Well, it was a fun 3 days in Vegas...mostly showing the old folks a good time. (they had
not been there for 35 years!) I did get to spend a few hours at the Deuces Wild machines.
Anyway, I feel that I need to post a compliment here concerning the way we (specifically
my girlfriend) was treated at the Palms last weekend.
We had been playing Deuces on those famous (infamous?) Deuces progressives there,
when my girlfriend came up with the four ducks. She then exclaimed that it had only paid
her for $200! Sure enough, she was short $50, and I went to a fellow in the high limit area
for help, asssuming that the machine may have malfunctioned. He came over an did his
thing on the machine, looking up many previous hands, only to discover that she had been
playing 4 coins.
Ouch.
I had taught her to play the "max coins" button on the deal and the play button once she
had held her cards. (I do that to avoid any confusion when things get cranking) She had
been just hitting "play", and apparently it just keeps playing the same bet as you had
before. Somewhere back there she must have hit 4 coins, and didn't realize it. So, when
she came up 4 deuces, she only got paid for the 4 coins, and not 5.
"No problem, anyone can make a mistake"...and the good fellow went away for a minute,
and came back and handed my girlfriend the $50 she thought she had missed.
Now, I know that that is chicken feed to any casino, but that is cool in my book.
Via la Palms.
