I have scoured your site and your message boards, but couldn't find
the
answer to the question: does 'doubling' count towards wagering on
full
pay 9/6 JoB machines anywhere (especially Northern/Southern Nevada)?
In short, I believe the answer is no. I don't think there is anywhere
in Nevada where you earn extra slot club points for the double-down
feature which is a 50-50 proposition bet. That said, in a coin-out
casino like a Coast casino or Casino Royale you sometimes earn "extra"
points for monies won on double down bets. Unfortunately, in these
same situations you will not earn any points if you win a hand but
lose in the double-down bet. Therefore, the net effect in these rare
situations is zilch. I have not checked recently, but I think in
newer model machines where you do not have to select "yes" or "no" for
the double-down opportunity on every hand, points are awarded on video
poker wins only and are not altered by double-down results.
