[vpFREE] Re: 5 Joker Poker

 

I did look at that, but the Strategy Maker doesn't have anything for Joker games, and this is a special game where there are 5 jokers in the deck. Not sure if my question was stated clearly, the game in the VPFree2 database is listed as JW5 They call it Five Joker Wild, and I think it is also called Five Joker Poker. The Wizard did have expected return tables (without strategies) for a variety of joker games, but nothing with Five Joker Wild. In the VPFree2 database, the pay table is listed and the expected return is 99.59%.

I am working on a strategy on my own in the meantime. I'm a computer programmer, fairly knowledgeable on how to write code for this, and I pretty much understand how to calculate the probabilities, But I don't always know what I'm doing and can very easily make mistakes and/or miss something important, so if I have to figure this out myself I'd at least want to verify it against something else. And ideally, I'd rather not bother trying to figure it out myself if someone smarter than me already figured it out. I need to have a strategy within 3 weeks from now when I go to the Tropicana, so I can play something decent there and have a chance at getting comped rooms in the future. I want to make sure that my strategy is correct and at or at least very close to 99.59%. Otherwise, they have nothing playable and I wouldn't waste my money playing there. So if anyone is able to find anything, I would greatly appreciate it.


One other thing, this is shown as a progressive at the Tropicana (Atlantic City)? Does anyone know what the progressive is for? The non-progressive payout is 800 units for a natural royal flush or for 5 jokers, and I'm wondering which hand has the progressive. I suspect the progressive will have little or no effect on the strategy, but I just started working on this and could be wrong.


If anyone wants to see my results when I'm done, I'll be happy to post them. According to the VPFree2 database, this game only exists at the Tropicana in Atlantic City.


I did find an online game (not for real money), but with a worse pay table: http://igromat.com/run/five-joker-poker http://igromat.com/run/five-joker-poker

This game shows you what cards to hold, but the strategy would probably be somewhat different in this game and I wouldn't trust it. I might try using their pay table in my program and see if my strategy matches theirs, if it does I might at least have some confidence that what I'm doing is valid.

[vpFREE] Re: XVPfree: Bingo at Plaza

 

I don't remember what year it was that Becky shut down the bingo at the Horseshoe. It was about that time that the Plaza opened up their bingo room. I had it figured that the 9 AM and 11 PM Plaza sessions could be played at an advantage because of the lack of players and the same payouts as the busier sessions.

I bought the cheap blue packs for $4 each and when you bought 4 you got two extra six-ons so was playing on 36 cards. I played it for several weeks and showed a $3700 profit.

The final game of the session was called, I think, my memory is fuzzy, the Bonanza Coverall. It was a progressive with the jackpot starting at $5000. On this game 48 numbers were drawn before the session started. A 3-on for the game cost $1.You then daubed all the numbers that were drawn before the session started. If you figured to be to far out to have a chance you simply went and bought another 3-on. You could keep doing this until you had a card or two that was only 4 or five numbers away.

A good percentage of the handle for this game went into the progressive because it would frequently go above $20,000. In the first week you had to hit the coverall in 48 numbers to win the jackpot. Then the number would move to 49 for the 2nd week. Then to 50, etc., etc. If the jackpot did not go then there was a $500 consolation prize for hitting the coverall.

During one stretch the number got up to 52 and the room was still just pulling in the usual number of players. The week ran from the 9 AM session on Monday to the last session on Sunday. Then the number moved up.

So on the Monday morning when the number went up to 53 I was surprised to see that the room was packed. It was then I realized that there was a subculture of gamblers that chased these kind of bingo progressives around Las Vegas. I had the good fortune to meet one of them at my table.

One of the interesting things he told me was the number would never get to 54. That at 53 numbers the jackpot always got hit. All of the sessions were packed that day. And sure enough the progressive got hit early the next morning.

[vpFREE] Re: Seeking recommendations for a VP app for an Ipad

 

I have used Video Poker Wizard for a little while now. You can enter unique pay tables to display ER, variance, hand frequencies, etc. You can drill. You can calculate ROR. It's not nearly as useful or versatile as Wolf VP or BDWP, or even FVP, but it saves me from having to tote a laptop. I used it to analyze a number of interesting progressives on my last trip to Nevada.

[vpFREE] Re: TR Vegas Casinos Monitoring VP Play For Comp Drinks

 

I don't see any material problem with the monitoring equipment; in fact, I wholeheartedly welcome it and look forward to its adaption at the casinos I play.

I play a small number of casinos where the best game is found on bartops. I've encountered no end of frustration on Fri/Sat nights, waiting for a machine to open while watching the bartender in question gladly refill a free drink for someone who wagered a couple of credits for a minute or two, happy for the flow of tips.

I have reasonable confidence that such "monitoring" will be implemented in a practical manner.

Another problem is multidenominational machines and tables with wide spreads, these tend to get occupied by minimum betters - casinos should have more machines that don't have the silly minimum bets, by silly I'm referring to bets of 5 cents or less on machines or $5 or less on table games. Some of these types of loss leader type games are fine in a casino, but they shouldn't be found on virtually every machine or table. A potential customer who wants to bet larger bets shouldn't have to wait for a minimum better to clear a machine.

Re: [vpFREE] Whats there to do outside? (Borgata)

 

There is a nature walk along the marsh that will eventually lead to Harrahs. (Bugs can be irritating at certain times of the year.)

Otherwise I don't think there is much to do outside. The only negative I can think of when staying at the Borgata.

You can drive over to Brigantine and wander around.

I'm a vodka drinker and yes I can get top shelf vodka with no fees charged. I've seen single malt scotch on the bar.
