Re: [vpFREE] Masks in Casinos

 

Well said. Exactly my sentiment.

Re: [vpFREE] Masks in Casinos

 

Regarding the mask issue. A friend who visits akchin has mentioned less than 50 percent wear masks. Gave an example when playing at table with three player maximum. He sat down by himself, later two other players sat down, their partners stood in the open section, all four did not wear mask. Sadly the mask issue has become a political issue. If you are in your 70s with all the other issues this causes problems with playing st casinos these days.

Re: [vpFREE] Acronyms

 

I suspect he was particularly stumped, as I was, by GGWU.  But the list and the link are worth saving in case other new stuff comes up. I'll add FP = full pay (with "full pay" meaning different things to different people, I think).

Paul,

Judy's list is helpful.  For more background on video poker and gambling (and terms related to them) I suggest one of Jean Scott's books - like "Frugal Video Poker" or "The Frugal Gambler" or "The Frugal Gambler Casino Guide".  I found her books extremely helpful when I was just getting going on playing VP.

VP= Video Poker
Slots= anything where you spin the reel
BJ= Blackjack or 21 as it is sometimes called

RC= reward credits (at Caesars $1 in =1 RC, )

TC or tier= tier credits 
(at Caesars $5 in for slots and $10 in for Video Poker (VP)= 1 tier credit.

GGWU= Great Gift wrap up points, at Caesars, an event in Nov. and Dec.  These points are separate from other rewards and accumulate separately and often have many bonuses thru out the year.  They can be redeemed for gifts or free play at the special event.

5x points or 5x tier means you will earn 5x the regular amount.
Multiplier, means the same, but the multiplied points or tier credits vary with each casino.

Status, is amount of tier credits earned, applicable to certain casinos to get a certain color card or benefit.

Any other questions about abbreviations I would be happy to answer.

Re: [vpFREE] Masks in Casinos

 

I wonder whether the only people who end up wearing their masks in casinos will be the people who have been 86-ed or are in the "Black Book". Just a thought ;-)

Re: [vpFREE] Casino offers creeping back

 

I worked for the government and I also appreciate the humor. By the way if you click on the link at the bottom of all vpree e-mails where it says vpfree links you will find a lot of valuable information .
