New games at MS

#1

Please let us know what you find! I am a huge fan of Spinpoker. (Harrah's Joliet for almost a year had one 25c game with full pay games the other three were about 1% worse. They wised up but retained the good paytables in 2 dollar games but $45/hand is too much for me!

Cool. I'm looking forward to the Spin-Poker as it's a lot of fun.
Hopefully it will have reasonable paytables. On the 100 plays MS has
been fielding a lot of complaints from folks having to wait in line. I
know some people who've scaled back their visits because the 100 plays
are always occupied (usually by someone playing 5 hands for a penny
each!). I think checkers has been a total disaster for MS as few
people ever play it even during peak busy hours. The few people that
do play it seem to do so for the novelty and don't become repeat
players. I'm gratified that MS has taken my comments to heart (at
least on this front): 1. get rid of unpopular games, 2. add more of
the games that are in high demand, and 3. introduce new games. I'll be
examining the paytables firsthand on Thursday. Thanks for the report.

they have removed or moved some of the checkers games and now have

spin poker

and several 100 play multi denomination machines.

The spin poker is full pay at the .25 level, just like Joliet's $1
machines.

I played it extensively yesterday and got thrashed. At $.10 you get
Illinois Deuces whereas at $.25 you get NSUD (an important distinction
from FPDW which is not found in midwestern casinos). Strangely enough
I did very well at Illinois Deuces for which I had to recollect the
non-obvious plays, but got clobbered at NSUD which I play error free.
I was wondering if there's an optimal Spin-Poker strategy but I doubt
it as each line is equal in value unlike MultiStrike or other games.
No Royals and I hit 4 Deuces only once. The thing that irked me the
most was the inability to hit 5 of a kind after being dealt 4 of a
kind. I didn't actually compute the multi-trial probability using the
binomial equation but I'm quite certain that failing to hit as often
as I did was hugely anti-percentage. In fact hitting anything at all
at NSUD proved to be a rare occasion. After this debacle I retreated
to the familiar terrain of OEJ where I actually won, but not enough to
offset the Spin-Poker NSUD pasting.
