[vpFREE] "No one loves me anymore" trip report

 

LVH shut my wife out last year ("the Atlantis syndrome"). Her reaction was no one loved me anymore. But then sent $200 free play offer for April. No more Linai pool side room or food or shows or tourneys. Room was fine.

Stayed one night and gambled on 9/6 DDB. Got 4A/kicker for $2K. Left the joint $1K ahead - 4 hours slooooow play. Attendant said they took out 540 machines. It's a shadow of it's former self.

That $2K jackpot was sweet.

We also drove by GVR which broke-off our relationship last year.

She does not take rejection well.
Winning streak continues at both former lovers and our new steadies.

I guess it depends what you are trying to accomplish with the freeplay. I believe the 8/5 BP will allow you to withdraw freeplay, or at least they used to if you are focused on return. If your goal is to reduce variance, which is what I try to do with these offers, video blackjack is a good alternative.

The Ultimate X scam is just a variation of scams that have been run on unsuspecting tourist/ploppies ever since advantage slots first appeared. The perpetrators were generally low-life crackheads with a slash and burn mentality. Their desire to get high was so strong they didn't care about the future. Anything went. So their shelf life in any one casino was very short. 
The Ultimate X hustlers (2009-2013) I knew generally looked for non-VP victims playing a lot of money, and brought them to Ultimate X machines (or any advantage play machines.  Build-A-Wheel is even better because the payout is stable ($80-90/slice on $1 machine).  I've had some try to talk me up when I first start playing an Ultimate machine.  I don't know the older breed, but these people (male & female) tend to be very social and entertaining.
The more conscientious of the "creators" try to make their victims profit as they make their own profit.  Hoping to help their victim score a "hand-pay" while filling the machine with multipliers.
One guy has a sophisticated scam where he teaches people to play & shift games on their own, so he doesn't even have to be next to them while they fill up the machine. Very creative.
I have moral issues with teaching people sub-optimal ways to play games.  Simplified VP poker rules for beginners are ok.  Deliberately convincing people to leave multipliers - no-no.
