This is a good example of why you can't just look at video poker in isolation, the optimal strategy depends on the complete situation which varies by casino.

Not for me. 99.1% wouldn't have gotten me in there in the first place.

Also, it's one thing to know after the fact that Suncoast royals would nix mailers from several related properties. It's hard to know that up front.

Also, it happened my royal cycle at the Suncoast was about 20,000 hands over an 8 month period. Other casinos, my royal cycle seems to be 80,000 hands --- at least for certain periods of time. I have no idea how many royals I'm going to hit at any particular casino in the next six months.

Were I underroyaled at Suncoast --- equally probable as what actually happened --- playing the special strategy gives up half a percent needlessly. Most $2 and $5 players cannot afford to give up a half percent and still stay in business.

So, I think we've established that you do play progressives, it's just a question of at what point you begin play.

Pretty strong endorsement for playing max-non-Royal strategy to get the most value from the mailers and non-Royal hands before you get "no-mailed".

max-non-Royal Bonus Deluxe looks something like this:

ER=99.1%, VAR=25

2PairOrBetter>4SF>HP>4FL>4STo>3SFo>3FL3-1H>4STi4-3H>2FL2H>3SFi>KQJ>4STi2H>2H>1H>3SFdi>4STi

Could not find anything about the Senior 50+ Slot Tournament on the "new" South Point website.

Is this 50+ slot tournament still offered on Thursdays?

[vpFREE] Re: Money Plays on Flamingo?

 

There's a description of this coupon and the value in one of the back issues of LVA. I remember the coupon gets the base quarter game to near breakeven. I think there is also a food promo as well. If you combine the 2, it is okay recreational play but not a money maker.


Also, you might trying searching the LVA forums and see if there is anything on the coupon and games.
