Re: Boyd’s " LOYAL TO THE ROYAL" promo,
RULES, 1. “To be eligible for the promotion simply hit a royal flush playing max coin-in on selected video poker machines. Wild cards do not qualify.”
I have been playing the referenced promo over the last two years. I sometimes play a range of hands 8x, 10x, 12x and 16x on a 50x machine in the VIP area. I have hit many times during this RF promo and the main inspection was to verify the hand did have the max 5 coins bet.
Enter Slot Shift Manager, MARK PACHECO whose interpretation demanded that all 50 hands must be played to be eligible for the RF bonus. The max button on many of the newer games/ are directed to the max hands, the multiplier option (Super Times) and other semantics not connected to the 5 coin-in max.
Although quite polite, he was ready to move on. I asked him to read the Rules and call GAMING and I would wait. He did not recant but instead patronized me by saying he was making an exception in my case. I clarified, then, if I continued to play the same favorite machine he would not pay another RF??
He would not.
It was a 6x pt day + the bonus and I had hoped to put on a 20K-30K handle. With his opinion, I then had the choice of 3x, 5x, and even 10x if the paytable was decent. My max bet of $20 was headed for$ 3.75, $6.25, or $12.50
Who do you go to? This beats my experience of years ago when a natural quad promo was in jeopardy if the 5th card was a deuce (2) on a dueces-wild game. I would cover this my hand as many of the verifiers
couldn’t understand the hand.
Watch out for Mr. Pacheco and now I surmise the change personnel on the morning shift. A Slot Shift Manager who doesn’t understand his own promo.
I have been out-of-circulation but had to post this one!
