Happy New Year!
This group has been pretty quiet because there really isn’t much to discuss as far as video poker in Detroit.
As for Ultimate X, there are a LOT of machines in the area. I haven’t done an exhaustive search but I’d say the pay tables will generally be pretty bad. Also, Ultimate X requires a lot of strategy changes, especially as the number of lines goes up. Probably best to just avoid that particular game.
Also, if any of you get the Gtown offers that say 500 or 800 points gets you $10 in freeplay, the booth told me that the 500 points is base points only. For example, if you are silver, you get a 10% bonus on freeplay. If you are gold you get a 20% bonus. Those bonus points do not count towards the point based offers.
It doesn’t really say that in the rules.
Also, did anyone see a calendar offer from MGM?
