Sun reduces comp rate to 0.33% on UGLY VP machines

#1

I put $100 through the worst VP machine I could find, a $1 machine with 7/5 JoB and 8/5 DDB. I got $0.33 in comps for a rate of $300 = 1 point or 0.33%. The pre-August rate was 0.66% on all video poker machines. As reported earlier, the better machines with 9/6 JoB, 9/6 DDB and FP Pick'em NOW have stickers on them proclaiming "0 Points on this machine" and they mean it.

At 5:00PM on a Saturday afternoon, I had to wait in line to play the UGLY machine, and someone grabbed it as soon as I was done.

Now THAT is "ugly". Don't be surprised if they don't make money off these downgrades. Sounds like a calculated decision to chase away pests like us. I wonder if the fullpay PE are getting much play. To me they were like watching paint dry.

Well, the final nail in the coffin! Now you'll need $480,000 coin-in to earn
Sagamore - FOR SIX MONTHS. For under $1MM, you can pay for a room on Friday or
Saturday nights, and have to beg your host to get tickets to certain concerts.
Even though Foxwoods has had a $300 coin-in rate for a while, their Gold level
is only 800 points, and gives better bennies.

The Sun has set.
