Tax Day at the D

#1

I received an email Wednesday that the D was giving a 28% bonus on all W2Gs on April 15. That would add 6% to a $5 9/6 DDB game. Even if the game were reduced to 8/5 DDB, it would still be worth almost 103% --- with a slot club.

I dropped by at about 9:30 p.m. the night before. MUCH too late. All $5 machines were being occupied (there were only 6 or so of them) and not being played. Although one guy recognized me, I didn't recognize any of the players. I assume these were $10 per hour "sitters" who were killing time holding the machines until the midnight witching hour.

I'd love to hear a report on this. How long before the D pulled the plug? Or did they? Those 6 machines could have easily cost them more than $500K if they paid promptly and allowed it to go 24 hours. If they butchered their pay tables, it would cut their losses to only a quarter million. I would have set the over-under at 3 a.m. --- but I haven't spoken to anybody who was there. Anybody kicked out?

Now that it's over, anybody talking? Inquiring minds want to know!

It lasted until 6am, no one kicked out, there were plenty of open machines at that level at both the D and Golden Gate that were open all night. All the machines at both long bars in both D and Golden Gate have $5 single line 8/6 Bonus Deluxe with a progressive (returns over 104% at reset). Keno was also a positive play.

Thanx. I never play there and so am not at all familiar with the layout. $5 8/6 BPD with or without a progressive would be quite acceptable during that promotion, especially if there were extra machines to play while waiting for a hand pay.

Oh well. Too late now.
