There's a report on the database update page of there being ten
MG/TITos with 1-50 coin fullpay KBJW. Can the original poster, or
anyone else, verify this? This would be the only occurence of FPJW
in higher than dollar denoms (the net effect is as if you were
playing a $2.50 machine) that I have ever seen.
Interesting to see if THIS play gets mugged--it's worth over $60/hr!
Since downtown Reno is within the operating radius of Team Nerd, I
have very little hope, but if anyone is reading this and packing
their bags for Reno, let me offer some advice:
1. Don't sit there playing for nine hours at a time.
2. Deliberately slow down your play a tad.
3. In general, don't dress, or act, like the high-IQ societal misfit
whiz kid that reinforces casino management's stereotype of the
dangerous professional advantage gambler.
4. Order a drink! You can just sip it if you want.
5. TIP THE FREAKIN' CHANGE GIRL on a handpay. Nothing will end a
play faster than the rumor circulating that there is a high-rolling
stiff on Bank 27A.
6. Don't clog several machines at once. There are other plays in
downtown Reno (not as good as this--but profitable). Play some live
poker. Even if you ARE a team, don't ACT like one.
Remember that SL is trying to upgrade its VP inventory with the hope
of becoming the most attractive place to play for the local and
visitor CASUAL PLAYER. Attracting a cadre of pros who will milk this
play for all it's worth until it's yanked is NOT what they had in
mind at all. They don't feel--and rightly so--that they exist to
provide a living for a bunch of oddballs who refuse to get a real
job.
I'm sure that the above advice falls on deaf ears, but hey, I'm
feeling quixotic.
BTW: If anyone wants to blame this post for the play's demise, I
would point out that the info is and has been right there in the
database for all to see (which I agree with wholeheartedly).
I certainly hope that Team Nerd and its analogues don't burn Reno VP
to the ground the way they have done in Vegas and Tahoe!
