When polar opposites such as Larry F and Rob S both disagree with me (and with each other) I must be saying something right. Here are some thoughts on the disagreements. When Revel first opened up it was a breath of fresh air "literally". The Revel made a conscious decision to allow smoking on the casino floor and imperil the health of the players and their workers. They could have built the isolated smoking lounges instead and everyone would be happy and the non-smokers healthier. When I'm talking about a particular game I'm talking about the expectation of the game itself with perfect play and not the "extras" that come with it that can be changed at any time by the casino as Larry so eloquently points out later. I am very much aware of the ACVP scene but that does not mean that the tricks the casinos pull or the offers they renege on are moral, just common (and immoral). BTW I have never known Borgata to engage in any of this. They are honorable. To all reading this post - I did not know that NJ "forced" Revel to stay open 2 weeks longer than they wanted to. Now to some of the points expressed by Rob: no one that did the Revel Promo "expects" to lose $100,000 but the well financed ones were "prepared to lose $100,000". They were not prepared for the dishonestly displayed by the Revel later. Rob - are you so sure that all of the players that the Revel would not honor the loss rebate were cheaters? Sure some were and did not comply with the rules of the promotion. I do however think a great many of them were the victims of the Revel's overzealousness and that the secret list did exist. What is one of the first things a lawyer would tell his client when starting a lawsuit - "don't make any statements especially in public which are untrue". A fine way for you to lose your lawsuit. Has the Revel ever denied the existence of this list? You were right about one thing: The Revel had the finest hotel in Atlantic City. They had the finest selection of TV channels in the rooms, they had the NFL Network, HBO and more channels than any other casino-hotel in AC. I will not miss the Revel Casino. I will miss the Revel Hotel.

If/when this joint re-opens, the new owners better have a name not even close to "revel."

I saw this new game Multi Shot Video Poker added to vpFREE2 at the Gold Coast recently. I took a look at it but didn't play. The help screen indicates that it's another high variance games with multipliers. It's made by AGS which appears to be American Gaming Systems although I don't see anything about it on their website.

FYG, I believe Gilrus47's comment about a small living space referred to a prison cell.

Saysitsme,
In response to your post
I'm going to presume that either you have rarely been to Atlantic City or you were one of those gamblers who were deceived by the July promo.
Your info about the July promo is mostly correct and that is the only thing in your post that it is accurate or shows any knowledge of the ACVP scene. The July can't lose promo was a disaster that could've been easily averted had Revel eliminated VP from the promo.
Let me address the other issues you brought up.
1.Smoking..When Revel went to smoking of course they opened on the playing floor just as EVERY AC casino has done. To Revel's credit they kept their 25% smoking area in just one part of the casino rather than several areas as other AC casinos have done. This basically made smoking a non issue under most circumstances.
2. VP pay tables... As every knowledgeable AC VP player knows 100% pay table VP games have long been gone from the AC scene. Getting 99-99.7% is the best you'll get in any ( and not all) AC casinos. When Revel offered 99.6% BP they were also giving .5% comp in addition to anywhere between .2-.4% Bounce back/FSP. You do the math.
3. Closing date..Revel management WANTED TO CLOSE on August 18 but last week the NJDGE forced them to stay open till Sept. 2 in order to have an orderly wind down of business.
4. Honorable casinos...Have you been reading posts over the years about shenanigans that various casinos have pulled at one time or another ? How about the infamous "..let's have a comp multiplier day but we'll lower the basic comp rate on that day.."
Good luck wherever your future gaming ventures take you.
Larry F.
