[vpFREE] Re: Anybody at Caesars during storm

 


Just back from dinner there, and they must have done an amazing clean up. I saw that footage on the news, but could not see any sign of the flood this evening.

My flight was arriving just after the storm hit, and they said we couldn't land for 30 minutes....but we didn't have enough fuel to circle that long. So they flew us to Ontario, CA....a 48 minute flight. Hmmmmmm.....airline math!
Apparently, we were one of many such flights because the airport was out of fuel, so we sat and waited for more trucks to arrive.

Local news did show the flood at Gilleys also...located in TI. Tons of other local damage.

Of course you want to play fast when your machine is hot, otherwise it is possible that it will go cold. Flush attach and linked progressives are the extreme examples. Casinos want you to play fast because you make more mistakes and they get more vig, plus you look like a tweaker and casinos like the tweaker look. The main reason to play slow is to hustle free drinks or if you're getting credit for time on the machine, like Harrah's used to do (I think they stopped that practice however). Slow playing is mostly a table games trick, it's hard to fool a card reader into thinking you've played faster than you really have.

Bounceback is fixed so don't think it should be included in your calculation unless you got so much your running out of time.

Is anyone else on this forum in favor of slow and easy?

Pointer Sisters lyrics apply to VP?:
"I want a man with a slow hand
I want a lover with an easy touch
I want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I want somebody who will understand
When it comes to love, I want a slow hand"

The main reason I like to play fast is because it increases my EV per hour. (I include in EV everything of value that results from my play - theoretical vp payback + promotions + multipliers + bounce back + slot club benefits.)
 
Secondarily it makes playing vp more entertaining/less boring. Playing slowly on a slow machine especially multi-line can get boring.

However, I don't want to play so fast that it attracts unwanted attention from casino personnel.

worth $2 max a session less if you have a small car like me. .70$ is more like it for me and I don't fill up that often.

RE: [vpFREE] Re: Anybody at Caesars during storm

 

I heard part of the Mirage roof over the casino collapsed and Gillies (not
sure where that it) had a drainage pipe bust causing a flood, nothing about
CP. 71 mph winds were reported at Nellis AFB and over 70K people had no
power

[vpFREE] Re: Tuscany (Invalid Pin)

 

It is my understanding that the "certain players" are those who play on more than one card (i.e. cards that are not in their name). In the past they were verbally warned, so it looks like Tuscany is really stepping up to stop this practice.
