Hey everyone.
I just came back from a 4 day trip to Las Vegas. I stayed and mostly played at Main Street Station where on Thursday night I got my first Royal Flush in Las Vegas!
I also played at the Palms and took advantage of their 48 hour new member bonuses such as 2x points, 500 free points, and free play.
So, as a VP player of course I talk to other players who play along side of me and watch them play. I was just astonished that many of the players had no idea that a strategy even existed for VP play, and many just went with 'feelings' and 'hunches' making some rather strange holds. Of course, I never say anything to them about it or attempt to correct them, that would be rude. Most of the time players where holding a card when they should have tossed them all, missing 3 to a straight flush, or missing the inside straights when they should have hold them. Most of the play I observed for DB and DBB from most people was probably only giving them a low 90's return rate. With what I can see the majority of people playing like that, then the casinos have nothing to worry about and there is no reason to degrade the paytables at all.
Casinos I played at this trip:
Main Street Station
Plaza
Downtown Grand - where I got 4-aces with a kicker on the progressive!
The D
4-queens
Golden Nugget - just enough to get the promotion prize for new sign-ups
Cromwell - on the machines near the entrance that where good
Ballys
The Palms
Gold Coast
I mostly played 8/5 BP single line.
Overall, this trip was very successful for me and I hope to get good offers from a few of the above casinos I can can go back very soon.
