Hey everyone,
Going to Mandalay in a few weeks and was wondering if there are any VP
machines worth playing there. Anyone have any luck there lately?
Mandalay Bay

Not that it is anything to get too excited about, but there a few
stray multigame machines that still have quarter 9/5 DDB. Before
anyone throws a hissy fit, yes, 9/5 DDB has almost a 3% house edge.
But by current mega-resort standards, it's about all one can expect
from these places.

Thanks for the input...I guess I'll have to go elsewhere for my VP fix!

It's been a couple of years since I was last year, but at that time
the machines were 3 or 4 9/6 DDB banks with a fast 4-way connected
prog. (RF,SF,Aces,2-4). The meters were sufficiently fast that these
became interesting from time to time.
The database here still reports these in place. I take it these were
downgraded since. In fact, are these machines still metered (not that
it would matter at 9/5)?
Were the machines still at 9/6, there aren't compelling reasons to
play there. Modest play of less than $10K won't generate any future
mailers, although I was able to garner a "pity comp" for the coffee
shop for $40 (2 buffets were alternatively offered up).
I'd recommend hauling butt down to Caesars to get rated for a future
stay. Beautiful property and $.25+ Jacks and NSUD, plus good
multiplays at these denominations. There are other good strip options
as well. Check out the database here:

That said, on a good midweek promo, MB is a very nice stay. Very nice
room, especially if you opt for the midweek upgrade that at about
$25-$40/night will bump you to a beautiful suite on an "if available'
basis (occasionally a double upgrade if you're especially gracious at
the desk) and give you roaming access to the private member HOB
Foundation Room. (Full year 7 day access runs something like a
grand.) Not much going on there weekdays, but it's still pretty cool
to check out and a great place to sit over a drink - as I said, it's
been awhile). Wonderful view of the strip from a top floor balcony.

The DataBase shows 25c 9/6 DB (not DDB) progressives:

Stayed at M. Bay last month and nothing worth playing for long term sessions. Luxor next door has tons of 8/5 Bonus Poker at .25 cent level. May be your best bet if you want something within walking distance.
