[vpFREE] Re: Bonus Points Labor Day - Boyd Properties

 

I don't trust my memory, but I don't think I've ever seen multipliers advertised by the downtown Boyds, so this seems like a favorable development, despite the geographical and quantitative limitations.

On a Vegas message board, several non-local members posted that they received 10x multiplier offers for selected dates at MSS in October. As a local, I've received targeted multipliers from Orleans, but I assumed the offers were widely distributed to many players.


As for the 10k point limit, the Suncoast site specifically proclaims, "No point max on points earned!" However, the Labor Day multiplier is spaced apart from the others, so I guess it's possible that only the regular weekly multipliers are unlimited.

I picked-up a copy of the rules for today's point multipliers. It says that only locals (89000-89199 zip codes) are eligible at the three downtown properties. Everyone is eligible at the other four Boyd LV casinos.

And "Video poker points will be capped at 10,000" apparently for all casinos since it doesn't say otherwise for Suncoast or any others.

[vpFREE] Capped Progressive Experience

 

Akwesasne is a Mohawk Indian Casino in upstate NY that is about an hour's ride from a fishing cabin we rent for a week in June and again the end of August. We usually visit the casino once or twice during our weekly stays. Not a bad place – comps grow quickly and their bar/restaurant has great food. We play at the lounge bar tops which offer a dollar progressive. The games are 8/5 DDB and a lousy Deuces game. A third game offered is 7/5 Jacks or Better with its own progressive meter. In June the DDB/Deuces progressive was capped at $10,000. We played it two separate visits with no luck.


Last week we visited casino and as expected the $10,000 progressive had been hit. It was currently around $4,100. My wife started playing the Jacks or Better progressive since it was a little higher than the DDB one and hit it for $4,260 after only a few minutes of play. Now comes the interesting part. A casino manager comes over to do the paperwork and we asked him about the $10,000 Jackpot. He told us it was just hit less than a week ago and the guy won $19,000. Naturally I asked how he won that much. He told me although the progressive is capped at $10,000 a portion of play still goes in a progressive escrow that is added to the $4,000 reset amount when the capped progressive is hit. The guy who hit the $10,000 continued playing and hit it again for $9,000 ($4,000 reset plus $5,000 escrowed amount). I am not that all familiar with progressives but this "escrow" deal was a surprise to me. I checked out the progressive meter which seemed pretty liberal - $100 through yielded a $1 rise in progressive.


Two days latter visited casino and this time I hit the DDB progressive for $4,360 (holding 4, needing Jack of Hearts). Glad the fishing was not that great and we made a second casino visit!

[vpFREE] Re: XVP - Discuss the undiscussable

 

Thanks very much. I'll try FREEvpFREE if there are no suitable alternatives with discussion already in progress.

The reason I mention the topic now is because I notice (Vegas) bingo rooms seem to be evolving. Details online are limited, but smoking is generally restricted to a designated section, ranging from about 15% of seats in the Summerlin area to 40% on Boulder Highway. In upscale areas such as Summerlin and Green Valley, the smoking section is confined behind a glass wall.

Slots have not evolved. I emailed Suncoast to ask what the non-smoking bingo players do between sessions. Does the casino plan to designate non-smoking slots? The director thanked me and said they'll discuss it.

The above was a non-partisan status report :)

I suspect there are active forums for smoking discussions, but
as you noted, FREEvpFREE is the appropriate place on vpFREE.

[vpFREE] vpFREE Posting Guidelines - 1 SEP 2014

 

vpFREE Posting Guidelines - 1 SEP 2014

http://www.west-point.org/users/usma1955/20228/V/POL_P.htm

1. Everyone should read and be familiar with the vpFREE
FAQ before posting messages on vpFREE Forums.

2. Every message's subject line should accurately identify
the content of the message, to facilitate faster navigation
by interested or uninterested members.

3. If you reply to a message and change the subject matter,
either start a new thread (preferable) with a new subject
line or rename the subject line to reflect its new focus.

4. When replying to messages, quote just enough of the
previous post to maintain continuity. Delete the rest of
the previous post.

5. When replying to messages, clearly differentiate the
previous message(s) from your comments, so that it will be
easy to identify who wrote what.

6. Never post lengthy copyrighted material verbatim without
permission. This includes posts from non-vpFREE internet
forums. Instead, post a link to the material and/or a
summary. Short, credited excerpts may be quoted.

7. Don't use any vpFREE member's real name, even their
first name, on any vpFREE forum unless they themselves use
their real name there.

8. As a spam prevention measure, no one can upload to the
Files Directory on the vpFREE home page unless they get
temporary upload access from the Administrator.

9. Casino personnel probably monitor vpFREE Groups so posts
containing sensitive information should take this into
consideration.

10. Members are expected to observe the rules of
Netiquette , and to practice politeness and show good taste
in their vpFREE posts.

11. Any post that disagrees with vpFREE Dogma and
reaches contradictory conclusions, should be supported with
significant, persuasive documentation. Generalizations and
limited anecdotal evidence aren't persuasive.

12. Most vpFREE members rely on the forum for accurate
information, and may misunderstand, misinterpret or be
confused by tongue-in-cheek posts which are presented as
fact. Always make it very clear in your posts if they are
tongue-in-cheek, by using "smilies", stating that you're
kidding or something similar.

13. Use FREEvpFREE for any political, religious, or smoking
vs. non-smoking discussions. Non-partisan status reports
about smoking and non-smoking availability in casinos are OK
on vpFREE.

14. If you have Yahoo administrative problems, send a
private email to the Administrator, after you have checked
the vpFREE Yahoo! Administrative Problems Directory.

15. Let the Administrator do the administrating. Send any
comments, questions, suggestions or disagreements about
vpFREE policies or procedures to the Administrator via
private email or post them on FREEvpFREE.
