[vpFREE] Re: Harrah's Philadelphia

 

Jo Ann, thanks for keeping us informed. These updates are now in vpFREE2.com.

****************************************************************************
From: Jo Ann Wible

The one machine in the high limit room that had full pay Joker Wild two pair at the .25 denom now has a poor pay joker game.

The machine still had other full pay games at the .25 level, but is marked $50 per point.

I notified Vpfree2, but they have not shown the change yet on their site.

Re: [vpFREE] Boyd New Outlook

 

>Running off customers will not work unless they are being replaced by new players that don't have a clue about what the payscale means. Not likely on Boulder Hwy.

I don't understand these strong opinions by those who don't run
casinos about what will make a casino profitable, only based on the
fact that it took out machines that we want to play or didn't give the
point multipliers that we want. The Plaza had a great promotion for
more than a year that I played heavily. Since they stopped it, it
looks more like a ghost town to me, but the only basis on which I'd
form an opinion about which was more profitable to them is what they
ended up doing. I assume they know better than I do what is
profitable for them. I suspect those who say that casinos hurt
themselves by hurting us are just reacting emotionally and have no
evidence to support what they're saying.

[vpFREE] Boyd New Outlook

 

Sam's Town is a regular stop on my 2 to 3 times a year Vegas tour along with MSS. I agree with nudge that something has come down from up above to remove the higher EV machines. First the 9/6 draw up stairs and now the FPDW by Dunkin Doughnuts. The economy has improved so maybe the Exes want an increase in the bottom line. Running off customers will not work unless they are being replaced by new players that don't have a clue about what the payscale means. Not likely on Boulder Hwy.

[vpFREE] Re: LV Sun: Las Vegas Club closing begins Sunday

 

Here's the news article I was quoting yesterday:

http://www.reviewjournal.com/business/casinos-gaming/downtown-las-vegas-club-close-renovations

----- Forwarded Message -----
From: vp_a_gogo <vp_a_gogo@yahoo.com>

An LVRJ article about the Las Vegas Club closing says that the new owners "purchased "the real estate and the building". They "did not "buy the business or any gaming assets.""

In view of that, I would say that any progressive jackpots would be transferred to the Plaza. It's even possible that some of the LVC machines themselves will be moved to the Plaza.

Re: [vpFREE] Sam's Town Mystery My Aunt F( )<#!*g Fanny

 

No, I do not believe that I stated anything in my original post that putting
the machines back in to attract more people to play them would make Sam's
Town more money. First off, mathematics is what guarantees that all casinos
on this planet make money. Location of a casino is certainly also a factor, as that
is usually a big contributor to the financial health of a large chunk of your
clientele, and in recent years the neighborhood that this casino is in has been
going the wrong way economically speaking. Before addressing the question that
you asked, let me state that I fervently hope that any casino that I choose to play
in make's boatloads of money every quarter, including Sam's Town. If done on a consistent basis, increases
in revenue in profits will usually be a positive for all intelligent players and leads me to
believe that the operation is doing a whole lot more things right than it is doing wrong.
My thoughts about the current management team at Sam's Town is the reverse of what I
just stated above, and I do not believe that the management people that Boyd has in place at
this casino has the gaming knowledge or skillset to post good numbers with any
consistency. All that said, I do not believe that putting the FPDW machines back
in place will make Sam's Town more money, I absolutely, definitely, and passionately
believe that it will. I will try tonight when I get back home to compile some
numbers and observations to state the reasons why.

>Since Sam's took out 8 of the 10 FPDW quarter machines that they had removed shortly after the first of the year, both of these players, who are older than 50 only play on YAH Wednesday.

Are you saying that Sam's Town would make more money if it attracted
more people to play FPDW?
