[vpFREE] Re: Laying Odds

 

The alleged CSM is actually not a real CSM, it has an exploitable bug.

[vpFREE] the D - mini trip report

 

Mini Trip report the 'D': Thanksgiving 2012. All in all, I would go back , but prefer to wait till all the restaurants are re-opened.
Good:
G1: Fast check in, friendly staff
G2: Good selection of games. For example loose slots. This trip my $200 dummy slot budget got to $1000 before I quit, so I actually did as good as video poker on these. The Video poker has Nsud, STP with 8/5 bonus, 10/7 db, and 8/5 bonus poker progressive in $,25C that do go positive. They still have that lone 101.7 5C loose deuce machine and a fun Sigma Derby game.
G3: the rooms have been fixed up and mine had 3D television, fridge, and safe, and new firm mattress.
G4: location center of downtown experience, next door to 4 Queens and Fremont - so if playing full pay is important , this is a good place.
G5: party atmosphere...getting many more visitors here since they fixed up the place and put in the long bar. There is nothing playable at that bar, so I'd only go there for a drink.
G6: Offers - I got $70 in free play and $70 in match play, and $25 in food ( which I did not use ).

Bad:
B1: Many of the NSUD , 10/7 machines are coin droppers. Some require hand pay if over $50.
B2: Construction is NOT over with yet !

Ugly:
U1: Restaurants - there is only one open , a hot dog stand. This is a disgrace for a hotel with 1100 rooms ! The food comps can also be used for the main restaurant at sister casino "the golden gate" 3 blocks away.
U2: 2nd floor - you really must use their slow elevator to get to the 2nd floor. They use to have escalators and stairs, but these are out of order for construction.
U3: Elevators...slow, slow, and more slow.

[vpFREE] Ultimate X - Race 5 at Hawthorne

 

Ultimate X, comes in 2nd, misses by a nostril. I'm guessing there's a thoroughbred owner somewhere who likes to play video poker.

Btw, paid $8 to Place. :-)

Re: [vpFREE] VPFREE messages not coming through.

 

Thank you! It's great to be back in the loop.

They were in the spam folder.

I'm postulating that I had selected a few messages for deletion,
and accidentaly hit the spam button instead of the delete button.

Since messages to you aren't bouncing, here are some more ideas.

Check your Yahoo mail spam folder. Any missing messages there?

Check your Yahoo mail list of blocked addresses. Recognize any email
addresses or domain names there that posted missing vpFREE messages?

Check with your ISP, some of which block messages as suspected spam.

[vpFREE] Why Casinos Should Not Worry About Full Pay

 

Perfect play will get full pay results. I was in Aria this evening and noticed what cards someone held when they had 4 to a royal and the fifth card made a flush. Did they keep the 4 to a royal or the flush? See photo under album titled Play at Aria for the answer. BTW, the progressive meter read $30,000+. Please do not scream.
