Point accumulation for Boyd properties downtown

#1

I was at the Fremont for a couple of days last month (before
BConnected started). The wife and I normally play JOB, but this time
we played a lot on the Boyd "Treasure Chest" machines and had a blast.
They were a lot of fun. Out of about 25 - 30 4OAK, we got a couple of
'500' coin wins, about 6 250 wins, and the rest 140.

However, I noticed that my point total was not increasing as fast as I
thought it should, so I decided to check it. I checked by current
points, then ran $10 coin through, and checked again, and found out I
only earned three more points!

I went to the club booth and talked to a supervisor about it and she
verified with me that some video poker there was indeed $3 coin in per
point. She told me that it was because they had some machines that
paid back 99%. (I did not inform her that 9/6 JOB and 8/5 Bonus poker
also returned more that 99%.) I did check one of their two .25 JOB
machines and points on it were at $1 per point.

I did not check their Pick 'em games.

Here is my question. What games at ANY of the three downtown Boyd
properties require more that $1 coin in per point (not including 5
cent games)? They all have 'Treasure Chest' games. Are all of them $3
per point also?

Also, I think this should be noted in the database.

Anyone having any info on this would be appreciated...

Note: $3 per point on Treasure Chest while 9/6 JOB is $1 per point is a good indication that Treasure Chest is a strong game. Perhaps those of you who play the game could pool your quad stats to get a better idea of the payback. An average $184 quad would put the game at 100%.

I've only played about 15,000 hands on the game, its fun, but my average quad is only about $160. TC is offered at casinos that have full pay $1 10/7 , so you'd only play TC for fun and the DB for serious coin. It hurts when you get $140 for quad 2/3/4/A where in bonus poker it'd be a lot better ...Tom
