I know where thousands of over 101% quarter games are...in people's imaginations.

I know of a play where not only is there an inherent 104% return on the game itself, but once every hour, a unicorn materializes next to you and gives you a $100 bill. Where is that, you ask? Well, I can't tell you--it would destroy the play.

There are doubtless a number of hit-and-runs available that for short bursts of time, offer a large PERCENTAGE advantage, but in absolute terms, are not that significant. June's swipe promos at South Point and Coasts were a good case in point. If you played NSUD for the exact amount needed to qualify for the swipe/spin every day, you were playing at about 104%. This month, if you go to the M on Monday, manage to get the 3X points, and then play 9/6 JOB exactly long enough to get the buffet comp, then you'll be playing at well over 101% (depending on how much you value the buffet). You can hit the Hacienda during some promo periods and eke out 101.2% for a few hours. Et cetera.

(And by "inherent", I mean base return with perfect play + any earned freeplay/cashback at par, or comps at, say, 80% of par. I do NOT mean "mailers", as those vary wildly and thus are not a reliable portion of one's return.)
