Deadwood, SD VP ?

#1

For a friend who just hit a Royal in Deadwood on a nickel Deuces
wild "vp" machine, (playing less than the 40 coin max) I gotta ask:

As there is no South Dakota VP listed in the vpFree database, I
assume the games are NOT random RNG games.

I also did a search of "Dakota" & found nothing for the year or so in
the archive of vpFree messages.

Should I send my friend to a tribal compact or to state regulations?
They aren't like Oregon State Lottery VP are they?

By-the-way: those crappy OREGON state Paytables - ARE GETTING WORSE!
Unbelieveable how much of a beating people will take.

Sorry if this is re-plowed ground, but maybe someone knows the quick
story.... thanks.

I don't recall any SD discussion on vpFREE, and don't have
any knowledge of VP randomness or lack thereof in SD.

I'll set up a DataBase page for any casino when VP inventory
info is available.

I visited Deadwood several years ago and played some live poker,
supposedly in the Saloon where Wild Bill Hickok was killed. That
was before I got interested in video poker.

Well.... thanks (Tom)! I guess if a listing would help ferret out more info as my post
ages and heads toward page 2,page 3, page 4, ....lost...never to be read again! One-
post threads unanswered can die on the vine all too quick.

I took the vpFree link to a worldwide casino database that lists many dozen casinos in
Deadwood. Way more than anywhere else in that state. I'll peruse them all closer,
but the few I looked at did not have video poker machine counts or types listed
separately.... very... suspicious.

Also, the source for my info was not any sort of vp player, couldn't tell me anything
about the paytables, etc. I forgot to ask about the old match card trick. So I'll do
some of my own diggin' too. Follow-up questions.

You'd think there's gotta be at least one member who lived or been thru South Dakota
recently. If it's you and you're a lurker- good time to come out & hit the reply button!
Or maybe you can send a friend or family on a scouting mission!

Maybe I'll get private e-mails from the ghost of Wild Bill sayin, "A REAL cowboy
wouldn't play no dad-gum electronic GIZMO!" (I'll share that if I get it).

I wonder if there's sawdust on the floor. Or spittoons. Atmosphere. That's what them
ol' RE-ZORT fancy-pants Nevada JOINTS is missin'. At least they got the purdy
cocktail waitresses idea right.

Yee haaa.

Lucky Lucy and I were there a few years ago. It is a unique town and
experience but the VP really sucks. Go for the history and scenery
but don't expect to find decent VP. However I would avoid the trip
when the big motorcycle rally is going on at the next town of Sturgus.
Most casinos are very small with only a few machines -- mostly slots
-- and one or two tables.
