Main Street Station's FPDW Gone?

#1

Hi everyone,

I'm gonna be coming to Vegas for Super Bowl weekend and it looks like
MSS removed their full pay deuces machines. Is this true? I haven't
been to Vegas since Aug. of 2006 (only because I'm in school, I usually
go three times a year), but those machines are all I play when I've
been there. If they are gone, anyone have any suggestions on where to
find FPDW downtown? It looks like El Cortez is the only place that even
has a + deuces(DDW)game, but I don't know the strategy for it. This
sucks for MSS if FPDW are gone because I usually come with a bunch of
people, 5 this time, and I'm the only one who plays VP. Whatever they
lost on me I'm sure they made back, plus, from my party. I guess I'll
have to take my party elsewhere from now on.

Hey Henry,

MSS dumped the FPDW some time ago. They replaced it with TDW--an ugly
game that I don't recommend. You can find NSUD in quarters at MSS.
Best game ER-wise is 10/7 DB. ElCo is probably your best bet with DDW.

Good luck, and have a great trip.

A funny story, I was really mad at MSS when they removed the FP deuces. I had been $800 lifetime behind playing them and really wanted a shot at getting my money back. But , I played the triple deuces ( 99.92 ) anyway and hit 3 ducks, for a $1500 profit ( plus about $60 in more for four coupons ).... Tom

There are a few DDW, 100.92% (16/13/940),
games at both El Cortez and Vegas Club. If you are proficient at FPDW, there
are only a few changes that you have to make to garner most of the ER
playing this version. The following is a list of those changes.

3 DEUCES

This is copied from one of my files, so I don't know how it is going to
print in my email post. If you have an questions, ask away. If you use any
of the reputable VP training software, you should be able to set this game
up for your practice.
