I can attest to the fact that many casinos will allow patrons to take markers in the form of slot machine vouchers. I imagine that they would also permit a patron to buy a high denom voucher as well for the sake of expedience.

[vpFREE] Question: Loading of high credits on machines

 

Pardon me if this is a dumb question, but I couldn't find an answer in the archives.

On a recent trip to LV, staying at Cosmo, I wandered through the high limit room, to find that it was REALLY high limits, so I didn't stick around. But I observed a person playing the $10 5 play VP, and noticed that he had over $48K in credits on the machine. In the 3-4 minutes it took for me to pass through, that value had dropped to $35K (ouch).

I'm trying to understand how such a high value can be loaded on to the machine. I can't imagine that he stuffed that many bills, and have never seen a machine loaded in any other manner. Trying to imagine possible scenarios: paying at the cage, and having a slot attendant program it in? Winning a jackpot, and having it paid as machine credits, instead of cash/check? Making cashout tickets to use for this purpose would have still required the loading of the bills at some previous point, so I don't see the advantage of that.

If someone knows how this could be done, I'd really appreciate an education!

Perhaps you're remembering a discussion about longterm at this link:

http://members.cox.net/vpfree/FAQ_LT.htm

...especially the part posted by John G. Zaroff part way down the page. Zaroff credits TomSki with calculating how many hands it would take to have a 95% chance of being within 1% of EV.

That's an interesting measure, but I don't think either Zaroff or TomSki meant for that to be an official technical definition of long term.

There's a measure called "N0" that I believe is meant to define the
point at which expected value is 1 standard deviation above break
even. But I wouldn't call any definition "official."

Re: [vpFREE] Long Term

Grab the volatility index or standard deviation for whatever you're talking
about (the Wizard of Odds has it for a few of the games), and apply the
basic Confidence Interval formula to find the the range after n games. It's
a simple formula so you can guess or check to get a 1% CI interval, or you
can solve for n. Alternatively, I believe XLS has =confidence( but no
matter what, you're going to need a VI of standard deviation first.

[vpFREE] Long Term

 

Does anyone out there remember where the technical definition of "Long Term" for video poker is sequestered? I remember the content and that it was the number of hands required to have a 99% chance of being within + or - 1% of expectancy, but I can't seem to find it now.

[vpFREE] Any way to get Jean Scott strategy cards anymore?

 

Planning a trip to Tunica soon & I would like to get my wife her own set of strategy cards. While I know that the Dancer/Daly cards are still available, I haven't been able to find the ones by Jean Scott.

Are they still available for sale? If not, does anyone know what happened?

LVA Question of the Day - 27 NOV 2011

Q: Your QOD of 11-14-2011 has me confused. I was under the
impression that a McCarran replacement was being built in
Jean, NV. Were those plans canceled and being replaced by
expanding McCarran´s ability to handle air traffic or is
Terminal C a stopgap measure until the Jean airport is up
and running?
