WOMAN, 86, BANNED FROM THE CASINO BUFFET AFTER A 40-YEAR WINNING STREAK THEY COULDN'T EXPLAIN
WOMAN, 86, BANNED FROM THE CASINO BUFFET AFTER A 40-YEAR WINNING STREAK THEY COULDN'T EXPLAIN SILVER CREEK, NV — Ida Whitcombe, 86, was banned from a casino's all-you-can-eat buffet after management determined she had visited nearly every week for 40 years without ever once paying, using a comped ticket system nobody could trace back to its origin. comp records showed her name attached to free buffet vouchers dating back to the venue's original opening year accounting staff spent three days trying to locate the original authorization and found nothing Whitcombe reportedly kept a folder of every voucher stub, organized by year, "just in case" she allegedly knew the buffet staff by name across four different generations of employees casino records show no evidence she was ever a high-roller or loyalty program member of note Longtime employees say Whitcombe was simply considered "part of the furniture" at this point, with several staff assuming the free meals were some kind of grandfathered perk from decades ago. "We've traced comps back through ownership changes, through three different POS systems," said casino operations manager Trent Villareal, 14 years with the property. "We still couldn't find the paperwork that started this." Whitcombe was banned from the buffet pending a full audit of comp records dating back to the 1980s. She reportedly asked if the ban included the seafood night specifically. Forty years of free meals and nobody can explain how it started. Ida just kept showing up, and somehow, it worked.
