3.2. Re: Two Things Going On
Date: Thu Oct 15, 2009 2:46 pm ((PDT))I wish I knew where you are finding these great plays. The best
that I've seen in this area is an occasional dollar 9/6 JOB or
8/5 BP. At the Casino Queen, in E. St Louis, IL, there is also a
bank of 25c 9/7 DB games, and a bank of dollar 10/7 DB with the SF
and non-nonus quads shorted to 239 coins. And that's the BEST that
I've found! I have not found a single playable wild game in IL. No
NSUD or even 99% Joker games.Where are the Optimum banks, containing FPDW, FPJW, 10/6 DDB and
10/7 DB, which can STILL be found in Nevada? While playing these
good games, you do accrue points and comps much more slowly, and
your theo may be zilch, but, at least, the games are still
available in LV, Reno, Laughlin and perhaps other NV venues.BTW, I still am fully comped (room and food)in all my favorite
casinos, while playing their best games plus some slightly under
100% games.I welcome your imput, or correction, if that is appropriate.
I guess you'll probably consider this a "correction", from your perspective.
You are clearly a more discriminating player, with broader skills. I just play Jacks or Better, and find a lot more 9/6 in the midwest than at my own favorite casinos in Vegas; my preferred denomination is $1, and I can find plenty of that here, while in Vegas I seem to find only higher denoms, if any 9/6 at all. If you have a broader set of games to select from, apparently you can do better in Vegas (and yes, I know I ought to learn some other games, but I just don't play often enough to motivate me to do it -- maybe this winter that will go on my to-do list).
The games I play are at Majestic Star, and the two Horseshoes in Indiana, for the most part. The last couple times I was at Horseshoe Northern IN, they had two banks of $1 single-line 9/6 JoB with a progressive royal (two different banks and two different progressives), one fairly close to the poker room and one a little further away. They also have a couple 3-5-10 play $1 Super Times Pay machines in the high roller slot area.
Comps are not that great at any of these properties, although I do get treated reasonably well at Horseshoe South, if I'm interested in eating a lot.
