Two weeks of VPFree Messages

#1

I was in Las Vegas for the week following the Super bowl, I have just
now completed reading through all of the digests of VPFree and VP-
Mail messages. I don't want to think about how many hours I spent.
There were a few kernals of interesting information and a few smiles
derived while filtering through the clutter.

Here is what I learned in a nutshell:
The Suncoast downgrade of their FPDW is either an experiment to see
if advantage VP players have legs or it is a sign that the end of the
world is near. (I think it is neither)

Skip Hughes is either a dictatorial closed minded egomaniac, one of
the main influences on the VP inventory of every casino in Las Vegas
or a nice guy that runs a great service for VP players. (I think it's
the third choice)

Advantage play of VP machines for a profit is either an impossibility
for mortals because they don't live long enough or is causing most of
the casinos to lose money on many of their full pay VP machines. (I
don't care which is true since I'm still ahead)

I won't make any wisecracks about the Native American casino issue.
But I will ask one question of the people who suspect machine
gaffing, if you operated a casino in a near monopoly location would
you gaff machines or lower the paytables knowing that your machines
would be played several hours per day either way?

As long as this site is still about sharing VP information I'll add
that I found a bank of .25 9/6 JB at Paris LV while on my trip to LV.

There's no question that at least for some of the older, non-Vegas
benchmark machines, the paytables had nothing to do with reality and the
games were fixed to give a specific, highly negative return. But your
observation holds I think for the modern IGT/Williams etc. games you'll
find in reservation casinos.

Can you point us in the direction of those 9/6 JOBs at the Paris. I'm going
to have to stop by there in May on orders from my significant other.

Orders from the significant other is the main reason I spent time
there on my last trip. There is a bank of Upright multigames with
1.00 9/6JB near the craps tables with a Paris Blackjack face plate.
The bank that the $1.00 machines are back to back with are quarter
machines, the one not being played that I checked had 9/6JB. I will
be returning mid March on another trip and will verify the rest of
the bank and provide a more detailed location description if needed.
