Colusa's IGT MD/MG work on the following "general" principle, the
higher the denomination, the better the pay table, i.e. it might be
6/5 JOB at $0.05 and reach 7/5 JOB at $0.25 and finally 8/5 JOB at
$1.00.
I did find two sets of machines that might be interesting for those
who can "hustle" Colusa's bounce back checks. The games are in $1
multi-play: 9/5 JOB with quads at 125 credits at max coins (98.4%)
or 8/6 JOB with quads at 130 at max coins (98.6%); if given a
choice, I would chose the 8/6 JOB since there is no need to change
strategy if using 9/6 JOB strategy.
The bounce back "instant rewards" amounts are based on your previous
average play and must be played in designated machines. It was not
unreasonable to get $10 or $20 in weekly instant rewards -- some
people were getting as much as $40, if not higher. What people do
is to go on a Saturday, and redeem the coupon for the first week and
then wait under after midnight to redeem the coupon for the second
week. But, beware as when I first started to do this,
the "midnight" line was a few people and now the "midnight" line
might hit 50 people at midnight. Urgh! I stopped playing at Colusa
when they started short-paying the vp games.
Colusa has added ticket redemption machines, in addition to
traditional live cashiers, for its TITO system, which reduces
downtime and vastly improves their service.
Again, check the machines before your play.
