Re: [vpFREE] Re: I just got my first dealt royal!

 

Jim, that is amazing: to be dealt a sequential royal. 1 in every 120 dealt royals is sequential (10JQKA suited in that order). 1 in every 60 dealt royals is sequential or reverse sequential (AKQJ10 suited in that order). 1 in every 649740 dealt hands is a royal. Therefore 1 in every 77968800 starting hands is a dealt sequential royal. 1 in every 38984400 starting hands is a dealt sequential or reverse sequential royal. Both events are less likely than a redraw royal. I have an idea for these casinos: A dealt sequential royal flush with a starting bet of $25 more pays one million dollars. It would be well worth it for the casino with the extra publicity, volume and good will this would generate. Instead of being thought of as just a bunch of "bean counters" they would be thought of as gamblers too that give their customers a shot at huge money. Come on casinos: I want to be "annuitized". The chance of a casino actually doing this - less than the chance of being dealt a sequential royal flush!!

I was at NYNY back when they had FPPE; 4 a.m saw a crew in hazmat suits spraying the joint down because of norovirus outbreak. You wouldn't know reading the newspapers there was a problem.

I got it once on a trip to vegas and it sucked.


All it would take is one ebola victim in Vegas and the casino hold would drop 50% for a year.


Single point of failure comes to mind.

I'd be more concerned about MRSA.



But cigarette smoke in a casino is a much greater, and certain, health risk than either of those.

Makes sense to me, but who knows regarding #3? I would check with Total Rewards first.

Anyone else concerned with catching the Ebola from playing the video poker
machines in Las Vegas? Has anyone heard of any precautions being taken to
clean machines by the casino?

Re: [vpFREE] Re: I just got my first dealt royal!

 

My wife and I have been playing video poker together for about 15 years.
We travel to either Vegas, Reno/Tahoe, or New Orleans about 6 times each year from our home in a non gambling state (SC), and stay for anywhere from 3 to 14 days each trip.

We've each been dealt a Royal Flush once.
In my wife's case it happened at The Hyatt Grand Lodge in Incline Village, NV on a $1 progressive single line machine playing DW for just over $8,000.
In my case it happened at Harrahs New Orleans, also on a single line $1 progressive machine for just over $6,000.
My dealt Royal was a sequential Royal in Spades playing DDB. Unfortunately I wasn't playing on a machine that paid a premium for a sequential Royal.

Neither of us has ever gotten a Royal on the redraw after discarding all 5 cards.

As an aside, I was playing on a triple play Quick Quads machine at the M in Vegas last week and was dealt four to the Royal. On the redraw I hit two Royals. I know that's not that terribly rare, but it surely was an unexpected and pleasant surprise.

[vpFREE] New Seven Stars Signature Experience instead of the $500 Gift Cards

 

here is what is online --

"$500 Nevada Destination Folio Credit
Treat yourself on your next visit to one of our fabulous Nevada destinations with a $500 folio credit. Dine at any of our celebrity chef restaurants or relax at the spa.
Folio credit good for food, beverage and spa at any of our Nevada Total Rewards locations in Lake Tahoe, Reno, Laughlin and Las Vegas. Limit one redemption per Seven Stars member."

My questions and observations and assumptions (right or wrong):

1. I can do this just once before March 31, 2015. Only in Nevada.

2. It is probably like the folio on my Seven Star annual trip except it can be used for food, beverage, AND spa. (In some casinos you can't use the annual trip folio money at the spa.) You have to use the whole $500 during that one stay. You have to charge food, beverage, and/or spa to your room and then they take off the charges (not including the tips) up to $500.

3. Looks like you could use this one-credit offering below with the above:

$500 Travel Credit
Make your next vacation as stress-free as possible. Enjoy a $500 travel credit along with your Seven Stars Signature Experience trip.

Must be combined with another Seven Stars Signature Experience trip menu option.


Is this your understanding, Darryl and others??????

I was playing deuces wild so may well have had discarded high cards, though.

[vpFREE] Re: New 7 star experience credit

 

And what is really bad.....it looks like the $500 Folio Credit needs to be used by March 31, 2015 !! I don't think the Gift Card expired, so could be used longer than that.

And it looks like the $500 Folio Credit must be used by March 31, 2015. The Gift Card could be used much longer.....maybe it didn't even expire?
