Great Deal!!!!!    :244-

Any idea how much per entry???   :103-

That guy in the red shirt jinxed me last year!  :37-   :97-

This should be a yearly event as it is a win-win for all concerned. I know of another "contest" where a nice ham rig is given out each year and the charity gets support..........not to say NLG is a charity.

Hey everyone, :88- :88- :88-

First, Thanks to Jim at Bettor Slots once again!!! :244- :131- :244- :284- :293- :285- :291-

Second, Thanks in advance to all of our members :3- :89- :3- for their support of the raffle (and other support!) which helps support NLG in many ways like hosting & associated expenses, helping with the Annual BBQ, etc., etc.. :284- :293- :285- :291-

And finally, I heard a rumor that Last Year's Grand Prize winner, Thor777, is supposed to come to the NLG Command Center this year to draw the winning tickets!!! :103- :103- :103- (Did anyone tell him?? I know that rumors get started in weird ways, but this one must be true now as it is on the internet here on NLG!)  :72- :97- :72-

P.S. MORE DETAILS COMING SOON!!! This year's Prizes are going to be really exciting!!! :71- :71- :71-
 :92- :185- :185- :wa :136- :94-

Are you guys suggesting that thor777 is ineligible to win again this year? :103- I think that he should be able to buy tickets and try to win again just like anyone else.  JMHO.

Stat :31-

Excellent!  Jim is the man!  I hope there will be "minty" items and/or a Mummy kit for ME to win.  ;)

SECOND ANNUAL      BettorSlots.com (http://BettorSlots.com)    GIVEAWAY


 :wa


WIN ONE OF THREE SLOT MACHINES and MORE !!!!

Guys and Gals,

Once again it's that time of year when I start to think about giving a little something back to the NLG management of this site that I have come to enjoy so much and depend on.  It's tax rebate time so why not give a little back?  Many do not realize the time and expense it takes to operate a site like this.  I make new friends on here every week and have learned so much….its priceless to me and my company.  I am sure a lot of you feel the same. 

It's hard for me to believe that almost a year has past since we did this.  I think it was a lot of fun for everyone...for sure it was for me.  Although I could make a donation the old fashioned way by clicking the button at the bottom of the page….well…what’s the fun in that for everyone?  What’s always on my mind is that I would like to give something back to the NLG community members…my friends.


EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:

We will be giving away several prizes to those that participate with a Grand Prize of a fully decked out and detailed PREMIUM slot machine with FREE SHIPPING.  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.


HOW TO GET A RAFFLE TICKET:

Simply make a $25 donation to NLG  :204- :204- 


AUDIT OF ENTRIES:

On at least a weekly basis the NLG Member "handle" name shall be 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 machines 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 12:01 AM PDT, APRIL 14, 2011.  The actual drawing will occur at 4:00 PM PDT, April 16, 2011.  The drawing will be video recorded and posted on this site for all to see as the event took place.

ODDS OF WINNING:

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 .

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 9 year old daughter.  If you want to stop by the NLG Command center to watch the draw I am sure that would be fine.


 :5- ------------------------------------------------------  :5-



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 game room some if you like.  You can also pick up your prize at the NLG Command Center.


Q:  If I live outside the Continental U.S. can I still receive my prize?

A:  Sorry, none of the prizes will be delivered internationally or outside of the Continental 48.  Canadian and Alaska deliveries are possible at additional costs to be paid by the winner.


Q:  Where will you ship the Grand Prize to?

A:  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 gifting your prize and putting it up for a silent auction here on NLG to someone that can pick it up or receive it in a legal State and donate the proceeds.


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.



Good luck and lets have some fun !!!

Other than that little glitch....awesome giveaway Jim!!!! :136-

Jim  Thanks a lot, if you need any help I'm willing.  Before I forget, unless Joey moved since last weekend   He's in Arizona, not Nevada

WOW!  Three machines this year!   :244- :244-  Thanks for your generosity Jim! :3- :131-  Now if I can only win one of them  :5-

Thanks guys...corrections made.  Truth be known I'm fighting the flu and my head is spinning at the moment.   :125- Let me know if you see anything else that looks off.  I made several changes to last years format trying to fix some things from before.

Jim  you better not die, I just bought 4 tickets.      :99- :99- :99- :99- :99- :99- :99- :99- :99- :99- :99- :99- :99-

 :92- :92-

I'm trying to think of which member I'd like to see win......... (other than myself)



so many good choices....

I plan on being in the raffle--------------------- :96- :89-.   B.

Thanks Jim, your the best. Thanks for being so generous.
Hope you get over the flu.
When I win I'll let you know what machine I want. (fat chance of that with my luck)
Ford

Never say never Ford....I am pretty certain that last year I got PM's from at least 2 if not 3 of the winners, including the grand prize winner, excitedly saying more or less "I have never won anything!!!".....so never say never.

Let's talk odds here for a moment.  Last year we had 123 tickets, but several members purchased several tickets to improve their odds.  In reality there were only 66 members out over 2,000 that joined in (ridiculous number).  Anyway, for the Grand Prize last year you had a 1 in 123 chance of winning.  If you bought 2 tickets you had about a 1 out of 61 chance of winning and for many that bought 4 tickets you had a 1 out of 30 chance of winning a slot machine.  Those are damn good odds already.

So what happens this year with 3 machines offered and a member can only win one prize?  I would say everyone that participates has a great chance.  And even if you don't win...who cares...it went for a damn good cause.

I'll drink  :154- :253- :151- to going to a good cause.
What ever we put in we'll get way more back in information.
Ford

Those 4 don't count...Contest starts tommorrow :96- :96-

what do you have to do to obtain a ticket?

HOW TO GET A RAFFLE TICKET:

Simply make a $25 donation to NLG.  :204-  :204-  you MUST include your NLG Member name.

Bought my first of many tonight, And I live in a state he can not ship too!!  :25- :25- :25-

But I have neighbors in legal states :3- :3- :3-

Come on all !!! Buy Buy Buy !!! :137- :137- :137-

 Im in for two tickets

DEAR  PAYPAL............  :59- :59- :59-

WE HAVE REMOVED ALL REFERENCES OF US USING YOUR SITE FOR SELLING OR BUYING RAFFLE TICKETS..
 

THANKS JOEYLC

I just talked to Joey. The above letter is a copy of the one Joey received from Pay Pal.  Seems we can't make any reference to a drawing when you make a $25 donation. Go ahead and make all the $25 donations you want and send me a PM and I will tell you how to get in on the drawing. Again do not make any reference to a drawing when you make a $25 donation.

Anyone with a brain can figure out it's all BS but were in Paypals school we have to play by their rules.

My email is in my profile.   Buzz

Instructions to enter the raffle/drawing/giveaway: :89-

1) Click on the "Paypal Donate" button on the bottom of any page on this site.
2) Click the "Make a Donation" button on the resulting page.
3) This takes you to the Paypal login page, with a place on the left side of the page to enter the amount. Fill in the amount ($25), click the "Update" link. Enter your Paypal username and password, this takes you to the Payment page.
4) Under "Special Instructions" heading at the top of the page,click the "Add" link next to the sentence "Your User Name on the Site ??" Type your name in the box that comes up, click "Save".
5) Choose your payment method and click the "Pay Now" button.

That's all there is to it. Do not put the word "Raffle" or "Drawing" anywhere, there is no need to do this. If you make a donation of $25 or more, you are automatically entered in the drawing. The only place you could screw this up is if you don't enter your NLG username in step 4. :96-

I just did it twice, it's really easy, the money goes to a cause we all support, so give til it hurts, then give some more! Those are some sweet prizes, and you know you want to win! :200- :88- :5- :3- :72- :72-

Yeah, but you'd have to get them all up here, and I have work tomorrow.

Hey, here's an idea: If you put them on an open trailer, you could drive up here and back and they'd be clean as a whistle, with all this rain we've been getting.  :89- :79-

Ron (r273)

Maybe they will have a June wedding!!    :79- :79- :79-

Tacman is  just pissed that his new boss is one of my best friends and now he will have to come over and clean my pool with no comp time :200-

I think it's time for audit update so we see how many tickets are sold.

I haven't received any new data from Joey, but I'll update the list as soon as I can. Joey has some offline things to deal with, so it might be another couple of days.  :88-

Hey Ford Stat just posted one a few days ago I think its in a different thread

Tacman is one of those FBI dudes FYI and He is probably just "Lingering" waiting on a slip-up to make a move----------- :208- :279-.  B.

Well, haven't had much time to post since I've been following a certain someone around waiting for a slip-up to make my "move".  :79- Thanks Barry, I'm sure to get all the good deals and a lot of unanswered PM's and emails from your post!  :5-

 Dan (tacman)

Hey Stat,

Thank you to ALL at NLG & of course a special thanks to Joey  :244-

Thor777

COME ON PEOPLE. THIS IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE.
SKIP EATING OUT 1 TIME AND BUY A TICKET. YOU WILL GET MORE FROM BUYING A TICKET THEN EATING OUT.
I CAN NOT BELIVE THAT OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE ON HERE MORE DID NOT BUY A TICKET.
FOR YOU GUYS THAT ARE GUESTS. BUY A TICKET & YOU WILL BE A CONTRIBUTING MEMBER. NOW THAT'S A GOOD DEAL.

Only problem is: I don't eat out.... :96-

Then rent 1 or 2 less porn movies

 :72- They're free on the internet!  :96-

You would know. We'll have to find something you can give up.

I'm waiting for my income taxes to come in... :96-

Bunker have you given any thought to maybe interrupting your internet connection for a couple of months and donating those fees.  I think that might be a WIN WIN for everyone !!!!!!

Just to let everyone know, I should be getting the next batch of payments from Joey on Friday. Stay tuned...

What a GREAT site. Informative and friendly!. I have only been here a short while but have put in for 4 entries.
I hope I did it right...... :25-

Folks,  Guys and Gals.  This is a GREAT time to contribute to a great site.  I've been here for a little while and this makes contributing more fun--And it goes to keping this place going.  Only 25 bucks for a buy in, Your badge changes to green,  You may win something very cool,  And you EARN the respect of myself and everyone else here by being a contributing member.  I would like to win--would you--?.  This is not a rigged deal here.  Anyway's Hope more enter (I bet some do not want that-- :97-).   Some members are MIA and I look forward to their return here.  ---------I was not told or influenced to state the above,   Barry.   By the way,  Excuess the grammer,  I once had a translator here----------- :25-.   :200-.

Agreed.  It's always a great time to donate towards the website's hosting bill, but thanks to the kind contributions from Jim at Bettor Slots (and others), this is an even better time to donate.

Hi everyone.  :88-


There seems to be some confusion about how to donate for the drawing, so I thought it might be a good idea to make a few suggestions.

• During the drawing period, I will credit each member 1 ticket for each multiple of $25 donated, unless you specifically ask not to be included. If that is the case, please send Joey and me a PM (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=1,40) after making your donation to let us know that you don't want any tickets.
  
• Please don't indicate that your donation is for the drawing when using that "online paying service", because they've told us not to.
• You would be doing me a BIG favor if you simply send one donation for the total amount that you want to give instead of sending several $25 payments. I promise to divide by 25. :200-
  
• If your e-payment email address doesn't match the email address you use on NLG and  if you're not sure if I know your real name, then put your member name in the memo. Otherwise, it's appreciated, but not necessary.

Thank you to everyone participating for donating to NewLifeGames! :244- :244-  :wa
And thank you Jim at Bettor Slots for donating the prizes for the giveaway!  :285-  :3- :3- :3-

Where?  :103-

I don't see the blue tag... :79-

 :208- :208- :208- :208-

Welcome to not being a freeloader, staz! :3- :3- :244- :244- :3- :3- :96-

Well, well, well..... it's about time you freeloader!   :97- :72-

aww thanks guys, i dont see a blue tag though? :103-

Probably because of this:


Give them a couple of days and they'll get it figured out for you.  :89-

Holy cow!! And Staz was SO close to becoming our next sole "purple member" name. That special privilege is reserved for the deadbeat  M :18- rs    -- uh,  "nice fellows" -- who get to 501 posts without ever donating a penny. We've only have two others in that -- um...  "distinguished" group, and neither are still members of the purple gang, although one cheated got lucky, and someone else donate on his behalf.  :5- (Don't ask, because I won't tell. :30-)

 :259- Staz  :3- :3-

Anal  :210- Alert! :96- :72- :72- :72-
Hey guys, now I know who's advice not to ask when checking the color gamut of my pictures!  :200- :208- :208- :208-

The distinguishing characteristic color of the "Contributing Member" badge is GREEN.

 :214-  Although the text of the word "Contributing" and the color bar for the word "Member" on the second line are indeed blue, that is true for just about every badge we have. It's the badge frame and text of the second line that are different colors for each badge and which distinguishes them. :5- :30- :30-  (Technically, the Admin, FAQ, and Staff badges are slightly different, because they have red text on the first line, and the Staff badge's second line is different to distinguish it from the other senior badges.)

Make me a deadbeat badge

Global deadbeat  :97-

No but really, I'll spring for some money after the drawing, I don't want to win Thor's machine  :30-

Here's the purple badge.
For anyone holding there breath.

Blue is non-contributing, Green is contributing, gold is a contributing green member that got voted to be gold or knew joey or close family very well.  Purple is,well a non-contributor with 500 posts I guess.  And Grey is-- :103- I seen those before but forgot-- :25-.  We all should know what red is.  B.

I see a gray is "unknown" member?.  Guess they are waiting to clear customs????????.  B.

I didn't read the whole thread, but if one wants more than one entry should they do them individually, or is all at once ok? I have one pending somewhere, but may want to increase my odds.  :91-

I think stat or one of them said about a week and half ago they would "sift" and credit the members accordingly.  I think they liked the all at once giving,  Good question but I remember reading that about the credits for the raffle (I call it a raffle)-B.

Please send one large payment for the total that you want to contribute. It makes my life a lot easier.

Thanks. :88-

But FYI, freeloading is one word. :96-

You were up on that one stat,  Perhaps YOU are a freeloader------------------- :208- :208- :279- :97- :72----------Barry.

Absolutely.  :96- 

 :31-

P.S.  Please pardon me while I do some more freeloading, as there are 5 pages of old classified ads that I need to move to the Archives -- one at a time. :47- :25-   :208- :208- :208-

I sold some things on eBay so I bought another ticket.

Jim,  There was no reason to pull willy wonka into the equation here. Actually it is one of my oldest girls favorites.  "come with me, A world of fasination---Etc".   The grammer/spelling is off for some reason again---------Probably the BL.  B.

That's one theme that I would like to see.....Willy Wonka in I-Game (Unless it already exists).

I would actually like to see it as well.  I would like it for "sentemintal reasons"  B.

 :61- Well better later than not at all...I'm in for a couple.    :279- Of course "when" I win...I don't know where I am gonna put another machine...  :30-
but I guess I can throw some of the furniture out!  :97- :97- :97-

I'm in the same boat. If I win, I don't know where I'll put it... and I'll have to buy a stand too! :)

I participated simply because the money is going to support an amazing website and forum.

I thought "cheap bastard" was different than freeloader!

 :79- :79- :79-


 :92-

I can not belive that out of all the people that use this site no more got tickets.



You can have Jim ship it to me if you don't have room.

Ok Guys and Gals, :186- :186- as we are only two weeks out from the drawing :94- now, Joey and I would like to see if we can get a head count of all that will be attending. We would like to see how much food we need to get for the day. Mom and I are talking about maybe :BBQ- ribs and chicken  :BBQ- , and dad is gonna make his famous home made potato salad. :103- :103- If you're not sure if you'll be coming :103- :103- , please atleast give me a maybe, that way i will pencil you in for food too. We would rather have too much, and not enough. Thank you to all that have participated. We love ya all.  :244- :244- :244- And remember, it's all of you that make this such a great site.  :3- :3- :3-
 :136- :136- :136-

No can do... dont count on me to be there.....

I'd love a chance to get out to the West coast but it's a bit far for me...lol
I wish the players the best of luck and will eagerly await a video of the drawing shebang!
Can you send me some chicken please?  :96-

I will not be able to attend.  Thanks for the invite, though.

George  Did you see the picture of me that Joey posted  ?????????????

 NOW every one  I mean everyone knows, I on occasions wear a bra and shave my legs. I'll never be able to show my face at the command center ever again, THANKS Joey, great job for F/U my reputation.

 :61- :31- ,You guys were afraid to respond to The BRA'd BUZZard...... Think of what today is! :208-

CH :95-

 I guess the Ol Broad went to work so my April fools didn't work.    :8- :8- :8-

The people I have meet from this site know that can't be a picture of me, I don't shave my legs !!!    :60- :60- :60-

Yes George I will be at the drawing, if for no other reason than to just to get on your nerves.  :265- :265- :265-

Unfortunately, I'm out for this trip.  :60-

I'll be down to pick up my new slot machine a couple days after the drawing, though. :89- :71- :200- :72- :97- :208-

I will not make it. have fun you guys.

Sorry britcher, I talked to Jim and he has it packed up ready to ship to me.
Ford

Enjoy, Bunker!  :169- :169- :114-



Georgia, unfortunately I won't be able to attend the drawing. Buzz can have my Rib.  :200-


Stat :31-

There's an Adam and Eve joke in here somewhere...



Wish I could attend. Maybe some day.

I am going to win it. Since I am the underdog!

Well FOLKS  if you don't have your donation in for the drawing, your running out of time. I just talked to Joey and the cut off date and time is Mid night Friday the 15th.

I probably won't be able to make the drawing, and BUZZ is correct, TIME IS RUNNING OUT.... The deadline is looming, and unlike this years TAXES there is no reprieve until Monday! :8- :37- :8- You can probably guess what I am working on!!! (TAXES SUCK!!!)
You can not beat the odds on this drawing, even if 100 more people donated!!! You will never see these odds in Vegas!
GOOD LUCK AND THANKS TO EVERYONE!!! :244- :244- :244-

CaptainHappy :95-
:admin-

I CAN'T BELIVE THAT OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE HERE AS OF LAST AUDIT ONLY 71 DONATED.
WELL THAT MEANS MY CHANCES ARE BETTER.
FORD

Sorry guys I will win this year. But I wont be able to attend this year. Have a great time with the drawing.

Where does one find this audit list?  I would like to confirm my donation.

Thanks!

I think the grand prize winner will be the one with only one slot machine.  (me...?)

On another note - can everyone be PM'd with the number of tickets we have in the pot?

Just go to this link fellas.

http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=11673.0 (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=11673.0)

How does one buy a ticket for the drawing?  :128-
I forgot how I did it last year... :47-

Instructions to enter the raffle/drawing/giveaway:

1) Click on the "Donate" button on the bottom of any page on this site.
2) Click the "Make a Donation" button on the resulting page.
3) This takes you to the login page, with a place on the left side of the page to enter the amount. Fill in the amount ($25), click the "Update" link. Enter your username and password, this takes you to the Payment page.
4) Under "Special Instructions" heading at the top of the page,click the "Add" link next to the sentence "Your User Name on the Site ??" Type your name in the box that comes up, click "Save".
5) Choose your payment method and click the "Pay Now" button.

That's all there is to it. Do not put the word "Raffle" or "Drawing" anywhere, there is no need to do this. If you make a donation of $25 or more, you are automatically entered in the drawing. The only place you could screw this up is if you don't enter your NLG username in step 4.

I just did it twice, it's really easy, the money goes to a cause we all support, so give til it hurts, then give some more! Those are some sweet prizes, and you know you want to win!

Mark this is a copy/ paste  from Bills post

Ford Stick around awhile and you can see just how CHEEP some of our member are !   WHY make a donation when you can get the best help money can buy for FREE.

I'm going to make all our members a offer, and I bet I get very few takers.

To any member who buys 4 or more tickets for the drawing between now and midnight West coast time Friday April 15 2011   I will buy them one more ticket  In other words you can get 5 for the price of 4.   Any takers ??  PM me if your in on this deal and I will check with Joey when I get to the command center Saturday morning. ( I have to go, I have the video camera I borrowed from Ashyron )

Buzz I'll buy 4 tickets if you ship me 3 slot machines... deal?

Well, I'm not being so presumptuous to impose minimum donations to this event,  :30-  but I would highly encourage members old and new to participate, if possible, even if its only for one ticket.   :3- It goes to a great cause for all of us.  :89-

 Dan (tacman)

 :285-  I just took your deal Buzz!  :293-  :72-










( listen...you don't have to buy an extra ticket for me, that's okay...lol )

Thanks Mark  but a deal is a deal

          Buzz (aka Mr presumptuous )

If you take a look at the home page under "Last 50 Posts"....I think I count 9 or 10 names getting help at this very moment....the names are BLUE.  What does Blue mean again  :103-

Buzz, Just took you up on your deal. Cant turn down a BARGAIN! :285-

OK Jim I will be the GOAT

My definition of a blue member that has been on this forum for 90 days or longer or has 25 post or more, should be called a "FREE LOADER"

To all you new members please let me explane. When you first join our happy group, your name will be in Blue and will remain in Blue until you make a donation, then your name will change to Green. Donations are requested but not required to be a member of this forum.

All of the above is the opinion of the poster (me) and in no way should reflect on New Life Games , the Web Master or the Mods. It is the opinion of one ol Bustard that doesn't care who he pisses off. ( there David/Jay neither of you need to post a book on how senile I'm getting !!

That's very interesting to read.  I never really understood what the Blue's and the Green's really meant.  So what we have is a serious and embarrassing situation for someone that is BLUE?  Because...well...you know...other member's may look at the profile and say "well there's another Free Loader"....and "I guess I won't bother to help them with information and my time this time" since they've been around for awhile bleeding the site without supporting it.

Hey you know here's a great idea I just came up with.  Would it be possible to have someones name that is GREEN slowly fade to BLUE over say a year's period from the date of the donation?  Because you know you could have someone in Green that made a $5 donation 3 years ago and hasn't done anything since?  Whatta ya say?

I'LL DRINK TO THAT JIM

That's still $5 more than the person who has never donated.   :71-

This is a free site.  I understand that it takes money to operate a web forum (I operate one myself), and I do my best to chip in at least once a year.  When someone like you (Jim - Bettor Slots) adds a fantastic incentive to make a donation, the decision is even easier.  I do think that "repeat customers" should pony up a few $$ to help out the site if they're getting help from it, but I am not in favor of a "suggested" donation that is essentially mandatory in order to receive help -- I think that goes against the nature of a lot of the members here who gladly help out without any intention of getting anything out of the deal.  That said, I've called out a member in the past who was running a business of selling slot machines and was getting daily help from us without donating to the site -- that's not right.  But, for the average home user, this needs to be a welcoming place that is open to anyone regardless of their knowledge level or financial situation.

While I don't know it for sure, I can't imagine we have a lot of very active "green" users who have only donated once and never again.  I could be mistaken, I guess, but I like to think that the ones who are using the site on a regular basis are also choosing to toss a few bucks towards it on a regular basis, too.

Great post knagl  :3-
I agree 100%

Tim

I agree 100% also with everything you said.  Of course this is a free site and it's built by guys and gals that that make it happen every day that offer their time freely.  For Joey and the Admin crew they offer up the funds necessary to keep running as well as a lot of time to administrate it.  The whole point of the giveaway is just to make it easy for someone to be reminded that their is some costs involved in running a site like this.  So if you are going to do the right thing you might as well have a chance to get something cool back on the deal.  With that said, knowing human nature, incentives, reminders, and goating is what it takes sometimes...just ask Jerry Lewis.  I don't condone either the larger donations although I know they are appreciated.  Personally I would rather see 300 $25 donations rather than 70 donations with an average of $75.  For me personally it makes me feel better about the whole thing just knowing that a forum with over 3,000 members that there are just that many that are that thoughtful.

On a side note, I realize there are plenty of members that make donations before or after the giveaway.  Many simply don't have room for another machine because the have 10 or 20 already.   :97-  Tim...you're a good example...where the hell ya gonna put it???  If some of you are on the fence about it for that reason...you always have the option of donating the machine back to the site and a silent auction would be held to put the machine into the home with a little more elbow room.

Ok Its official once again Im in the Game.  Cant win if you dont play people.  Daddy needs a new slot.    More  importantly my money is going to a great site.  Small price to pay for the wealth of info available here
Thanks Again to Everyone that makes this site available. 

Ha...Very true Jim I have come to find out over the years
and in at least my case you go through stages being a home slot owner.
First being getting that first machine and buying it for way to much and buying from someone off ebay or company
that won't give you the time of day if it needs fixing which happen to me twice before I found NLG.

After finding NLG the flood gates opened for me I was bitten by the slot bug for sure
of course I asked questions did a lot of reading and learned so much here, which lead me to
meeting you for example and some other vendors that I have bought machines from and also saved me from making
those first mistakes.

Now I'm to the point that yes I have to many machines and all I do now is swap kits out
I donate a few times a year and try to help out members with first time progressive setups.

Okay enough of my rambling but I would like to say that I have never given any money to any site before NLG
but this site has it all and I have met some great people and learned so much and it still goes on today.
I wish everyone good luck and Thanks to Jim Bettor Slots and NLG for making it all possible.

Tim

Where is the list of who has bought tickets?  I seem to be having a hard time finding the link. Thanks Jeff

What time does the big event happy tomorrow?? :198- :199-

4 PM Arizona time

Now is it 2 hrs or 3 hrs difference from Eastern time to Mountain time now  :103- I  can never remember once we go through a time change back here :25- :25- You think I would know this because I live in Tucson for 20 yrs... :8-

You do the math     right now it's 6:10 Arizona time

I just took a look and you have your profile set on AZ. time

Oops my bad Buzz :25-, I guess I never realize it was something I could change on my profile, since the sight is out of Arizona.. By the way it 3 hrs difference now..  :284- The one thing I don't miss about living out there is listening to everyone I knew back here saying about Arizona's weather is that 100+ is not hot because it's a dry heat  :159- I'd tell them so is your oven, but you wouldn't keep you head in there for hrs at a time :279-

4 more plus that extra "Buzz Bonus" 1 equals 5 ...

That gives me 8 plus 1 "BB"

Sorry I cannot be there...

I'm in like Flynn...nothing like last minute!  NLG donation sent!

Jason

Hay come on people not to much time left all I know is that I have a few machines and the only reason they are working is the information from this site If I had a ? I got the answer if I needed a manual I got it If I needed parts I could find them here and Jim at Bettor slots has always taken the time to help me out I had 1 and just got 4 more A BIG THANKS to NLG & Bettor Slots

Oh crap, it looks like I missed the deadline as it is just after midnight! I was going to buy 100 tickets just to screw with buzz and skew my chances of winning! Oh double-crap..... I CAN'T ENTER OR PLAY ANYWAY AS AN ADMINISTRATOR OF THE SITE!  :279- :25- :30- :208- I guess that I will have to keep donating time and other things.

Thanks again for everyone involved from the NLG staff, to Jim at Bettor Slots, to Statfreak, to all of the contributors! (Buzz too, but he will probably kill me for mentioning him too!)

Good Luck to everyone. Wish I could be there! Only in spirit this time!

Can we stream it live?

WHAT a bunch of BS.  Who made up the rules ( or there any?)  "A Admin" ??? Folks he's just to cheep, don't let him S*** you !! Here's a quote from the movie Coming To America " I thought you were the KING"   :25- :25- :25-

Mark aren't you glad I will be off the site for 3 days??  Joey won't let me use his computer, his has a nuke button, let me in there and half the site will be gone!!!!!!!!!  :79- :79- :79-

Yea that would be so sweet if it were possible to do, but I'll settle for a youtube viedo like last years...

We don't have that capability. They will videotape the drawing, Joey will then have to convert and upload the video to YouTube and post a link on NLG. He'll probably also edit the main portal page, but don't quote me.  :96-

Currently uploading the video will be up soon. But Joey and Buzz have gone to the Casino, I think they may be getting drunk but who knows, and no Captain did not win...  :72- :72-

No s#^t (I hope) ! :5-  I guess they needed changing a change.  :200-  :30-   :208- :208- :208-

Will the link to the video be posted here or?

 :208- :208- :208-

My birthday is exactly two weeks from today... 

The Grand Prize would be an awesome early birthday present. 

The diapered video? You sick bastard!

I'm more deprived than depraved...  (Others have argued the opposite tho...)

Well,  It's official,  I WON it all------ :96-Just kidding. Getting ready to get cleaned up and wife wants to go to casionos--(finally)  Been about 7 months since we have been.  Her money I am along for the ride (and some betting)--- :200-.  Wish everyone well whoever wins this raffle-----Great site and people here--B.

That's an interesting phrase.  :5-  :71-     Deprived and Depraved -- the new "D & D"  :47-  :72- :72- :72-

:31-

Holy cow!   There are more members on this one thread than there are in the entire classified board  :186-  -- and that's saying something around here!
 :208- :208- :208-  :208-


:31-

It's nearly an hour after the drawing time and we're all anxious. ;)

Nothing better to do on a Saturday night? Just sit and wait.?

I gave my harem the night off.  :141- :127-  :200-  :279- :30-   :208- :208- :208- :208-

Joey and Buzz are at the bar editting the video, When they get it right it will be posted, may be a while depending on the number of drinks !!

ONLY KIDDIN !! :208-

Can you feel the suspense building???    :185-  :277-   :39- :39- :39-

Wow this might be a long wait if it's Happy Hour at the bar   :198- :151-

Please stand by, the video from the camcorder is HD. We tried to upload the HD video and you tube did not like that. So now we are re-rendering the video to a lower definition.

Cruel and unusual punishment !!!  I'm getting that " can't wait to open the presents on Christmas morning feeling " that I haven't experienced since I was 9 years old  :37- :37- :37-.......

<tap><tap><phhhhhhhhhhhhhh>  "Testing, Testing...    Is this thing on?" :128-

ahem.



:214- The collective "we" are experiencing technical difficulties and have temporarily lost the audio-video portion of our broadcast. We are working on the problem and your movie should be ready for viewing shortly. We apologize for any inconvenience and invite you to visit our snack bar for some tasty refreshments while we work tirelessly to bring you the results you so desperately crave.

Thank you. :182-

The management.  :257-

 :47- :182-  :99-



Translation:

Joey has made several attempts to convert and upload the video to YouTube but YouTube keeps hanging part way through. He has to reduce the size and the quality to the point where the size of the file is acceptable to the GoogleTube police. :68- :207-

It could take as much as another hour, since each attempt to convert the video locally takes 10-15 minutes followed by an upload attempt, which may work or hang.

Thanks,

<EDIT> HEY JOEY!! I thought you told me to make the announcement, but I love that video. The Musak is wonderful. :96-

Translation: We're having issues with the video... and you have to wait for the video to find out who the winners are...

Why not post who the winners are and then get the video up when it can be.

Man, I would like to have a nickel for every time I woke up and saw that Indian Chief's head test pattern on my TV..with that loud Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppp!!!  :97- :97- :97-

Brings back lots of memories... :208-  :208-  :208-

http://www.youtube.com/v/N04lGWaWicY?version=3 (http://www.youtube.com/v/N04lGWaWicY?version=3)

I tried that approach 90 minutes ago.  :5- :30-


:31-

WOW... I can't believe I just watched that whole technical difficulties video.. :25- :99-

Waiting for the losers to get in their last minute bribes !!


Only kidding  :79- :79- :79- :79- :79- :79-

Personally I would rather have the drama of the video....let's sit patient...although we may have to wait for Joey or Buzz to make another beer run.

Who won ???

Only The Shadow knows...

So far, YouTube's kicking Joey's ass.  :126- :208- :208-   ...But round 10's coming up. :79-




Bunker, the dog video is MUCH funnier than the first video you posted of the girl. :89- :3- :3-

Soooo... Youtube  3  Joey  0
 Come on Joey!! Teach those bastards who's in charge!! :282-

Somebody is telling there age. The Shadow hasn't been around for 40-50 years ago?   :72- :72-

Thanks again Joey, I'll keep it quiet until the official announcement comes out.  ;)

Jason

That's sort of true, but in John Gilliland (not sure of the spelling) on KSFO radio in San Francisco used to broadcast all of the old radio shows dating from the '30s through the '50s in the 1970s every evening, so I remember listing to The Shadow, along with many other radio shows.

And the winners are....

 :105-      TO THE LUCKY WINNERS   :136- :202- :202- :202-

I've got the post of the names ready in the Audit thread, but I'll wait a while to give everyone a chance to watch the video without ruining the suspense. :79-



Stat :31-

Congrats to the winners!!!  :3-

lol That was fun!
Congratulations on all the winners...which is everyone involved really!!  :244- :3-

As usual I do not win but I know I donated to a good cause.
 :105-
to the winners.

Were all winners - there is a core group of people that have become good friends.    I haven't found this type of interaction anywhere on th net on any topic

Congrats to the winners!!!  Great event everybody!  Oh and by the way, hit me up if you want to sell the MINTY strips and glass out of these machines!  LOL!!!

Jason

CONGRATS EVERYONE !!!!

 :136- :wa :wa :wa :wa :136-

That was fun, wish I could have been there! Congrats all winners.


And THANK YOU JIM FROM BETTER SLOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!  :244- :244- :244-

Congratulations everybody!!!!!

Congrats to the winners, and thanks Jim for your generous support of this great forum!  :244- :3- :131-

No doubt you all remember what Clarence said in "It's a Wonderful Life": 

"Every time a mouse clicks, a member gets positive karma."   uh, or something like that. :200- :208- :208- :208-

To which bar owner Nick replied:  "Get me! I'm giving out karma..."  to everyone on this thread until I get tired of it.  :25- (Hey, there are a lot of pages here :96-)


Stat :31-

how about every one that bought a ticket that is not a gold member becomes gold member as a consolation prize.

Hear hear!  What does Gold Member status give you again besides the cool jacket and more potential to become a babe magnet?

Jason

You get a jacket?

Guess that I won one of the IGT slot machine maintenance kits, I need to invest in buying an S2000 or the Plus... I've had my eye on a couple different machines for a while now, guess it's time to pull the trigger and buy it :264- :107- My old Bally's are fun but I need to move up and play with the big boys toys... :96-

Yeah, a gold metallic jacket with "I roll with NLG biatch!"  stitched across the back...or so I have heard.  ;)

Jason

hey!? I never got no stinkin' jacket?!  :208- :97- :72- :200-

Me either!   :25- :8- :37- :81- :60- :79-

Congrats to all the winners and remember, you are helping NLG, the source of all slot knowledge! I think collectively we have more information than all the manufacturers put together (shhhh, don't tell them).

"I became a moderator on NLG and all I got was this lousy Tee Shirt"  :5-  :200-  :208- :208- :208-

I would proudly wear one of those.

Jason

What he ^^^^^^ said!!!!!

 :105- :105- :105-

TO ALL OF THE LUCKY WINNERS, AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF NLG's GREAT MEMBERS!!!

You all make this site what it is and we would not be able to do it withought you!  :131- :244- :131- :244- :131-

:admin-

P.S. My lips have been bleeding for hours and hours as I knew the results early on and had to bite my lips and keep it secret while waiting for the official notification! Also how many of you watched the technical difficulties all of the way to the end thinking there was going to be an official video in it???  :5- :200- :97-

My darn internet has been down or slower than molasses most of the afternoon! Otherwise I would have posted hints!! :72- :72- :72-

Me too. (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/Themes/loonblue/images/post/thumbup.gif) The conversation was crying out for that joke, and I happened to have the shirt and the camera handy , soooo...  :30-

Actually, I have two of them. and I didn't get either one for being a moderator. I got one for getting the 5 millionth page hit back when we were still giving away shirts for those.

 :105- to all the winners and a special thanks to jim at betterslots... :wa

WoW!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Thanks To Everyone! I never Expected to win anything, but now everyone is going to get a second chance to win as I donate the grand prize to be auctioned off so some lucky nlg member.

Dan should take away all those bad things he said about you. Maybe as a show of sincerity he should accept a shave from the Dairy Queen Old Fashioned Shaving Bunnies.   :97- :97-

Hey, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while. Looks like they got you on camera, Ron. Love the description on the bottom, at least they got the last part right!  :208-

 Dan (tacman)

Wooooo! Congrats to everyone!!!   Once I'm done fixing up the nursery - I'll get back to the sas stuff we were working on.

Okay guys and gals...it's official.  Both the Grand Prize and Second Place Prize will be put up for a silent auction.  For reasons of either being in the trade or simply not having the room for it, and because of their incredible generosity, they have decided to offer up their winning machine to someone that can make a nice home for it.  This is second chance for many of you that had video poker and spinning reels in your dreams  :294-  :294-.

 :186-  Stay tuned, by Monday evening I expect we will have the rules of the auction figured out and have them published here for all to read.

Jim
Bettor Slots Company

What other website on the internet can you find that has 24-7 tech support with people that will go out of there way to help you with the questions you have and all they ask is for is a Donation to help
 With the cost of the site that so many use and on top of that a company like Bettor Slots with a guy like Jim that is willing to donate machines and other prizes to help with the cost of the site you don't find that to often and if that's not enough members like Buzz buy 4 get 1 free Know known around the world as the "Buzz Bonus" Well I have to get with Jim now and then make room for the new addition to my game room.



Thank you!!!!  NLG

    Thank you!!!! Bettor Slots

        Thank you!!!! Buzz
