RE: [vpFREE] Hard Rock Gas Cards - July

 

I received this today:

 

"the Speedee Mart promotion has been extended through August 28. The World Escapes promotion has also been extended."

Even though there is signage all over the casino that the gas cards are available Monday thru Thursday, the July promotion does not start until 7/7.

 

I put on 500 points just to test but there was no ticket to print out from the kiosk. The boothlings had no idea why, but finally figured out that the promo started 7/7. When I complained and pointed out the signage, they gave me $10 in free play,

Of course there are alternative strategies:

:

"So, I maintain that in some situations, indeed, you should go against optimal strategy and go for the more conservative play. I just hope Rob Singer doesn't hear about this."

Re: [vpFREE] Bob Dancer's LVA - 1 JUL 2014

 

The how much and how often determine how well you will do on any given day, but over the infinite long run it doesn't make any difference to the E.V. of the game, but it would have an effect on the volatility of the game especially in the short term.

All you need to know for calculating the E.V. of a game is the paytable.

The outs matter, they tell you what the odds are of completing a specific hand. The thing is that knowing the odds only impacts the proper way of playing each individual hand. i.e. the odds determine the strategy for the game.

I have been reading Bob Dancer's articles for a long time and it all made sense to me. You may want to delve deeper into the vpFREE
resources section and read some of the technical articles there. You may find the one's on Jazbo's site to be enlightening.

Regards
A.P.

That can't be right. Either there are alternates or the article is poorly written. The article mentions HOW MUCH and HOW OFTEN you win (emphasis by article author). 

What else has that? Aren't those the same elements you need for EV calculations??? :-)

So I took it to mean that there may be alternate strategies out there for this. If you look at it from a traditional poker perspective, the article implies that "outs" matter. Having 8 outs (open ended straight) may be more valuable than a straight flush draw with one out. 

I'm not saying that's the answer, just an example. But the article clearly implies that there are alternates out there.

Like he said in the article the strategies never change. Everything is based on the infinite long term.
What changes is the dependencies on the "dealt in " hands.
When you play a single line game a dealt in Royal has the same value and impact of a royal that you draw.
If you are playing 100 play an individual royal is almost insignificant. It has roughly the same value as a dealt in full house.
A dealt in royal is highly significant on multi line games and the more lines played the more significant that becomes. 

Many times when playing 50 or 100 play machines in order to reduce the swings of the game I end up accomplishing the opposite because of a lack of dealt in hands. It is a puzzlement.

Fascinating article. I enjoyed it. Sounds like there might be some more work to be done here. I mean, what *should* the multi strategies be? There's probably no (any?) easy answer to that.

[vpFREE] WESTGATE RESORTS ANNOUNCES THE ACQUISITION OF THE LVH - LAS VEGAS HOTEL & CASINO

 



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WESTGATE RESORTS ANNOUNCES THE ACQUISITION
OF THE LVH - LAS VEGAS HOTEL & CASINO

Resort will be rebranded as the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino on July
1, 2014


Las Vegas, Nevada (July 1, 2014) - Westgate Resorts is proud to announce the
acquisition of the LVH - Las Vegas Hotel & Casino as the newest addition to
its portfolio of 28 resorts. Westgate LVH, LLC, which is wholly-owned by
Westgate Resorts, Ltd., has acquired 100% of the membership interests in
3000 Paradise Road, LLC, the owner of the LVH - Las Vegas Hotel ("LVH") &
Casino. The property was formerly known as the Las Vegas Hilton and will be
renamed Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. The LVH is a landmark property
that, at one time, was the largest hotel in the world and was home to such
legendary greats as Elvis Presley and Liberace during Vegas's golden age.
The new Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino is located just one block off the
world-famous Las Vegas Strip, is adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention
Center, and is one of seven stations on the Las Vegas Monorail.

David Siegel, Founder and CEO of Westgate Resorts, proudly announced,
"Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino will set the standard for service in Las
Vegas." Siegel adds "We are very excited to be taking this important part of
Vegas history and reinventing it for the next generation of Las Vegas
visitors." This iconic resort is 30 stories tall and is home to the largest
freestanding sign in the world at 279 feet. With nearly 3,000 rooms,
including 300 opulent suites, Westgate will convert some of the rooms to
luxury timeshare villas while still operating the resort hotel rooms and
suites. Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino features a 95,000 square foot
casino with a wide array of table games and the hottest slot machines on the
market, 200,000 square feet of meeting and convention space, incredible
restaurants - including the largest Benihana restaurant in the United
States, endless entertainment, a spa and fitness center, expansive pool with
luxurious cabanas, access to golf at the exclusive Las Vegas Country Club,
and the world's largest race and sports SuperBookR.

"Although a selection of our rooms will be converted into timeshare villas,
it is important to know that our resort hotel and legendary luxury suites
will remain open to Las Vegas visitors and tourists, for vacations and
conventions," explained Siegel. "We will be providing the best of both
worlds on our resort property," said Siegel. Siegel further added, "Las
Vegas is the center of the universe for luxury destination resorts and the
new Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino is at the center of the Las Vegas
renaissance."

Financing is being provided by Western Alliance Resort Finance, a division
of Western Alliance Bank. "We are delighted to have the opportunity to begin
this relationship with Westgate as one of the premier developers in the
industry and to provide the financing for this exciting project," said
Robert Sarver, Western Alliance President and CEO. Added Tom Dugan, CFO of
Westgate Resorts, "It was a pleasure working with the Western Alliance
Resort Finance team on this transaction."

Westgate Resorts closed on the property on June 30, 2014, and will retain
Navegante Group, a well-known casino management company that has been
managing the property since October 2012, to continue to operate the
property.
