It's a very interesting game. It's not the same as Multi-Strike and has a
very complex strategy. Each winning hand pushes the previous winning hands
up to a higher multiplier, rather than starting a new random hand at the
higher multiplier. Strategy will depend on the value of the prior winning
hands and the additional money to be won if they are pushed to an increased
multiplier. For instance, if you hit a Royal Flush, you will pretty much
want to win the next hands at all costs, trying to get it pushed to the 10x
line.

Boarding pass points are rewarded at all Station Casinos. One
boarding pass is used for all of the casinos. Mailers include all of
the Station Casinos. Depending on your play, some times rooms are not
included at the upscale properties, (Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock Resort).

I don't know how the Boyd properties do mailers, so I can't compare.
At times, you might get a mailer from a certain Station Casino for a
tournament and room, or a concert and room. That is always in
addition to your monthly mailer from all Station Casinos.

Hope that helps.

Looking to keep things simple, what I'll observe is that I find "power of the pack" tends to obfuscate what exactly is involved in a shift to hold strategy. In most all instances, the basic principal is that when you discard at the extremes of the deck (say, 2's, 3's, K's, A's in a non-wild game) you leave a larger number of potential straights (and related hands) to be formed on the draw than is typically the case ... and, thus, the value of drawing 5 new cards (or, in a wild card game, holding only wilds) rises to a maximal value -- one that's sufficient in some cases to elevate the redraw over other holds that normally prevail in value.

And, yes, one can certainly arrive at that conclusion by "connecting the dots". I simply find it worthy of outright statement.

Looks like a great gaming console! (I've envied slot players playing WMS games with lowered, more ergonomic, arm rests/control panels.)

What I find of greater interest on their website is the description of their "Winning Streak" game, which can only be described as an enhanced IGT Multi-Strike Poker clone.

Given the success apparently enjoyed by Action Gaming in defending their "look and feel" patent for multi-play poker, I'm surprised that IGT isn't vigorously challenging this new introduction by WMS.

In any case, it looks like both Caesars and Stations have bought onto WMS new game platform and we should look to see them appearing in casinos soon.

[vpFREE] Re: Station Casinos Announces 10/6/12 as Bonus Point Day

 

Do Station Casinos give individual mailers based on play at each Station Casinos like the Boyd properties do? Or is it based just on your home cassino.

Thanks
Mike

[vpFREE] Gambling with an Edge --- October 4

Tonight's Gambling with an Edge show features
Brian McAllister --- a long-time winning player. Brian played many of the same
video poker promotions that I did in years past --- but he used different
techniques to beat the house. Although the exact promos are long gone, the
differences in techniques should provide insight to modern-day players. After
all, every winning player does it a little bit differently from each of the
others, and everybody needs to find their own niche.



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
