What the hell, I just realized I am replying to a 2004 thread. No wonder it didn't compute. Please disregard my babbling! I apologize. I will pay closer attention from now on. This is embarrassing. lol

Ok, I found it. Here's how it went.
1-2-2-4-5-8-50-90-150-50-840
Returning 99.94, before the standard .10% cashback was added.
Plus, they had regular monthly bonuses. In those days it was a VERY reasonable play-through requirement. I don't know what Intercasino is doing now. But like I said, they changed that Double Bonus game to 9-7, back maybe in 2004 or 2005 I think. But it was still a great place to play. Very user-friendly. Very fast pay! I remember the "manager" was supposedly named Ryan Hartley. Whoever he was, he must have been a very smart guy who knew how to treat his players well.

[vpFREE] Re: Online VP
In the early days of online VP there was a VP program with an exploitable flaw. These games were identified and played over the net by autobots 24/7 and a fortune was made (and lost by those putting the games up). Would not surprise me if the ones licensing the program to those running the online casinos knew about the flaw and were the same ones playing them.

How can on-line casinos be "required" to do anything? Most are off-shore on an island. But we are gambling so just don't go on-line with eyes wide shut.

Studies have shown that accidental deaths occur only once
in 10 years for this particular ride.
Somebody died in an accident yesterday so you don't have to worry for
the next 9 years.

Judy and I plan to EAT at the Gold Coast, but we're more likely to PLAY at the Palms; just across the street.

Does anyone know if they are "required" to treat the pay table like vegas (ie. random 52 cards).
They could show an over 100% game based on the pay table, but in reality pay back 90% unless they are required to be random like vegas?
Am I on the wrong track in my thinking?

Well, thank you now...connoisseur of VP. I am not sure what "connoisseur" means? Is connoisseur like "King of the Hill" or can anyone be a connoisseur? Can all of us strive to be connoisseurs, of say Video Poker?
Getting to the point that "Tool" link is a bit more active since the last time I clicked it on vpFREE2. That Glossary link takes you to a lot terms and acronyms that were first summarized on vpFREE.
I had to see if the acronym "FITR" was included. It actually was on the seventh page in the Glossary. Kudos to vpFREE2.
I am a bit foggy, but I do believe the phrase "Fun In The Room" was coined first by Jean Scott. I don't know if it ever made it in to her published writings? It might have blossomed in the earlier days of vpFREE.
It might not be as widely known as the acronym NSUD, which is attributed to Skip Hughes, but could be on the par with APDW. It is something to be proud of when considering life's milestones...FITR!

[vpFREE] Majestic Star Points Expiring?
Last July, the Majestic Star sent info indicating that points were only good
for six months. I did not check myself today but somebody on the bus I
usually take there said that all points earned before 1/11/11 were wiped
out.
Can anybody confirm this, though next time I am there, I will look into it.
Neither my mom (platinum) or myself (access) got any mailings this month so
if they indicated this in the mailings, I would not have known.

12 occurs 1 out of 36
But not in EVERY 36 throws. Any stat-head out there want to calculate the odds
of that EXACT distribution occurring in one series of 36 throws?
