Yeah, most modern slots don't even allow paybacks above 98%.  And at the dollar level, I would expect closer to 95%.  However, if games like 9/6 JoB or less are the only ones that qualify, then playing the higher limit slots are a valid argument thanks to the dramatic differences in coin-in requirement.

RE: [vpFREE] Metropolis and Southern Indians

 

Yep.  Metropolis is sorta neat if you have any interest in Superman.  My g/f and I really don't, but we still posed in the Superman/Superwoman cutouts anyway.  lol


As for VP, yeah, pretty much sucks.  But when the 2012 "Race to Rewards" was on, the 7/5 DDB multi-way progressive was near a Double Royal...so it was a reasonable ~98% to try to earn 25 Tier Credits on.  Did I hit anything on it...no.  I really miss that promo though...

[vpFREE] LVH aka Westgate Host last day was Friday

 

Our host at "Westgate" Robert Mosher's last day was Friday. Found out when we called VIP to make reservations. They didn't have a clue what to do.

Re: [vpFREE] Bob D's no brainer at Palms

 

What a jerk to respond like this.  All this person did was ask a simple question which was probably on the minds of a lot of people who took the time to read the article.  It is a question that given the circumstances of a story about playing in a tournament that would be on one's mind after reading the article.  You didn't have to respond in such a manner.

 The short answer is no, neither one of us won anything (other than me winning the $1 from her in side bets that I "forgot" to collect) although I did talk a host into a $25 lunch comp.

The longer answer is, "why do you even care?" Even if you found out I won $1,000, what would that tell you? You still wouldn't know my year-to-date score within $50,000. You wouldn't know my net worth within $1 million. You wouldn't know whether I won or lost $100, $1000, $10,000, $100,000 later that weekend. So if my wealth/bankroll before the event was a big unknown to you, which it was, (big unknown + $1,000) is still a big unknown.

Had I won, it wouldn't have made it a better play. Even though I lost didn't mean it was a bad play. Whether a play is good or bad depends on the information available BEFORE you actually make the gamble. And as I argued in the article, thi s was a good low-roller gamble.

RE: [vpFREE] Bob D's no brainer at Palms

 

A.P. patronized me with:

The reason some people want to know is because it ends the story.

Let me try to explain that premise to you.

1. You mention a tournament.
2. You tell why it would be good to enter it.
3. You tell that you entered it.
4. You end the story.
5. You leave people hanging for the ending.

You could have made your point without saying that you entered the tournament and then nobody would have cared.
BUT you did, so you should end the story.

You are a writer and should know better.


 
Cmon guys! You're making a big deal out of nothing!

I also told you I had got a lunch comp --- but failed to tell you exactly which eatery and what menu items I consumed.  That should be irrelevant to you folks (and so far is --- although perhaps this thread isn't over yet!) as should be whether or not I placed in this particular minor tournament.

You understand the purpose of food --- and there are dietary "rules" for intelligent eating. That's not my specialty and for the most part I ignore that subject. My specialty is teaching people how to gamble intelligently. What some of you do not seem to be grasping is that intelligent gambling depends on MAKING APPROPRIATE BETS and does not depend on the RESULTS of any one particular bet.

1.        A writer emphasizes what he/she thinks is important
2.        A writer necessarily ignores irrelevant stuff
3.        A writer gets to make his/her own rules about what he/she includes --- subject to certain libel, plagiarism and other laws.
4.        A writer gets to choose when a particular story is over

As a reader, you should know better.

My goal is to make my columns informative and entertaining. If you find they fail to meet that standard, you certainly do not have to read them.

This will be my last post in this particular thread. If you folks care to continue the thread without me, knock yourself out!

Bob

One %? I might play slots then. 5% sounds more typical.

[vpFREE] Clarion to close

 

Clarion, the former Debbie Reynolds hotel, to close Labor Day Weekend

Nevada (Las Vegas) - John Katsilometes, Las Vegas Sun - Entertainer Debbie Reynolds pulls the handle of a slot machine inside the Debbie Reynolds Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Oct. 1, 1997. Reynolds would file bankruptcy later that year and sell the property for $10 million to the company behind the World Wrestling Federation. The hotel opened by film legend Debbie Reynolds on Convention Center Drive seems to be fading to black. The Clarion Hotel Casino has reportedly announced internally that it is shutting down operations effective Monday morning. A spokesman for the hotel said tonight that the hotel was expected to close, but did not know of the timeframe for when that would happen. The hotel website is not booking rooms after Sunday night, and an employee answering the phone declined to say whether the hotel would accept reservations past Monday.

Slots would have been the way to go, assuming you could find ones with even money or overlays, I'm just saying. Even if the best you could do was find a slot with 1% hold, 1% of $2500 is $25, plus better mailers. Plus, on slots, even if you could only get in say $2000, you might be able to negotiate your way into the tournament anyway, like maybe if you'd agree to the rebuy or tip/gift your host, or whatever.
