Thanks for the link. I'm still not entirely clear on what is to happen, but I assume there will be more reports as this story continues. Thanks again.

They are unchanged and still there tonight.

The $5 Bonus Poker and Double Bonus Poker are still MIA.

They aren't "official" WSOP satellites, but if you win one of these tournaments, the poker service pays your $10,000 fee for you (presumably under the condition that you wear one of their .net-site hats and T-shirts - they had to switch from the .com stuff when the WSOP organizers, at the "request" of ESPN (which was afraid of being fined, or worse, for advertising online gambling sites), banned anybody wearing any .com poker site merchandise from playing; if I remember correctly, players turned their shirts inside-out and put tape over the .com part of their hats until the poker services sent .net stuff for them to wear). It's no coincidence that the number of players dropped immediately after the ban on credit card companies processing online casino/poker charges took effect.

Prior to 2007, the WSOP allowed 3rd party registration into events. If you won a $10K Main Event seat on Party Poker or PokerStars then they would pay your entry directly to the WSOP.

Following the passage of the UIGEA in Oct. 06, the WSOP stopped allowing 3rd party entries. If you won a Main Event seat on PokerStars or Full Tilt they would deposit the package value, typically $10K-$12K into your online account. You had to register yourself and in many cases people just kept the cash. That's why the 2006 WSOP Main Event is still the largest live poker tournament in history. Starting in 2007 the online sites would encourage you to play by offering a bonus, typically $1K, if you actually played and met their requirements for wearing logos, etc. Most sites also offered bonuses if you cashed or lasted late into the tournament and therefore potentially had more TV exposure.

The lvrj.com website is usually a good source for information like this. The article by Howard Stutz about the County Commission ruling explains the situation:

[vpFREE] On-Air Resturant Picks

 

A few people complained that when we had the food critics on last week, they couldn't catch the restaurant names fast enough, and are having trouble googling them because of the weird spellings. I've just posted in the notes section for April 14th a file entitled On-Air Restaurant Picks, that sums up Al & Max's picks for "best value" and "price is no option".

April 14th Section: https://www.progressivevp.com/radio_show.php

May the free food be with you.

We will have legal taxed internet poker sites when the large USA casino companies operate it and Harry Reid and the US Senate approves. Check out the attempt that was made to include legislation in the tax extension bill last December.

I drove right past the road to Pauma yesterday on the way to Harrahs Rincon and didn't think to stop. It would be no trouble at all next time to look around to report any changes. But I don't play there regularly or know anyone who does.

On a side note, I wanted to report that Harrahs Rincon has an unadvertised "special" that might benefit some players. They offer ARCO gas cards at the Total Rewards desk. It is the same 2-for-1 exchange rate as the Shell cards in the TR catalogue and at the Great Gift Wrapup. So, 5,000 Reward Credits will get you a $25 gas card.

The advantage of an ARCO card is generally lower pump prices than Shell, plus the Rincon TR desk has those ARCO cards immediately available. You don't have to place an order and wait.

Nevertheless, the best gas for comps value in the area remains at Pechanga where it is dollar-for-dollar. $60 in your Pechanga comp balance will get you a full $60 in gas. And that's a fill-up today, at least, if not tomorrow.

Wow, impressive aim for a cat!

Sorry to hear about your log book. If you are an iPhone user, could I suggest that you take a peek at our app "WinLoss" which can help track your VP activity and supplement or take the place of your log book? The app is FREE to download and test drive:

The app creates some great reports that you can easily email to yourself right from the app. If you have a chance to check it out, I would love to hear your feedback!

But of all the places in this house to dump his dinner, and he had to pick that spot specifically?

[vpFREE] Re: VP in Washington state or Oregon

 

Seven Feathers has 9/6 JB in dollars only. One bank. There is another bank that looks like full pay but they short the royal. I have not been there in almost a year so things might have changed. Here is the payout schedule for the Oregon Video lottery JB games- You can play up to 8 coins but the royal stays the same after 4 coins. Sorry if this does not format right. The payoffs are incremental as you go up except the Royal which stays at 2400 after 4 coins. These are quarter machines.

1 coin 2 coins 4 coins 8 coins

RF- 600 1200 2400 2400

[vpFREE] LVA Question of the Day - 18 APR 2011

 

LVA Question of the Day - 18 APR 2011

Q: I will be coming to Las Vegas at the end of May and I
will be driving in and staying on the Strip. Since I will
have my own vehicle I was wanting to explore some other
casinos off the Strip. I was wondering if you could
recommend a few "local" casinos to see, play, and eat at?
