Another Suncoast Downgrade

If nobody is playing the machine, there's no reason for the casino to keep it.

5% of $0 is $0.

Discovered yesterday that the final two banks of JW2 were all changed to the fabulous 17-7-4700 version of KBJW (98.44% return). Sometime in mid March, after arduous hours of practice, analysis, notes, and tweaking of my strategy on this game, I became comfortable enough with my speed and confidence to play only this game exclusively while at the Suncoast. On any given day that I was there, very few players were ever on this game. Even though the return on JW2 is about as close to break even as you can get, with what I know about the degree of difficulty of this game, I would have to think that any casino that has it must be maintaining a hold of 5% or better. Seems strange to me that just to prevent a very small handful of players from coming close to breaking even, they are completely eliminating what looks like a profitable game for the casino. Of course, maybe it just wasn’t getting enough play. Since the game was only on multi-game, multi-denomination machines, why not just leave it alone? Am I underestimating the number of top skilled players on this game?

It might be even worse if the ONLY people that are playing it are the few who have made the difficult effort to learn it. I can speak for myself, it is a great game and I probably like it so much because I also have taken the time to learn it. It's a challenge, and it's just a fun game. Sometimes quads seem to pop up every few hands. It's fun!

This is sad news. Another "suncoast scapegoat" bites the dirt. Somewhere there is a proud Suit.

----Apparently that is NOT the case. According to Nudge, they kept the game
and lowered the paytable.
