Full Pay $1/$2/$5 Pick'Em back at Fort Erie

Good news! As of today, Jan 22, Fort Erie has 3 HD Gamemakers with full pay Pick'Em. You can play $1, $2, or $5 up to 10 units at once. As usual, 5 units bet gets you the bonuses on the top 3 hands.

The 3 machines are located at the North East portion of the casino.

Played at bit for $1 then accidentally switched to $2. Got 4 Aces at max coin for $2400. Nice! Pick posted on the VPFree forum.

cheers!

Just wonderin'

Hey just wondering what the cash-back, bounce back situation is at OLG
racetracks these days. I haven't played VP since they removed the full pay
pick'em machines from Niagara. I remember getting a letter a while back from
the OLG that stated they were reducing the Player Points for VP machines.

To make a long post short just wondering how the full pay OLG
Pick'em machines compare with the Rama 9/5 JoB, when its all included. Also,
apparently there are some decent BJ machines available at Rama. Do these
machines play at 100% or better when its all included.

Thanks in advance for the help.

There are no good blackjack machines at Rama. The only halfway decent ones that I have seen are at casino Niagara. If you play at casino Niagara on their double point Mondays, the BJ machines would be very close to %100 including cashback and mailed checks if you played perfect strategy.

A.P.

I live in the Niagara Region so thanks for the information. I stopped going there when they 'shrunk' the casino. But might make a visit now.

As far as I know, OLG SLOTS facilities doesn't have bounce back cash; however, the cash-back percentage (with slot card) on video poker is: .2119%. So, for FP Pick'em Poker (with perfect play) that is a total return of: 100.1650%.

At Rama, the cash-back percentage (with "Platinum" slot card) for video poker at $1 or less is: .4000%, at $2 it is: .3000%, at $5 and $10 it is: .2000%, and at $20 it is: .1500%. So, for FP JoB at $1 that is a return of: 99.9439%. The bounce back cash probably puts the total return over 100% and their comps (and service) are WAY better than any OLG slots facility.

For me, If I were a full-time VP player, then Rama would be the best bet for my money. If I were only a recreational player, then any OLG Slots with FP Pick'em would be my choice.

That's my 2 cents analysis, anyways!

Good Luck!
