MGM Grand $1 5-10 play 9/6 Jacks Pay tables downgraded ...

On Thursday morning around 10 AM the 3 $1 5-10 9/6 JB machines outside the
high limit area were shut down at the MGM Grand. Around 3 PM 2 techs were
working on the machines. Later that day there were back up but the paytable was
now 8/5. There was a shopping spree weekend from Thursday to Sunday so I
was hoping that it might be temporary but it now seems to be a systemwide
degrading of the paytables. There are now 8 $5 9/6 JB in the high-limit area on
the far left as you enter. They are connected to a progressive royal but it
increases very slowly (about 2.5 cents per $25 deal). Someone might want to
check to see if they are still shorted.

More likely the downgrades are to prepare for the 2X Holiday Points at
most MGM-Mirage properties that starts today and lasts all month. In
the past, holiday points were worth about 0.111% when taken as
FreePlay. Jack or Better 99.544% plus cashback (now FreePlay) 0.333%
plus double holiday FreePlay 0.222% makes for a slightly positive
play. Better not use one of those strategies for people that rode the
short bus to school or your edge will be gone!
