOM!   :172- x 3607

I either just made a lot of friends or enemies. :35-

Hey guys, I've been tied up with some other things for the last few months and have not had much time to be posting and missed the announcement. But I'm glad the PM was sent and will be getting in on this again.   :89-

<edit> Donation just sent (for 4)

You got a lot of people to get on NLG.  :244- :244- :244- :244-

Donation sent! 

Ford  I saw the list, I don't think Dave missed anyone.   Funny part is  the first name on that list was Capt Happy.  Dave even F/U and sent a message to Railroad and I know he's not going to make a donation.  Tony would have thought it funny too.

Important thing is he's getting response.

Awesome!!  Nice Work!!!  :244- :244- :244- :244- :244- :wa :212-

Railroad ... oops ... good memories, huh?  Good catch Buzz!

It took 2 posts, but I got all but 2 (they rejected).  Out of 3609, I sent 3607.  Like you said Ford, so long as we get the support.  I know I've learned everything I know from here and have 4 perfectly working slots thanks to this site.  Just this week, I made my Vision a multi-denom, something I couldn't have done without this site.  

:Dave

[add]In case anyone was wondering, I copied/pasted all of the users from User List (yes, one page at a time for all 73 pages) into Excel.  Then, I sorted by the number of posts in descending order (thus Captain Happy first), and then used some Find/Replace features of Word to add the quotes, commas and spaces to tidy up the distribution list.  When I sent, it choked right around RussellMD (not alpha, but by posts), so I had to make a couple more edits to the list and got the second round in the second post.[/add]

 DAVE . I'm in for 4 tickets . Just sent it . I have donated to this site sense i joined and have bought 4 or more ticket each year . I also donate every year on  or about the same time i joined each year  EVEN sent in donations for other members . My strategy was to donate on the 13Th as it was my join in date  Oct 13Th 2010 . NLG has been a great place to find parts / information and to get a good laugh from the cast of characters that inhabit this site . I have talked to many of you on the phone and have sent and read many of PMs . I hope to meet some of  you someday .  A Special Thanks  to BETTOR SLOTS  for all the GENEROSITY he has offered to the NLG SITE   . Good LUCK to all that have donated  P.B.

You guys are awesome!  I think I know who I pissed off (rightfully so) and I apologized.  Thanks everyone!

 :254-

Dave It wasn't Mike, I know him better than that. Matter of fact it's been a while since I talked to him but I think you and him now live in the same town.  If some dick head wants to play with his neg. button let his do mine because I could care less.

Good ol Joey, man of few words !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No it wasn't Mike ... not trying to start a war.  It's all good.  No worries.  Thanks to everyone.

 :259- and another :)

And another one

I had put my name in bucket a while back.  Have not seen the revised audit yet-- :103-.  PEG.

PM Sent

Hi,
I sent in 2 on Tuesday and one more today.  Can you confirm that they were logged?  For some reason, when i donate, paypal process the payment without giving me the option to post a message or memo.  At first i thouht it was because i was using an Ipad but it also happened on my desk top today.

Thanks again for offering this generous drawing.  And thanks to everyone for having this amazing website.

Lenny

When you log on to paypal there to the right is Special Instructions then below is "Your user name on the site?? add"
Press the "add" and the message box appears to enter your username.

I did that.  There has not been a new audit since the 2ND though .  Guess it has to be filtered thru--No prob.

Sorry, but that's because I don't have an internet connection. I processed the donations through the 7th yesterday evening and we had 46 participants and 140 tickets sold, but my laptop was out of juice and I couldn't post the results.  I asked Joey to send me everything to date - which he did - and I've got 40 more donations to process!! I'll get the update posted ASAP, providing that my laptop doesn't die before I can get the 40 done tonight.

Looks like a lot of members decided to wait until late in the game before joining in. :5-

Stat :31-

Well, I just finished processing all of the new donations, and naturally, my batteries are down to 18%. There are 42 new participants so updating the list will have to wait again.

Sorry.

I can tell you that we now have 79 participants and 198 tickets sold for a total of $4,950.00 as of yesterday evening.

I'll update the official list as soon as I can.

Thanks all,

StatFreak :31-

P.S. Everyone who had a concern and/or sent a PM has been accounted for. Thanks.

Thanks for all your efforts David  :131-  :131-  :131-

Joey  are we talking about the same Stat Freak ???  For 5 years I've been trying to find a way to shut him up, and now your trying to undo a good thing, shame on you !!!!

Hey, you've only been at it for 4 years.  :200- :30- (I met you in Feb '09.)

 David  What can I say, 4 years of torture sure seems like 5 years !!!!!!!!!!    :79- :79- 

I'd have guessed it seemed closer to 10. :88-

Were going to piss off a Moderator and he's going to have to delete a bunch of this BS.  How do you spell " HIGH JACKED "

Just entered.   Nice mtg Joey yesterday at Bullhead.  :244-  Doug

Good Luck in the drawing, "BUZZ"   :205- Doug of Fullerton

I just donated/entered...for the first time...finally!
I should probably donate a kidney for the amount of help I've had here... :131-

Ack  !!!!  Running out of time...Don't put it off and forget...might be too late when you remember....      :118-

Managed to get some sweet looking S2000's done this week....currently these are all available to the winners....good luck everyone!!!

Sorry for some of the blurry pictures...took these with my phone this time.

 Damn  I posted this in the wrong topic.  It's Hell getting old like R273 !!

   Just talked to Joey and he ask me, no he told me to post and ask how many of the members are going to be at the drawing.  Reason being I'm going to cook up a whole load of meat for Taco's and we have no idea how much will be enough. Oh and Ill bring a BIG jug of Rolaids/Tums.

I'll be there!  :133- If more people are coming, I can bring some soda (and beer if it's okay with Joey - probably not a good idea at a place of business, but I'm full of bad ideas).  :151-

Wish I could be there but Buzz will take up the slack for us old old people.

Ron (r273)

  I'm not " Old People "  I'm a senior citizen !!

While were on the subject, how come your age in your profile hasn't changed in years ? When I first started on this site we were pretty close to the same age, and now were 5 years apart.  :wtf1- Are you bribing Joey ??

I didn't see WOF among them.....LOL

I can't be there but will take some ant-acid for moral support.

A'ight, beeechez! I'm in it to win it!   :96- :200- :72- :97- :208- :279- :89- :71-

Sorry I can't swing by the NLGCC for the party, but I'm head down ass up trying to get everything ready for this trip to Portugal and Spain :277- :277-

I will , however, be monitoring things closely, so no funny stuff! :187-  1st and 2nd place to me, y'all can fight over the scraps.  :127-

Bill We will really, really miss seeing you, and if you believe that story I have a  CDS I'll sell you cause you will believe anything.

No no no, Buzz, that's

"I have a working CDS I'll sell you cause you will believe anything.".   :5- :88- :96- :208-

I'm finally in....running way late this year, even for me..
Its been a really crappy year so far!)  :30-   :37-

But at least I'm in..   :5-

Hell, it is Vegas, you can walk down the strip with a beer, more beer the better!
Wish I was not 4000 miles away!!  :222- :154- :253- :253- :222- :267- :267- :267- :267- :134- :134- :134-

Geography 101        Las Vegas is in the State of Nevada, Bull Head City is in the State of Arizona !!!! :az- :az- az_flag az_flag :192-


Dave  Joey said beer is OK in his shop on special  occasions.

Sorry Buzz, I stand corrected...that is what 4000 miles away and 53 years does to you.... :200-

But glad to hear beer is OK :198- :152-

Wish you could be there Tim! :198-  I'll drink one for you!

Actually Joey, I won't bring any alcohol ... just soda. I'll save it for the casino.  If anyone wants drinks, let's go across the river to NEVADA where you can drink anywhere anytime.   :72-

Yes, I agree..would be a blast...but I would have to change the beer I drink so Buzz did not know who I was..would just blend in and have fun.

Only kidding...Buzz would be the first member I would say hi to...if I saw him. He has been a great help to me and a great pain..but that is all appreciated and deserved.

For all that make it there, have fun and enjoy!! Wish I could, maybe one of these yearsI can make it happen...

Well we know it all won't be bad cause brichter going to be in Spain.  I hope one of those big white horses pisses in Bill's boot !!     :208- :208- I mean  :wtf1- Spain is open year round but we only have this drawing once a year.

Yeah, but the first week of this trip is business, so I can't bow out of that part.

My employer might just give me a  :132- look and a  :283- if I told them I was going to miss the conference, but I was still gonna fly over and back on their dime, and heck, since I was gonna be there, they could still pay for my first week's hotel, car rental, and food even though I wasn't doing any work!

 :208- :97- :72- :97- :208- :200- :5-

 Will it be a live feed drawing as before ??    Or  the Smoke and Mirror Type Drawing  :103-  P.B.

If I win, you know it was real  !! :200-

Nah, see my opening response: I'm winning #1 and #2. :187-

If anyone else wins, it was rigged!  :37- :37- :37-

You know what they say " You can't win if you don't buy a ticket . I optimistly don't  think i will win but i think this site is worth the cost of many tickets . So i try . P.B.

Kevin  I ask Joey to put me in charge of the drawing and would you believe he refused my request.  He said something to the effect that he didn't want it all F**k up. I wounder what he meant by that ??   :103- :103-

I guess I'm the only one that noticed that Joey's count down clock on the main page is off two hours. Maybe he did that on perpose because last year it took about two hours to upload the video to Utube.

 :103-  I think we should get an update of tickets sold before Sat.

mailing them to stat nightly now .. :)

If I'm lucky I hope Jim has a Denver Duck.
THANKS TO NLG & JIM @ BETTOR SLOTS FOR DOING THIS.  :244- :244- :244- :244-

 Would be nice to WIN !!  I would (KILL *** Disclaimer***  Note . This is only in humor  :279- ( JOKE) not going to get someone  :60-) for a House of the Dead IGame . P.B.

Glad you cleared that up for everyone :97-   

Good luck to all. Win or lose what we got from NLG was worth more than what we paid for chance to win.

What time is the drawing at?

My bad, already over :30-

And no winners message for me :8- :8-

20 minutes ago?  :129-

No winners memo for me either :52-
But still worth every penny for NLG. Thanks guys I can't wait till next year!!

Rich

Guys....I don't even know who the winners are yet ....we have to wait for the video to post....sit tight.

The official clock still shows over 2 hours to go.

When the F*** is 3 pm AZ time???

Currently the same as PST, so at the time of this post it is 3:54PM.... I guess that the countdown timer is having a little fudge factor given how slow it is to upload the video to YouTube! :279- :25- :30- :208-

Good Luck everyone!!!

Just got back home.  Had a great time.  And no matter what anyone says, Buzz really is a good cook - no tums needed!  Nice to meet Uniman and see Joey and family.  

Thank you very much to Bettor Slots for his generous donations to make this happen, to Joey and NLG for hosting the event and to Buzz for the great food.

The countdown clock says 35 minutes until the drawing.  :103- :103- :103-

Big shout out of thanks to Jim at bettorslots.  We were the second place winner this year, and got a beautiful game from jim.  Thanks, Jim, for your support of NLG, you are a very generous man.
On top of the game we won, of course we had to get a second machine as well.  that is what happens when the lights are left off at night, LOL's.

Here is my Diamonds and Devils S9000 enhanced machine and its finally up and running!  Also a HUGE shout out to Jim at Bettor Slots for delivering big time!  Thanks to Joey for running the site (and holding my game until I could pick it up) and to everyone who donates and keeps this site going.  I am so happy and honored to be the grand prize winner--this would have been the only way I would have gotten an Alpha.  Its home now and has made friends with all of my other machines and fits right in.  Here are a few pics and even a video of Diamonds and Devils in action.  I also received a topper with the machine but am looking for the plexi in case anyone has one for sale.  Enjoy!!

Hey Bill, just play the video with your eyes closed and imagine that

:122-  the machine belongs to you, is right in front of you,  :122-  and that some tall, beautiful, scantily clad woman you've never met  :122-  will shortly enter your home, hand you a cool tropical drink, give you a passionate kiss* and pay you that $514.25.  :141-  

When the video ends, lather, rinse, repeat.  :297-   :200- :97- :97-
