Re: [vpFREE] Zero Cust.. Ser. at Sam's Town LV

 

Bravo, this is the best post in the whole thread. Running freeplay through a poor paytable only costs peanuts. In the long run it will only improve your image. A sharp player should already know that. And that's if you have to play the freeplay separately from regular play. It's better if you can just play it off on a play. And frankly, the way things are nowadays, if I were to play FPDW, I'd play without a card. It's not the 90s now, that era is gone. There's nothing wrong with playing FPDW, but do it anonymously. The benefits are practically zip, and you risk flagging yourself.

For me, there two takeaways from this thread.


First, the vast majority of casinos are poorly run. I personally like it this way. While the fact that most casinos are run by incompetent fools can be frustrating at times, I'll gladly accept some level of aggravation over an intelligent operation which presents us with little to no opportunity for making money.


Second, many otherwise intelligent players are making foolish decisions. Running off free play on the best game in the casino is one such example. The bean counters who are cutting staff to save costs are possibly the same people who will yank machines which are underperforming. Obviously, running off free play is going to hurt the holds of any machine, and if we use the best games in the casino for our free play, it will only accelerate their demise. Collectively, we would be better off if we targeted machines with less than ideal pay schedules for our free play redemptions. We might be giving up a couple bucks for every $100 of free play rewarded, but that's a small price to pay compared to the increased risk of losing the game used to generate the free play offers in the first place.

[vpFREE] Re: some thoughts on the April 5 GWAE radio show

 

I don't have any further details about this dispute, but the Hard Rock promo from last year came to mind. That's the one where they first gave us a huge number of gift points, then took them away later. At least they are letting us transfer the gift points earned with this year's cancelled promo to regular points or gift cards.

P.S. I'm surprised that the Hard Rock LV hasn't been sold. That place is dead during the week. Maybe they are making enough from weekend liquor sales. Their weekend pool parties are very popular maybe at least partly because UNLV is nearby.

P.P.S. The original subject of this thread was the April 5 GWAE radio show. This was an interesting one to me with a lot of video poker discussion. The guest was Mr. "Max Coins".

From: Vegasvpplayer:
And I thought that promotion got stopped early due to lack of interest! We recreational players always get left out of the loop.

If I read this notice correctly, it sounds like the original investigator sided with the casino. I wonder what they feel Frank did in violation of the promotion.

It adds volatility without increasing er and it is likely to have a worse paytable than many machines right next to it. Sweet.
