Re: [vpFREE] Harrah's NOLA downgrade

 

Rats!  We are already booked to fly there in early March.  Does anyone know what happened to the other pay-tables on those machines?   This will certainly change our plans.  Love NOLA.  Wish they would have just changed the coin-in to get a point like they have in other CET casinos.

Apologies if this question has been asked before. Can a player play the Young at Heart mystery multiplier (up to 10,000 base points at each) casino at more than one casino on the same day?

Re: [vpFREE] Re: Palms Mystery Multiplier

 

Thanks, Ob – do you mind if I nickname you that! Early on I was getting conflicting information from players that I knew were reliable and knowledgeable. I should have figured the problem was from conflicting explanations by the slot club personnel. Once again, we see that finding out accurate casino information is never an easy task!

Subject: [vpFREE] Re: Palms Mystery Multiplier

Yes, your explanation is very clear at least to me.

I believe the confusion started when we were originally told that the
base + bonus could not exceed 40k. In that case with a 3x multiplier,
you could only play 13,333 points to get them all multiplied. 13,333
base + 26,667 bonus = 40,000. Luckily I got a 3x multiplier and proved
this wrong.

From: 'Queen of Comps'

Do I finally have this right – and, if so, does this make things at
least half-way clear???

------------------------------

The "mystery multiplier" promotion which the Palms runs off and on has
caused some confusion because of the "40K maximum bonus" rule. If it
is a "mystery multiplier" day, you will swipe and get your mystery
multiplier which, if you plan to use on slots, can be up to 15x and
there is no bonus limit.

The problem comes if you plan to play video poker. First, you will
only get a 2x or 3x multiplier (nothing higher) and there is a 40k
maximum bonus. It is easiest to understand this if you distinguish
between "base" points and "bonus points." First, you earn "base"
points that accumulate as you play - $1 coin-in earns one point. Then
later the casino will add your bonus points, but that bonus can never
be more than 40K.

Here are some examples of possible scenarios:

You play 10K coin-in and have a 2x multiplier, the casino will add 10k
so you have a total of 20k (base+bonus= 2x)

You play 10K coin-in and have a 3x multiplier, the casino will add 20K
so you have a total of 30k (base+bonus=3x)

You play 20K and have a 2x, the casino will add 20k so you have a total of 40K.

You play 20K and have a 3x, the casino will add 40K so you have a total of 60K.

Now here is where it gets complicated:

You play 30k and have a 2x, the casino will add 30k for a total of 60K

You play 30k and have a 3x, the casino will add only 40K(maximum
bonus) for a total of 70K

You play 40k, it doesn't matter if you have a 2x or 3x; you will get
added only the maximum bonus of 40K for a total of 80K.

Re: [vpFREE] Possible NOLA Downgrades

 

Hope someone can check on this and report. I'm about to book a 3 day stay in March, but that's off if these have been downgraded.

I was at Harrah's New Orleans recently. Great time.

HOWEVER, I went to the casino at 2:30 a.m. on Monday morning, February 22, and the six 3/5/10 Play $1 Video Poker machines in High Limit were all "Out of Service". I never could find anyone (slot tech or slot attendant) to question.

Came back at 9:15 a.m. later that morning and all six machines were still "Out of Service". They all seemed to be working fine Sunday evening. Hope someone can check and verify whether the games were changed.

The only games above 99% I could find available in the High Limit room were the two $100 machines with 9/6 JOB. Have at it.
