You play slots, I play video poker.
They told me there is a different formula for each. The theo loss on slots is
greater than the theo on vp.
I guess that shoots down my average bet theory, I assume you are not
playing any significant amount of single line quarters or 3 play
nickels. <
You assume correctly about single line quarters and 3 play nickel.
I have heard hosts comment to guests that some people get
higher or lower monthly cash back is due to amount of wins and losses
or due to amount of comps. But I feel this does not really explain my
monthly cash back. I take heavy use of what comps exist...buffets,
dinners a Koko's, food court, blackjack entry fees, hotel rooms, I
know I have had some losing months, but nothing dramatic. <
I use some comps. Karen told me when I called that comps for Koko's were
discretionary, not just point based.
Perhaps the formula dramatically favors the slot player because of the theo,
regardless of wins and losses, although Karen emphasized it was my August trip
average win times the theo of vp that determined my bounce back coupons.
of coupons will be telling, Iknow I had a winning month in Sept plus
it was my biggest play month so far. Have you ever gotten more than
4 x $75? do you monthly cash back come in pairs also...eg two months
of identical coupons followed by two months of different but
identical coupons.<
Now that you mention it, it does seem to be two months of the same set..this
is my second set of $75.00. Before that I was getting $100.00 and $50.00
before that. But I could also (now that I know this is indeed a factor) correlate
it to some luck with a small cluster of RFs earlier this year (3 in 2 weeks,
including 2 in one night)
I do have one additional theory, but it is a bit of a stretch...in
that there is some magic to playing the .01 machines either they are
so profitable to the casino that they tend to give high cashback to
people who play them…or the way you tend to play them maximizes
cashback…they tend to play very so slow so that you get the effect
of high average bet and long hours of play fo a given total point
amount<
Again, .01 slots or vp???
