The Flex Play machine in High Limits has had the Jacks or Better downgraded to 9/5 at all denominations. I think I've been fighting for that machine on point multiplier days for ten plus years now. I'll miss seeing those card backs change color every few hands. Caesars Palace is the only other place I ever remember playing Flex Play with FPJB.

[vpFREE] Re: XXXVP--slot game question
Those machines are all over, the bottom tops at 50$ I believe. Ive never seen the top bonus close to max. The bottom meter does so you might get a play once in a blue moon. I'd only play it if it was a
dollar or two from $50, but thats just me. If I was going to wong a slot progessive I'd try sex in the city if the Charlotte bonus was $50+.

Of course you are correct, I was burned out by 4:00 in the morning and not thinking clearly. I saw $1199, and my brain went into hibernation.
Anyway, I have done a lot of looking around on this trip. I just don't understand what these casinos are thinking. They deal a 9-6-4 Double Bonus game, and put a 1/10th percent meter rise. lol What's the purpose of even having a sign over them? "Jackpot $1019" and it never goes up. This is so stupid. The occasional player sits down, gets chewed up, and leaves. What does the casino earn when no one is playing? I see this all over Vegas, especially the Strip.

Re: [vpFREE] Re: XXXVP--slot game question
Mickey,
The major and minor jackpots were progressive, but each game has it's own two
jackpots, No linked progressives for the whole bank of machines.
I do know the games are made by Konami.

Are there any progressive meters on this game?

That's interesting. What about places like Miami Beach where some hotels pipe salt water directly from the Atlantic?

This is the whole point of putting a slat system in a pool. All chlorine is created from salt through electrolysis. Salt systems just give the ability to constantly create chlorine at a much more even level. Levels can often be kept slightly lower in these systems as well.

RE: [vpFREE] Re: XVP: NV makes another list/ retirement places to live
I'm turning 50 this August. Are there any communities that allow 50 plus? Also what are your favorite retirement communities? The most important aspect for me is golf.

[vpFREE] Getting a Diamond Card in AC Using Another VIP Card
Sorry to say that Harrah's (can't get used to saying Caesars)casinos in AC no longer will give a Diamond card if you show a VIP card from another AC casino. They did it last year, but I wasn't able to do it at Showboat & Harrah's this week. My wife was still able to get a Black Lable card at Borgata by showing a Taj Chairman card.
Good luck to all from Bob B.
[vpFREE] Harrah's St Louis Video Poker
We're planning a trip to Harrah's St Louis May/June and would like to know if the VPFree DataBase is correct. We prefer 1$ 9/6 JOB. We go to Harrah's New Orleans a lot and would be happy to share information. Thanks

[vpFREE] Re: XVP: NV makes another list/ retirement places to live
Sun City Anthem is a great place. Very quiet and peaceful. The only problem is there are only two roads getting in and out of there. The back way which goes to the M or Henderson airport(connects to ST Rose PKWY) and the dreaded Eastern way. It can take 20-30 minutes to get to the 215 when traffic is bad on Eastern. Someone didn't plan well for the amount of homes up there.
