I never saw the game. A friend of mine, T., told me about losing the play after it was posted here. He said it was gone the day after it was posted. He described it as being a Bonus Deuces progressive at 104%+.

I passed on a shady play at River Palms at about that same time. The card was still stong then. They had 10/7 DB for quarters and 50 cents on the same machines. There was a 100 coin quad bonus prono going on. It was the same deck whether playing quarters or 50 cents. You could hit the quad on quarters then switch to 50 cents and get twice the bonus. A gaming agent happened to be in surveillance one day and seen a known cheat playing the game. Of couse the agent informed security as to what was going on. Everyone involed got 86'd.

Tom, I guess I shoudn't get into the area of moralizing. I wasn't exactly a sweetheart in my pre gambling days. And my first gig in the casinos was hustling credits off abandoned machines. But once I saw the potential of advantage play I knocked off credit hustling, and made a deliberate decision to stay away from anything shady. There's enough heat just doing it the honest way. I wasn't going to give them an easy shot at getting rid of me by doing anything underhanded.

[vpFREE] Re: Prelude to Post of Dr. William G. McCown Q&A

 

It's an interview not a book, so what you will be able to get from it is how effective cognitive behavioral therapy has been over conventional problem gambling treatment, and you'll get to hear from the Doctor how common these issues are amongst gamblers.

If you want to know exactly what "cognitive behavioral therapy" is, you'll have to wait until I can write up a (not)brief description of all it entails, or read a book on the subject.

The subject is vast...

What you'll get from the interview is its importance.

Even without going into detail, I believe the interview is over 5000 words.

Re: [vpFREE] Prelude to Post of Dr. William G. McCown Q&A

 

Looking forward to the interview.

The dog training community is slowly learning that positive reinforcement indeed works better in learning than avoidance-based punishment - something I have been working with for thirty years.

Of course that has nothing to do with discussing video poker except in the most abstract way.

But I'm interested in hearing how Dr. McCown relates these ideas to gambling issues.

Good for you. Whether playing VP or roulette I always tell them when
I'm overpaid. Besides, what goes around comes around

Hmmm. I think the definition of the words "cheat" and "legitimate"
may be rather vague. Getting $200 in credits for a $10 deposit would
be to take advantage of a mistake. Doesn't all professional gambling
do that?

Re: [vpFREE] Re: ultimate x poker

 

the "hint" about ult-X leftovers was from a Wizzard of Odds article about 2
years ago. Now, for new places, its been mostly slim pickins, with the
lucrative places already jobbed by hustlers
who will quickly point this out to you, if you decide that you want a piece
of their turf !

Ultimate X will likely survive being exposed here. But lot's of plays haven't. And it goes back a long time. I remember a deuce play about ten years ago at River Palms that got squashed the day after it was posted here. Of course, VV, you can always lead by example and post your plays up here.

RWHANNU, I'm not really tickled to death by your comment. I've never ever exploited a malfunctioning machine. In the words of the Cincinnati Kid I don't have to cheat to win. I passed on every opportunity to cheat the casinos. Why would I jeopardize my ability to make a good living outsmarting them with legitimate strategy?

Case in point, I once stuck a $10 bill in a dollar denom advantage slot at the Riverside in Laughlin. It racked up 200 credits. Some mechanic had put a nickel bill acceptor in a dollar machine. This was before TITO. Now, a bad cheat would just empty the hopper, take a fill or two and leave the machine. A good cheat would play for the hand pays, avoiding the fills. What did I do? I called an attendent over and told her they had a problem with the machine. Someone from slot operations came out. I told him what the problem was and asked him for my $10 back. "Sure, no problem for an honest guy like you" he said.

Just because I know how it's done doesn't mean I do it. Like I said, I don't have to cheat to win.
