We used to get this old couple in the casino I worked at that were always trying to scam free drinks. We called them "The Chicken People" because, according to their own admission, had multiple chickens that ran freely throughout their house like pets.
They both used to sit at the bar and try to scam drinks. Like I said in the Bud Light B*tch post, we had a $10 minimum with max bet policy for comping drinks. When they learned they couldn't get a drink with a dollar or two in the machine or only playing a nickel at a time, they tried putting $10 in and playing the max bet, ONLY when we were near by them. If we walked away, they'd go back to a single nickel, if they even played at all, while drinking their beers. When that no longer worked, they got high tech.
One would sit at the bar and the other would be out on the casino floor somewhere, usually at a penny machine. Each one of them had a walkie talkie in their hands.
When our cocktail waitress would head out to the floor, the one sitting at the bar would alert the other to start playing to make it look like the other was abiding by our policy.
We always suspected that's what they were doing, but couldn't prove it until we went out down to Radio Shack and bought similar walkie talkies. After a few attempts to figure out what channel they were on, we were able to catch them red handed and kick them out. They were officially banned from the casino.
Their response? They picketed us with signs that said "*CH's Casino* unfair. Try our friends at *Other Casino*" That ended up getting them banned from the other casino.
