[vpFREE] Re: Loss Rebates

 

The subject of loss rebates is interesting to me since some casinos are now basing bounceback levels at least partially on actual losses, thus giving us a rebate of our losses.

It's obvious that high variance games are valuable to play in these casinos, but how do we decide when to quit playing during the determination period? When we're way ahead because further play won't get us any additional bounceback? When we're way behind because we've earned a nice rebate and additional play might lessen it? How far ahead and how far behind?

You could start by evaluating it against own play records (you have them, right?)

As you suggest, it adds more to a game such as DDB than JB, and it adds incentive to abort a session once you're up by something like 400 (or perhaps as little as 200) credits.

[vpFREE] Re: IGT Video Blackjack Scam?

 

I seem to recall an old Video Blackjack machine that banked coins on a push. If someone pushed on their last hand and didn't have any more money or just wasn't aware of the banked coins and walked away, they would remain there available for the next player. I would imagine some of those old machines are still in use somewhere.

I can't even remember who the manufacturer was....and the only place I ever saw the game was Lake Tahoe. It's been so long I can't remember other details but I think the strategy was if you found banked coins you played one hand then walked. If you won the hand you got paid for winning plus the banked coins. The banked coin meter always reset to zero after one hand so you always walked after one hand. Best I remember that's how it worked.

Most of the IGT multigames have video BJ as one of the options, the bad version of course that pays even money for a blackjack. When I am playing VP on one, there is usually a constant stream of Asians passing by checking the last hand of BJ played on every open machine in the bank. Only occasionally will they select a machine based on their examination and play a single hand before cashing out and moving on. Since the cards are shuffled every round, I can't see what advantage they seem to be looking for. They are usually kind of shabbily dressed and have that exhausted look like they are on a never ending mission. It kind of reminds me of the slot huslers back in the late 90's that walked around Las Vegas pushing the button on Piggy Bankin slots looking for a ripe jackpot. Am I missing something or is it just Asian superstition in action?

It was an amazing time. Every casino had something going. I remember
even the Desert Inn had $1 9/6 Jacks with a 1% cashback.

LVA Question of the Day - 20 OCT 2011

Q: A previous QoD mentioned 3 local Italian Resturants as
good places to eat. We checked out Nora's Cusine on our
recent visit and were extremely pleased with the food and
service. Can you tell us more about Chicago Joe's on South
4th Street. We headed there 1st but there was only one car
in the lot and this was at 5:30PM. Is it a good place to go?

[vpFREE] Re: Video Poker Software for the 22nd Century

 

Dan, with this thread I thought I would just give some food for thought to you software developers....at least from someone who continually analyzes new variants of video poker, you know, looking for edges. A lot of the new games can't be fully analyzed....but even so the software is still a huge help. I'll list a game here and there as time permits.

JACKPOT ACES

This is a one joker game with progressive meters on the Five aces, Natural 4 Aces, and Natural Aces Full.
