'Card of the Day'

Do they hand-pay you for your 'Card of the Day' wins? Do they pay you
for natural 4 of a kind with wild? If so, do they pay you for both the
5 of a kind and the natural 4 of a kind? Is this 'Card of the Day'
process consistent in LV? Is it club specific?

I'm sorry, I meant to explain that 'Card of the Day' was defined to me
as a special payoff for a natural 4 of a kind, regardless of whether
you were playing a natural or wild game.

In every case I've seen, when you get the quad, you have to turn on
the service light and have them hand pay you.

They used to do this at MSS, but I doubt all casinos would.

It definitely seems to be club to club.

This has been my experience as well. In my case the casino paid for
any natural 4K, even on a wild card game.

Every place I have played a wild card game on a natural four-of-a-
kind promotion I got payed whether it was just a natural four-of-a-
kind or if it was a five-of-a-kind with a natural four-of-a-kind in
it. The rule was: 4 naturals in the screen. For example, playing
FPDW and making 44442. I made a five-of-a-kind but got handpayed for
the four naturals in the screen. Good luck.

My question is pretty well answered (and thank you), but what I was
specifically referring to was a club (casino) paying a predetirmened
amount, for example, for 4 of a kind natural 6s, or 4 of a kind
natural 8s.

There are a couple points of significance when determining the
return. First, is whether they will pay this if it occurs in a 5 of a
kind - and it seems they will, but that it could be club dependent.
Second, if it occurs in either a wild or natural game, 4 of a kind or
5 of a kind, if you are paid twice (once by the machine, once by the
attendant). The answer to that also seems to be club dependent.

All these options make it very difficult to program in a game, and
also for the user to input the necessary information, but that is
probably the casino's intent.

I cannot remember ever seeing, or hearing about, a COD bonus that was
paid by the machine. This doesn't mean they don't exist, but I'm
batting .000 for them.

The best example I can use is the Reno Hilton several years ago.
They had an ongoing "Card of the Day" promotion and they had FPDW.
The Card changed everyday. It would be four 6's today, four Queens
tomorrow, etc. It paid $20.

So if I was playing FPDW on a day when the COD was Four Kings this is
what would happen when I hit Four Kings:

1. The machine would pay me for the Four Kings. (which is just 5
for 1 at FPDW)

2. I would have to stop playing and get the attention of an
attendant.

3. They would verify that I had Four Kings, write out a voucher with
my slot card number on it, have me sign it, then they would
personally hand me a twenty-dollar bill. They would also verify that
I played the hand off.

If I made Five Kings with only one deuce in the hand I got paid same
as above.

This is how it has worked every place I ever worked a COD promotion.

I've never had the machine itself pay the COD. But then it has been
quite awhile since I worked a COD.

This is where I had my first COD experience. It worked exactly as
Mickey stated. I was often playing OEJs or FPDW so wild cards were
involved quite often.

BTW, when the Reno Hilton first started their COD promotin it payed
whatever the amount of the quad payed. If the quad payed $62.50 then
you got handapayed $62.50. They got lots of action when the COD was
Aces or Small Quads. They got hammered, of course. So they cut the
amount and limited the COD to fives through Kings.

What's this? A bunch of grown APer's arguing about a stupid card-of-
the-day promotion! Isn't that typical....needing the comfy blanket of
a COD in order to justify too much gambling. And you guys wonder why
I expose these pathetic weaknesses time and again, while casino
managers all over town drool at the thought of you folks sitting at
their machines all day chasing the extras instead of the money. What
a GREAT country!

Don't even mention OEJ. It would be enough work as it is. If people
need OEJ and card of the day, I will make you do the analysis :slight_smile:

Rob,

I am just trying to expose a possible edge, and I simply need to know
how the COD currently exists in LV.

You and I have never had problems before, and we both have common
friends, and with the greatest respect, I would like to keep it that
way.

No problem Jim. If you've had time to read thru some of the posts
here, you's see I throw slaps in the direction of 2 or 3 "special"
people.

I don't ever purposly play for card-of-the-day promos, but the only
place I've seen where the machine pays you for it was at the
Stratosphere on dollars, and they changed the COD on the machine as
required.

The Reno Hilton was the only time I ever had this opportunity. The
machine was called "Player's Choice" and had up to 22 games available
through a set of menus. It was probably ahead of its' time as IGT came
along later with their MG machines. In addition, the machine had a
touch screen (again before IGT). It was more fun to play than any
machine I have played before or since.
