[vpFREE] Re: A Video Poker Related Slot Question

 

To Bob, Dave and Bill,

I am sorry for any confusion. The casino has a few decent
video poker games. They have 9/6 Job at $1 and NSU deuces
at $.25, $.50 and $1. Each of these deuces games also offer
a 10 coin option on the machine. I do not know if "old"
dollars currently in an account must be played as free play.
This is not a problem in my case. I removed my cash after
the 9 multiplier month. Fortunately I did it because I could
and because, as now demonstrated, one never knows the future!

One choice, since comps have been now been restricted, is to
eliminate this casino as on option. This change certainly is
now a factor. We do not know if it will be permanent, or it is
just part of the large multiplier months. About two years ago
they cut cash back in half for video poker players by requiring
$2 on video poker for 1 point instead of the previous (and
still the same for slots) of $1. 400 points use to earn $1
and now it takes 800 points playing video poker to earn a dollar
of cash/free play. Certainly they are now less competitive in
the local market. However, they are still a casino in a market
where there are limited choices.

Their normal payback for video poker is .125% (one half of
what slots earn). In the past you could take out the earned
points as either cash, food or free play. Cash was usually
used since there was no advantage for taking it as free play
or food comps.

In September the payback was 9 times .125%, or 1.125%. However,
for the rest of the year, the earned comp can now only be
taken as free play and also only use on some selected slots.
Not all slots are eligible and the only $1 play is part of a
($.25, $.50 and $1) Double/Triple Wild Cherry game.

Maybe that multiple denomination play option is why this lone
$1 play option slip through. I was wondering if one could
expect a better return at the dollar level on this game vs the
quarter option. Or is it likely that all denominations are
probably set at the same long term return on the same machine.

Many of the slot machines are not even eligible. All except
this singular Double/Triple Wild Cherry game are at a quarter
denomination or lower. I mentioned some general guidelines
that were suggested for selecting a best slot machine option.
Are these valid assumptions?

Earned payback for playing $5,000 through on video poker
will be $6.25 before the multiplier. The multiplier in October
will be 10 so you will earn $62.50. However, now a slot machine
choice must be made in order to use this earned money. You either
use these earned comps on a slot machine or lose them!

As I said, there are limited slot machine choices. There are maybe
about 200 machines scatter throughout the casino (this is a real
rough guess) Each eligible machine is identifiable by a sticker.
You also earn zero points when playing your free play. I am
confident that there no "advantage" slot machines eligible, or
even in this casino. The more exotic video poker games all have
really poor pay schedules. It is an Indian casino in Arizona
where the state minimum is an 80% return. Maybe one could say
they have cut their cash back by almost 20%!

In addition to the earned free play on selected multiplier days,
the casino offers about .8% in food comps and 1.5% in additional
earned free play comps each month to be used on on selected slot machines. They also offer the usual free rooms, quarterly golf, cruises and periodic entertainment, hosted dinners, drawings and tournaments.

This dropping of cash back to slot play is not only disappointing,
but fixed for at least the next 3 months. The free play multiplier will be eleven in November and twelve in December. So the large
multipliers are just part of the new environment. Arizona is not
too far from Nevada. Maybe one should save money for car expenses
to Laughlin and/or Las Vegas!

Thanks again,

Larry

Earning more points so to qualify for the big multipliers If it's the first, it likely isn't worth worrying about too much unless you have an unusually large amount of free play. If it's the second, there's a really good chance that the best game to play is "none of the above." Even though the 10x multipliers seem "very big," the hold on slot machines is likely bigger. Playing a video poker game with no point multiplier is likely a smarter choice than a slot machine with 10x multipliers. Bob

[vpFREE] Re: Boyd Pumpkin Patch game pieces

 



Earlier I posted:
> You can earn game pieces on Fri + Sat until middle of Nov. There are six sets of four. Completing a set of four gets you cash prizes from $2500 down to $2500. Good luck getting a complete set for any amount :-(
>
> The six sets are labelled in the rules as A thru F. From the game pieces I've received, each group has a "rare" piece. They are:
>
> A ($2500). The Orleans
> B ($1500). California
> C ($1000). Blue Chip
> D ($500). SC Prime
> E ($250). St. Tropez
> F ($50). Gold Coast Bowling

I have a correction. The rare piece for set E is actually "French Market Buffet", not St. Tropez. I'm sorry for the error.

I quite convinced that the game pieces are awarded based on how the casino rates your play, much in the same manner that they decide how much freeplay to give each customer. I think knowledgeable players should not invest much time in these swipes.

G'luck all,
Gamb00ler

The vpFREE2 database has been a separate entity from the vpFREE forums
since 2009.

I believe you can log in to vpFREE2 with your Yahoo ID, but you really
don't need to log in or even have an account there if you just want to
look at the information.

I hate drawings - they seem so unfair - better to distribute the money some
other way I think.

Tonight, but only tonight, I have a different opinion. I was called for
the eight o'clock drawing at Rampart tonight (a miracle all by itself) and
got to pick out a coffin (Halloween, remember), one of twenty-five. Least I
could win was $250 but I somehow found the top prize of $5000. I'm still
in shock!!

[vpFREE] Any Wendover goers?

 

Would like to hear from those who regularly go to Wendover from the Salt
Lake area... or even those out of area who might be planning a trip
there. Would like to make a few new acquaintances. Maybe meet up at
some point. I've been going more often since the free play, room offers
and extras have improved. They must be hurting... and it's their own
fault. I remember when you were lucky to find an available machine on
weekends... video poker or otherwise. Email me to say 'Hello' and I'll
get back in touch with you ASAP.

BTW: If there's a more appropriate area to post something like this,
please let me know. I've been gone for many years and now have an
account here on vpFREE and another on vpFREE2 because vpFREE2 didn't
like the underscore in my Id. Didn't really see a place to post
messages on vpFREE2 other than being redirected here and couldn't post
messages here under my vpFREE2 Id. Please help me untangle this mess.
