"COD" = card of the day. This is a promotion offering a

First, I will assume ms vpFREE and SWMBO are one and the same.

Card of the Day (COD) is a standard issue VP promo. Get the COD in
its natural form and the get a bonus, a handpay situation. Playing a
COD, usually it is good to have an extra slot card and machine to
play if you are a bit impatient.

I don't think the River Palms COD deal has fully been explained on
the vpFREE forums, so here goes:

There is an area located on the lower casino level, south end, called
Winner's Wharf. It has existed for a few years now. It used to be
deliniated by heavy ropes, which the new owners (Columbia Sussex)
deemed unnecessary. The cocktailers (very good daytime) enjoy the
new setup.

In this area are about 100 IGT machines in fullpay versions (slant-
tops and uprights) in .25,.50 and $1 (DB only in quarters). You
swipe your slot card at a kiosk located under the Winners Wharf
sign. You get a random (?) personal COD, which is good for 24 hours
or until you hit it.

The deal is a 100 coin bonus or, if you have a facecard kicker, the
payoff is doubled. You get the floor person's attention and show
them your slip of paper. They verify that your machine is loaded and
match the ticket to the slot card. They walk over to the kiosk and
generate a new personal COD ticket for you. Usually, just a quick
handpay for the bonus payoff and you are playing again!

Since you can play full-pay Jacks, Double Bonus, Bonus, Double-Double
Bonus and the rare White Hot Aces (9/5) in Winner's Wharf, the COD
can add a nice premium (.3-1.3%).

It is in a quiet area of the casino with the bath rooms, poker room,
sportsbook and the new promotions stage adjacent. Walk out the near
south doors and you can fall into the swimming pool complete with a
nice view of the river. It really is one of Laughlin's best all
around VP plays.

Appreciate the explanation. Have been trying to define the game to
Frugal VP 1.1.0.8; thus far, without success. Appears, per eyeball
analysis, that one would NOT tend to break up two pair or a full
house to improve odds on getting COD; but that it "might" be
worthwhile to keep a COD pair when one would otherwise draw to a
straight and/or flush.
