[vpFREE] Re: Earning Harrah's Reward Credits for Table Play

 

Thanks SO much for all who took the time to educate me about table game RC's. Hopefully I can repay everyone at least a little bit by continuing to share information on my blog and directly here on these forums.

Also your help was much appreciated in answering one of the questions (about multi- vs single games) in my latest blog.

If my blogs or posts seem a bit "fuzzy," it could be because I am updating both Frugal 1 and Frugal 2 and my brain is fried!!!! I want to get them both finished quickly before my memory completely fails me!!!

You said:

"When I urged him to change from 6:5 tables to 3:2 table tables, he told me, 'blackjack payout isn't as important as
avoiding weak players."



My response would have been: "If you want to avoid weak players, then you should never play at a table at which you find yourself playing at" ;)


Kinda like if you can't figure out who the fish is at the poker table, it's probably you.

[vpFREE] Gaming on Carnival Inspiration

 

Forget the VP. Horrible pays.
For blackjack, a table with a $15 minimum (or higher) pays 3-2 for
blackjack, lower tables pay 6-5 EVEN if you play at higher stakes. The 6-5 tables
were very active including my friend who played at high stakes ($25 and up
with a simple 'win a hand increase the bet' progression. When I urged him
to change tables, he told me, 'blackjack payout isn't as important as
avoiding weak players. They spoil your hand by drawing when they should not.
He pooh-poohed my suggestion that they help as often as they hurt. I went
off and played at the other tables, leaving him to his superstitions.

I made a mistake in the first post. "Don't ask, won't tell" was when they wouldn't tell you how fast the meter ran or what your balance was, just if you had enough comp dollars to cover the cost of whatever comp you wanted." But if you start at the beginning of that system it's not hard to figure out.

Most places I played when I was in Nevada the comp and cashback meters for machine play ran at a steady rate. Some places would just tell you something like "cashback is .25% and comp is .25%" while others would just tell you what your balance was but nothing else (we called this "don't ask, won't tell").

The Peppermill casinos in Wendover were a case in point. No cashback there just comp dollars. It can take several attempts to get it figured out exactly. At first it was easy, I ran $1000 in action then went to the booth and asked them how many comp dollars I had, $5 they said. I did this a few times and it was easy to figure that the comp meter was running at .5%. Then when I hit a certain card level I had two comp dollar accounts. It took a lot of running certain amounts of action and going back to the booths asking how many comp dollars I had to figure out that the regular comp dollar account was running at .45% and the Passport Points account was running at .35% for a total of .8%.
