I stopped by on Sunday for poker deep stack, but used slot/vp promo of $10 in free slot play for all card holders.
I had not been since fall 09' and last spring . I was forced to update my pin. N.B. This is now done at the cashier cage , not at slot club (always have long lines). New pin worked fine at kiosk- could have downloaded at machines likely too.
I had planned to use 2 other family members Free Play but now could not without ID at cage for new pins .
I did not see the new 9/6 dollar ( 25 coin) JBs in the ceder high limit area listed on vp2, but did find that they had upgraded their lousy .25 jb to 8/5 - some single line and many 3/5 play. old triple plays still 6/5.
The best prior .25 options were 7/5 jacks and 6/5 bp. Dueces still all lousy plays. DB too.
Double down stud may be best .25 game @ one coin. As those machines are not eligible for promos? maybe on multi point days they are better because you double your bet on mostly sure winners?
they have 2x, 3x point days now too.
vp machines no longer show countdown of points - so you do not know where you stand - but I read on vp2 that it is now $250 a point. But you can access account for total points /cash value and download into the machine.
So we are all still Rubes to them, but someone has figured out if people lose less quickly they will play and stay more.
