[vpFREE] Referlocal.com - Almost Free Food at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs

 

Referlocal.com is a third-party business which has casino 'breakeven' deals with Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in PA. Mohegan Sun doesn't have good VP by any means (5/8 JOB is their best), but has awesome deals with Referlocal.com such as $25 in slot play and $25 of food for $25. Deals are available typically weekly and include their Pacer's Clubhouse, Rustic Kitchen, Johnny Rockets, Timber's Buffet, and Pearl restaurants.

I have been buying these online certificates, redeeming them at the casino, and eating almost free for months - and with friends grabbing these deals and splitting them with me! I would highly recommend those in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton PA area or even beyond to take advantage of these deals. Even with the 5/8 JOB it's well worth it (not to mention signing up for their slot club and providing an email gives $20 in slot play!) There's one 'advantage play' for locals :)

RE: [vpFREE] Re: I Need Help with my VP Playing Style

I can only play 200 hands an hour. I'm 52 and suffer from carpel tunnel syndrome. I'm college educated and don't think I could process info at a rate of 800 per hour.
I also think the faster you play, the more likely you can injure your hands and fingers.

I can understand that when someone writes of playing 1000 hph (or even 1200 hph) it can seem as if they must be painfully pushing for high speed play.



But I hope that it's common sense that an active recreational player who play 400 or 500 hours a year, for 10+ years, will only find that play at faster speeds comes as a matter of ease. Frankly, vp play isn't rocket science and you only have so many choices for any given hand.



I observe that most practiced players manage at least 800 hph, even while carrying on an active conversation with the player next to them. Discipline will ensure that play is accurate, even with modest distractions.



Advancing play to above 900 hph does take added discipline not to permit distractions to cause frequent interruptions to play. But with decent hand coordination, we're still not talking lightning speed play.



------



Speaking for myself, my "casual" speed is approx 1000-1100 hph. This is a speed I maintain naturally and comfortably ... relaxing with a soft drink and often carrying on light conversation.



The only "push" involved in maintaining such speed is that necessary to maintain rigid attention to the cards (hopefully without exception) and not allow myself to be distracted. That said, it's my experience that such a "push" is necessary at most any speed.



------------



There are occasions where my play time is tight. Typically, I have a fixed play goal before I walk onto the casino floor. When time is constrained, I can be motivated to push my speed.



At such times, I tend to hold myself to a fast beat in my head (as one might during fast paced exercise reps). I keep conversation to a minimum. This isn't my preferred play pace, but with appropriate motivation I don't find it uncomfortable (at times it can be a little exhilarating).



Given a reasonably paced machine, I can manage 1200-1300 hph for extended periods. But it goes without question (at least in my case) that a couple of hand errors an hour is the norm during such play, and as such, it's not the most desirable pace.



The fastest machine I play occasionally is a triple play machine with extraordinarily fast speed and crisp, accurate keys. When I want to push play, it's not uncommon for me to record over 1400 plays/hr.

I loved the place too. Reminded of the video poker. $1 9/6 Jacks with a 1% cashback. And the machines played smooth. Small casino, but the class of the strip before the megaliths.

[vpFREE] Re: 'extend your jackpot' Mount Airy promo

 

It's only one drawing over the course of each month, so I have to assume there are quite a few entries - lots of slot players will hit for $1,200+. When I first read it I thought it was a drawing every day. THAT would be interesting...

Unknown, though, are how many tickets will go in the drum. I, although it is an assumption, doubt there would be many entries as most players lack the bankroll, skill, don't play enough, or wont play machines at bets which would yield entries.

Depends where you are. McCarran broke a record at <.25" which made me laugh.

Re: Cell phones
That's homeland security taking control of cell phones. Here in new england, the cable tv will interrupt all shows (recorded and live).
Can't even mute the T.V. but ya can shut it off. Happens a lot and 99% of the time it's just a test. And yes, you'll miss the touchdown pass during the HS event which is bogus as they could start from where the interruption began.

Vegas and the Feds have spent about a billion dollars since 1995 on flood control. Visit the wiki on the Clark County Regional Flood Control District here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_County_Regional_Flood_Control_District

Seems to be working.
