(Fwd) VP Free Database Updates/Comments for Reno/Tahoe

Peppermill:

The problem with attempting to do a database update of any sort for the Peppermill is that it's hard to look at any machine at all that offers video poker and not find something worthy of mention. The other issue is that there are constantly small changes to the inventory.

NSUD is available in every denomination from $.05 to $5 pretty much throughout the casino, single line and 3/5/10 line, and on progressives at various levels. It may even be available on denominations higher than $5, I haven't checked those lately. It's available on spin poker, and may still be available on 5 line multi-strike. It's available at high max coin coin numbers on some machines (25 or more coins).

Aside from NSUD, there are hundreds of progressives in the casino (oK, maybe not hundreds, but I would not be surprised if there were over 100 separate meters), at denomations from $.05 to $5 (I think the higher progressives may be gone).

It would take someone dedicated a long time to note everything in the casino, and by the time they were through they would have to start over to note the things that had already changed.

Report what you find interesting about the place and you can help the database, but don't be surprised if the Peppermill listings are incomplete or inaccurate.

Grand Sierra Resort:

As for the GSR, yes there are VP machines that you can play your free play on. You have to hunt for them, though.

Harrah's/Harvey's Tahoe:

As for Harrah's, outside of AC I've never played at a Harrah's property that has cash back. Some places I've played used to, but AFAIK most of the Harrah's properties do not at this time. You do get bounce back mailers from most of the Harrah's casinos, though.

The 3-coin $100 machine in High Limits has NSUD, too. That's how high it
goes. Peppermill is an NSUD casino.......most multi-game vp machines have
NSUD, single-line, 3/5/10 play and 50-play.

Harrah's/Harvey's Tahoe:

I stayed at Harrahs in Maryland Heights, just west of St Louis in mid-April. They had cash
back, and I'm guesstimating it at 0.20% of coin-in as I had about $30K coin-in with 4 hrs
times 5 days play and got back $60. That's a crude estimate. The casino database listing
reads confusion, so maybe cashback is not just a single % on all games? :

$10-coin-In = 1 Base Reward Credit
Bonus Reward Credits depend on Theo and other factors
Bonus Reward Credits: None on the better VP
CB or BBC: 450 Reward Credits = $1
Earned Comps: 100 Reward Credits = $1
Cashback AND Comps

This is the only Harrahs I've played at, so I've never tried to figure out the system.

Thanks also for the Pepps summary. Even summarizing their games is a chore!

Harrah's Reno usually has one day a month (next is May 27) that you
can redeem comp for cash, at a 50% discount. Both Harrah's Reno and
Tahoe let you buy Simon Visa debit cards with your comp, used to be
one-for-one, but more like 50% now, or slightly below. Both properties
have comp multiplier days, up to 7x (next Reno is May 13). Base comp
rate is 0.1% on video poker, plus a bonus, which typically doubles the
rate, comp is displayed at the machine. Marketing usually aggressively
gives away multiple free room nights (real free rooms, not subtracted
from your comp account), based on your daily average coin in. Harrah's
Reno has 8/5 SAB, NSUD, 9/6 JOB and DDB, and progressives, look
around, it's not that hard to find. Best game at Tahoe is 9/6 JOB,
best at Harvey's is 8/5 Bonus. Check the yahoo harrahscasinos group
for details.
