A Curious Question Re: Lowering Playing Denomination

#1

I've cut back my VP play by at least 90%, perhaps more. Something else has
been proving to be outrageously more profitable, particularly after two
straight years of getting absolutely creamed at VP (all 99.9% or better before
slotclub bennies). Those two years saw Royals numbering zero. Still play once
in a while but so infrequently that it takes some time at VPW and/or WinPoker
to brush up on strategy.
Got bigger fish to fry. But I do still enjoy reading the vpFREE posts,
particularly the more amusing discussions such as what names to give to games that
are all simply Ugly Ducks.

So what's more outrageously profitable? Counterfeit bills? LOL

Here's a VP story of earlier times, not quite as profitable
as using counterfeits, but reasonably close for a lot less
risk:

I forget what year it was.... but it was around the time
that bill readers were first being installed around LV.

A local player discovered a 5$ denomination
VP machine that gave 100 credits for a $100 bill.

I do know this player but have never queried him about that
situation. Perhaps the many years that have passed will
make such a question less of an intrusion. Next time
I see him, I'll ask.

Just last week a different player that I know discovered
a machine that had a high maximum coin bet. But, the
payouts for the normal 5-coin bet were incorrectly set
to be the same as for max coin bet for all hands of quads
and higher. Just for fun I ran the payouts through WinPoker
to calculate the return.... it was greater than 300%.

G'luck all,
Gamb00ler
