[vpFREE] RE: Tuscany - Personnel changes

 

Ah Terribles . . . I remember when they first opened, they had .25 and .50 17/10 LD, with comped rooms, and meals, and all the free drinks had groups of pros *living* there for months, hammering those machines practically 24/7.

Today I learned from the Player's Club reps that the Director of Marketing was let go last week. She was brought in a few months ago and the promotions went downhill almost immediately.

Hopefully the promotions will return to what they were: the 10x points on video poker, the twice a month mystery free play and maybe even the 8/5 BP!!

I remember when Terribles had the double on .05 and .10 and included JOB 9/6.  I don't remember the day. They also had the coupon for 100 extra on 4oaks on tues and thurs on 8's
.  It was great they had a lot of good promotions.

Would you tell me a little about the two double-royal promos in the past?  I don't remember them.  What happened?  How did it turn out so badly for them?


I remember for a long time Terrible's used to have double-royals for quarters on Saturdays.  I think they excluded 9-6 Jacks, and they limited it to 50% on dollar denomination.  I think that's how it used to go.  I think it worked out ok, seemed to go on for a long time.

Looks like the owner has lost his stomach for cute Casino Marketing Director mistakes like when Julie Hall was there.  She made some big ones like double royal promotions TWICE.   But Julie came up with some good promotions which were still the casino's marketing template until this idiot came along.  Maybe Wendy Perez will go back to working for Native American casinos where marketing is less important due to their market monopoly.

[vpFREE] RE: Today I was dealt a Sequential Royal Flush!

 

Thanks for the correction, I need to pay more attention to what I'm reading.  That is pretty amazing.

Where do you get odds of 1 in 77,968,800 for a sequential royal flush?  Not knowing exactly what game you were playing, let's say the probability of a royal flush is 1 in 40,000.  The probability that given a royal flush, it is sequential, is 1 in 60 (assuming that either A/K/Q/J/10 or 10/J/Q/K/A counts).  Multiply the 2 numbers, and you get 1 in 2.4 million.


The 1/60 value assumes that you are not doing anything differently to get a sequential royal flush compared to trying to get any royal flush.  I'm not clear if the jackpot required a sequential royal flush, or if it was for any royal flush.  If it was only for a sequential, there would probably be some strategy adjustments if you had 2 or more royal flush cards in the right positions, so that might increase the chances slightly that a royal flush will be sequential.


If the progressive is for any royal flush, with a jackpot that high (I'm assuming your nickel machine required only 5 nickels for the jackpot of $545.15, which is over 2.7x the normal payout), you would probably be making major adjustments to your strategy in order to maximize EV, and these adjustments would increase the probability of a royal flush.  For example, you would most likely always keep a high pair over 3 to a royal flush.  In that case, your chances of getting a royal flush (including sequential royal flushes) would improve somewhat.

Too bad it was only in nickels!  However it was a Progressive with 3x points .5% slot club. The EV was 100.3% today, that is why I was playing it.  Dealt AKQJ10 hearts.

This is the one of the only 100+% opportunities in Deadwood, SD. Odds are 77,968,800 to one. But you already knew that!

Truly a once in a lifetime event for me, I am sure.

 A million dollars in the bank after 25 years is statistical significant enough for me.  But that's just me – I was an English major, not a math major.

An uncharacteristically immodest reply by Jean.  She must have been pretty provoked!

Well congratulations on your results.   But that information doesn't address my original observation that those who play VP advantage really don't understand that they are not playing in the long term as far as statistical significance.    It's very likely that in your 25 years of play, your number of hands doesn't approach the long term e

Playing over 25 years, only on positive VP plays (which include all cash extras, i.e., free play but not including comps), we have won an average of 40K per year.

How is it that anyone feels their playtime at video poker even approaches long term math?   (millions of trials)  I have yet to see anyone explain that on this site.

FP given as part of loss rebate last year was downloadable.  Can't remember details about when it could be collected.

Looking for basic info on Tropicana that I couldn't seem to find at vpfree2.com ...

Appreciate info on casino day and at what time you can first download free play. (e.g. 6a-6a, first download 12:01a, etc.)  I'm assuming Free Play offers are downloadable, right?

Thx!
