Pick'em = Poof

#1

Sounds like Mr. Fine of LV is using "LV Standards" in Greektown by lowering the payouts on their machines, my ladies are complaining about the tight machines.

The news is actually worse. Three of a kind has been
changed to 20. In addition, the SF is now 1200 so you
get a tax form if you hit one. The return is now under
97%.

Checked Windsor and MGM. Both are still full pay.

Don't make no difference to me...I play at MGM now. Maybe their plan is to chase all the knowledgeable vp players over to Windsor and MGM...it's working!

Yep, don't see any of the group at GC anymore and this partially explains it. Lately I have been playing the $.25 dueces wild and losing moderately.. I overheard a couple of ladies playing pickem express that the new higher pay amount was great and I tried to explain to them that the machine percentage is much worse than before. They didn't seem to comprehend. Guess most gamblers just see that big jackpot at the end to the rainbow so casino management is pretty smart after all !

Preston,

I've tried several times to explain the same thing to several Pick'Em players at GT...same results. Their eyes seem to get big at the prospect of hitting that 1 in 252,000, 10,000 royal. I finally gave up.

Whoops! Make hitting the Pick'Em royal a once in 352,000 hands shot for the full pay game, a and once in 324,000 hands shot for the low pay one.
