RE: [vpFREE] Bob Dancer's LV Advisor Column - 2 OCT 2012

 


From article: "An example from NSU is that from W 5♥ 6♣ 7♦ A♠ we draw five new cards while from W 5♥ 6♣ 7♦ T♠ we hold W 5♥ 6♣ 7♦. This is a Power of the Pack consideration because the A is far more extreme than the T."

Huh? On the first one, wouldn't W be held? Absolutely. My bad. Thanx for pointing it out. I'll get it fixed.

[vpFREE] My Points Las Vegas

 

Silver Nugget, Opera House, and Lucky Club Casino all now share a slot club with the above name. (I'm surprised that haven't been sued by Stations, but then again maybe they are too busy excluding video poker players from all promotions.). Details are available on their websites if the moderators wish to update the database.

[vpFREE] New MLife Program

 

I just received a brochure describing the new MLife program starting October 1. It looks like earned pointplay remains the same, but earned Express Comps have been reduced from .2% to .1%.

They seemed proud of the changes by offering comparisons showing how MLife is better than programs offered by other casinos.

I guess only a cynical person would see this as a downgrade.

How did you get a handpay of $2049.75 when you got two 5 of a kinds for a $1000 and a 4 of a kind? What was the 4 of a kind at?

[vpFREE] Re: Joker Jackpot

 


Single-joker games have 53 cards. You've seen five on the deal, so
there are 48 left. There is only one way to hold four and get the
single card you need on all three lines, so the probability is
1/(48*48*48), or one in 110,592. The jackpot is paid on the final
result, whether it is dealt or drawn.

[vpFREE] Joker Jackpot

 

Hi Gang:
A interesting thing happened to me this past weekend at Harrah's AC and it
brought up a couple of questions that I hope the folks on these boards can
clear up.
I was playing 9/6 DDB at our usual bank of machines near the Total Rewards
Center when I looked over and saw that the nearby quarter joker poker
triple-line progressive jackpot had gotten close to $7,400. Since I wasn't
making much headway playing DDB, I figured I'd throw a benji into the joker
poker bank to see if I could get lucky.
I sat down at the end machine on the far right and began to play. I hit a
straight flush early on to keep me going, then I was dealt four natural
sixes but the joker was nowhere to be found on the draw.
I continued playing for another 15 minutes or so when I was again dealt
four of a kind, this time three fives and the joker. I needed the five of
hearts to complete the 5K. Hedy had come over to sit next to me by this time,
so we held hands, I held the four fives and hit the draw button. Eureka! I
saw the five of hearts hit the bottom line so I threw my hands up in the
air! A nice $1,000-plus jackpot! But, wait. I looked again and saw that I had
gotten the same five on the top line as well! My machine locked up and the
box on the screen said I had hit a jackpot for $2,049.75! Wow! The five of
hearts on two lines!
Which brought up the first question. What are the odds of getting the one
card you need on all three lines?
And the second question: If I had gotten the five of hearts on all three
lines -- as unlikely as that seems -- would that have won me the big
progressive jackpot?
The sign above says that the jackpot is paid for "five of a kind on all
three lines." The implication is that it has to be DEALT, but if it is drawn
on all three lines that seems to fill the qualification as well.
Anyway, I thought the members of these boards would probably know the
answers to both these questions. Hedy and I very rarely play joker poker so
we're not familiar with the rules.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Regards,
CoachVee & Hedy
