Absolutely. Before making an adjustment to add in natural quads that are part of 5K wins, the NSUD natural quad cycle is 644 hands; the FPDW cycle is 599 hands.
I believe Frugal Video Poker has the ability to distinguish between natural four of a kinds on wild card games.

Thanks for the link to the Bellagio slot hosts. I didn't know it existed. I'll report it to vpFREE2.
I did a bit of research into why "Someone keeps deleting all the slot hosts except Trina Donovan". It appears that the only one who was erroneously deleted was Kerry Kelly. He now has a different email address than was previously listed, so that could explain why he was reported gone if an email to him bounced.
All the others in the old vpFREE Bellagio host list are indeed gone and were correctly deleted from vpFREE2: Lesia Dupree, Mimi Morse, Michelle Rebar and Catherine Seifert.
Safenest will pick up anything you can part with and helps woman get a new start!

Card of the Day (COD) style promotions still can be found in Laughlin. Hit a designated quad and you get a bonus, if playing max coins and playing on your slot card.
But any Wild Card game, for some reason, has been excluded for joints on the river. The Pioneer rolled out a promotion for the Sassy Sue's Saloon for their 11 quarter coin-clunking Bally Gamemakers that goes against the grain, allowing Triple Deuces (99.9%) to qualify.
I use a frequency of 1/423 for a random quad on a Jacks or Better style game to ballpark a 100 coin bonus at .36%. In looking around the vast resources on the vpFREE links I could not stumble upon the value of a COD for a wildcard game. I don't think Winpoker can help me either.
A question is what does "Natural Four of a Kind" really mean on a Deuces Wild game? Can the natural quad have a deuce kicker or not?
So what is the ballpark frequency for Deuces games broken down into "save one of the pairs (FPDW/Triple Deuces)" or "save both pairs (NSUD)" for a random quad?

****
So did you play VP to get this surprise DIAD result? I too went several years between a Harrahs (CET now) visit, 1996-2004, but they found me in the system to issue my Total Rewards II card, no newbie sign-up.
Two related questions:
>
> 1. I believe my diamond status runs through March of 2012 ?;
Does notified mean they sent you Diamond Cards with a March 2012 date on them? Traditionally, HET made some fanfare about picking up new cards in April.
> 2. I was surprised to see that I now qualify for free rooms, including weekends, at upscale places like Caesers LV. I found this out by clicking on dates on their website reservations engine. Hypothetically, how long can I use the free room "offers" if I play little, or even nothing, during those stays? Will Harrahs drop me quickly, or will I continue to get free rooms through March 2012, no matter what my play level is? Does it matter if I stay on a weekend or on a weekday when rooms are usually cheaper?
***********
It is not clear if you are a regular visitor to AC needing a room, or are looking into the future for your next visit, way down the road? So no snail mail yet for you? It took about three months for me after doing DIAD, on purpose, in Laughlin before the mail kicked-in.
My DIAD was an experiment in January 2005. The offers kicked-in for March and peeked during the Summer months...tourneys with three course banquet food or outdoor shows. I booked several weekends in 2005. Other mailers wanted me to visit Reno, N.O., Rincon but never Phoenix Ak-Chin, my first choice. My Diamond comped room experience concluded at the Rio for Winterfest in December. They got maybe $5k in action on VP for the rest of 2005.
The specials and comped rooms dried-up, but back then I was good to visit the Diamond Lounge until April Fools, 2007. Ah, the olden' days.

PRESS RELEASE: Golden Nugget Coming Back to Atlantic City
February 14, 2011
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Houston, TX - Tilman J. Fertitta, Chairman, President, CEO
and owner of Landry's, Inc., parent company to the Golden
Nugget Las Vegas and Laughlin, announced today that Landry's
has agreed to buy the Trump Marina Hotel and Casino in
Atlantic City. According to Tilman J. Fertitta, "We are
excited to bring the Golden Nugget back to Atlantic City.
Our plan is to transform the Trump Marina into a luxurious
and exciting hotel and casino with the highest level of
service. All improvements are expected to be completed by
the end of this year." Naturally, the Golden Nugget will
honor all existing Trump Marina customer points and rewards,
not only in Atlantic City but also in the Las Vegas and
Laughlin Golden Nuggets.
Pending regulatory approvals necessary to complete the
purchase, Landry's plans to immediately make exciting and
dramatic changes to the property and transform the
hotel-casino into a Golden Nugget resort destination in the
upscale Marina District next to Borgata and Harrahs.
The new Golden Nugget, the only casino with a full service
marina, will continue the transformation of Atlantic City
into a premier resort destination and feature a number of
Landry's award-winning restaurant concepts including Chart
House overlooking the huge marina, Red Sushi, Lillie's Asian
Cuisine and Noodle Bar and the nationally acclaimed Grotto
Italian Ristorante and Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse.
The entire property will be updated with a fresh modern look
to include new bars and lounges with live entertainment,
stylish retail offerings and totally updated rooms and
suites. The high energy Rush Lounge and a unique new After
Hours will complement the new spa, poker room, race and keno
room, improved showroom and the innovative H2O Pool and
Lounge, which will introduce all season hot tubs and fire
pits to deliver an exhilarating experience unlike anything
else available in Atlantic City. The updated rooms and
suites will provide luxurious accommodations for the Golden
Nugget guests.
The Golden Nugget has strong brand recognition worldwide,
and especially in Atlantic City where the Golden Nugget
Atlantic City operated a casino-resort from 1980 to 1987.
Since Landry's purchased the Golden Nugget Las Vegas, they
have invested more than $300 million to renovate and expand
the property, continuing it as one of the top hotel-casinos
in Las Vegas. The centerpiece of the Golden Nugget Las
Vegas is The Tank, a unique pool and shark aquarium which
has been recognized as one of the top ten hotel pools in the
world by Forbes Traveler and top ten most extreme pools by
The Travel Channel. This stunning pool is open year-round
for guests to enjoy. The most recent addition to the Las
Vegas property is the Rush Tower which opened in late 2009
offering additional rooms and includes a Chart House
restaurant featuring a 100,000-gallon tropical aquarium, and
high-end retail shopping.
The Golden Nugget Las Vegas is home to hit poker shows,
Poker After Dark on NBC and High Stakes Poker on GSN, and
also hosted a variety of reality television shows on TLC,
VH1, Spike TV, and most recently was the setting for an
episode of CBS's hit series CSI. Landry's plans to bring
this same type of energy and notoriety to the Atlantic City
property.

Landry's, Inc., is one of the largest full service
restaurant, hospitality and entertainment companies in the

Hey Frank-
didn't you have a cocktail waitress lined up for one of your shows?
I looked at your site and it is gone.
That's one I was looking forward to.
I play 9-6 in AC. With welfare checks, food comps, hotel rooms and other offers it is easy to get back over 100%.
AC is great for recreational players. If you are looking to grind out a profit you need to head west!
