Overall result was a net win consisting of:
- Good wins on VP playing DDW and a little JOB. Hit the deuces twice at El Cortez. Minor losses at Vegas Club.
- Good luck and wins on slots at MGM Grand. VP machines pay tables (quarters) terrible there so spent some time playing slots (dollar machines) before our dinner reservation.
- Absolutely terrible losses on craps sessions. Lost on every session. By far, my worst LV craps sessions. No shooter made more than three passes.
Locations played:
- El Cortez for VP (DDW & JOB), craps (10X odds), and WOF slots (to use up my free play).
- Vegas Club for DDW.
- Casino Royale for slots [100X odds :-) ]
- MGM for a short but profitable slots session.
Changes to Database needed:
- El Cortez --- The listed DDW slant-top was MIA. I asked three EC personnel about the machine and they all said it was removed a few weeks ago. However, the two listed DDW uprights were still there.
- Tropicana ------ The lone listed FPDW had a NSUD pay table (4 OAK paid only 4 coins). Also, it was converted to tickets rather than coin payout. Thus, FPDW is now extinct on the Strip to my knowledge.
Other comments:
- Stayed at the EC. Price was right and I love the "old Vegas" atmosphere.
- Most people on the EC VP machines appeared to be playing Keno!
- Not many people played the new Bob Dancer machines. I played them twice (JOB) when the DDW machines were not available.
- The EC DDW machines are slower than I remember. I averaged less than 500 hph versus about 700 at Vegas Club.
- I have to get serious about perfecting my KB Jokers accuracy because of the continued decline in the number of DDW & FPDW machines on the Strip and downtown. Only other option is to stay at off-Strip/not downtown locations.
- The Craftsteak (sp?) restaurant at MGM Grand has the best steak that I have eaten in LV. But Ruth Chris still rules supreme in other places.
- People who get the 99 cent shrimp cocktails at Golden Gate and not give a tip should be ashamed of themselves.
- To Bob Dancer --- I wish that your classes were earlier in the week such as on Mondays or Tuesdays. I doubt that I will ever be able to attend a Wednesday class due to my trip patterns/lengths. Also, did you try to get EC to add FPDW to the Dancer machines?
- My "no royals streak" is still intact after over 100,000 hands. However, I believe that I am above the norm in getting the 4 deuces.
