New Marketing Genius at Rincon-at least he thinks "Genius"

[Rod_Braswell]

Great news all of you out in VP Land. In a wonderful stroke of "Genius" the new marketing director at Harrahs Rincon came up with the following strategy to bring in more business at my local Harrahs. In a matter of two, perhaps three days, they managed to reduce the pay schedules on every full pay (or near full pay) machine on the casino floor. I didn't bother to look in high limit as I stomped out of the place. Did, however, complain to any and all who would listen. There was a coupe who had driven to Rincon from Arizona because they had heard of the very good VP play there. When they over heard me having a "discussion" with a slot tech they immediately went to check out to go home. The keeper of the machine inventory for VP FREE can consider changing the list at Rincon with the exception of the sole three old bonus poker only machines that remain at 8/5 for dollars and twos. I say consider the change as it will take a machine by machine check. I noticed two like machines side by side where one had 7/5 Bonus (dollars) that paid 1/1 on two pair. The other had 6/5 with 2/1 for two pair. I didn't take the time to go to every machine in the house. All of the pay scheds I refer to are for dollars. Less than dollars is, of course, much worse.

JOB 7/5
DDB 8/5
Bonus 6/5
Deuces 4oak down to 20, 5oak 8
I think DB remained at 9/6

Every casino in the area still has full pay in abundance. That's PALA, Valley View, even little Pauma has better scheds. Rincon did this in 2008 and ended up shooting themselves in the foot. However, I've heard that Rincon is doing better than any of the LV properties, which, if true, can't be left alone, can it? I am 7*. I called my host and told him I can no longer play there when there are so many better games within a few miles. For what it's worth, he was sympathetic.

WOW, what semi intelligent person would play with these pay tables?
They are worse than Las Vegas Nickel pays.

We just got back from Rincon for their monthly $1000 every 10 min. giveaway. We played for over 14 hours. Did not get picked, but did not lose too badly. We were planning on going back in April again. But with this news, there will be nothing to play! A friend of mine went to New Orleans where they were doing the same thing. All the "players" had the machines locked up by 5 am for the promo.

We picked Rincon because there were a lot of choices in and out of high limit. They have so many slot machines why do they have to mess with those old video poker machines??? Even WITH a decent pay table you are still a loser. It isn't like you can make money on these machines without cashback, promos, etc. Anything less than 100% is a loser.

I hope this madness doesn't spread to other Harrahs Properties.
