[vpFREE] Gambling with an Edge --- May 17

 



This Thursday's guest will be Roger Snow, Executive Vice
President of Shuffle Master, Inc. Roger is in charge of table games. We'll be
talking about designing these games and how inventors can get their games
considered. Michael Shackleford has a game pending called "Mulligan
Poker." We'll be asking Roger what he thinks of this game.

From our mailbag at gamblingwithanedge@gmail.com
we'll be discussing a situation where a casino offers a bonus game with several
possible outcomes --- but the player always receives the lowest prize. This
happens (among other places) at John Ascuaga's Nugget in Sparks, NV and also at
the Gold Coast in Las Vegas. I suspect Shack and I will have differing opinions
on the legality of this.

GWAE may be heard live Thursday evenings from 7-8 in Las Vegas on 1230 AM or
from www.klav1230am.com from anywhere.
The shows are archived the next day on bobdancer.com. You may subscribe for
free from iTunes to get the podcasts delivered automatically to your device. Bob

None listed for those casinos on those days here: http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/greatdeals-slotpromotions.cfm

However, the Palms has a 3x point coupon in the American Casino Guide book. And they normally have play, earn and win gifts on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. You keep the points. (In general machines that have any games better than 9/6 JoB are excluded from promotions there.)

[vpFREE] Re:Coach's AC Trip Report

 

VP Wiz wrote:
The beauty of Coach's tales in simply in the telling (and the
emotional charge he and Hedy continue to get out of most every good
hit ;)

It doesn't take much to infer that Coach & Hedy see their share of
hard runs ... he just doesn't choose to dwell on them. Frankly, I find
that pretty refreshing!

Coach takes us on a fun ride most every run through the casino (and
omits the minutia, for his accountant to sort through later ;).

Hi all, I'm rodinsocal and seem to be the one who started all this
'Coach and Hedy always win" business. My sole reason for starting the
thread is because I enjoy Coach's trip reports very much, admire his
writing style and am aware that if he wrote about extensive losses
every week I'd quit reading his posts. He has even taken the time and
effort to put them on his personal web site so to make it easier for
those out there who don't care to read them to ignore them altogether.
He merely puts a link among the VPFree forum letters. All my
comments to Coach are strictly motivated by my wish to continue
friendly banter. I'm secretly wishing my own forays out there are as
successful. In a previous post (subject about the same re: Coach &
Hedy's successful trips) another poster told us all to lighten up and
congratulate them on being at a point in their lives where they are
able to make such frequent casino trips with a degree of success
perhaps a little higher than most. And that, I do! Congratulations
to you both at being financially successful enough to have both the
time and money to continue your life style as you wish. You have
learned to play the games you play as well as the comp/host game to
your ultimate advantage. Well done!
And to "some bitch etc" (an odd screen name - gotta have something
to do with a woman and some girl scout cookies?), yeah, your boredom
is showing! But, I think, all you out there who are able to "do the
math" should also be congratulated for having the knowledge to do what
it is that you do so well. Of course you could be doing it badly or
even completely making all those odds and numbers up. How the hell
would I know? Now those posts are the ones I usually don't read as
they may as well be written in Canadian. I don't read
Canadian........eh?
