Harrah's New Orleans?

Wouldn't happen to be cruising on the Norweigian Pearl leaving next Sun?

LOL i give up.

If you look up the CET poker rooms on the Bravo app, they all state that it's currently double tier-credits and specifically 34 tier-credits per hour. So I guess that confirms that poker is indeed included in the promotion.

Yes, Harrahs New Orleans. I’m going on Carnival as it was a free cruise from the Palazzo in a suite. My expectations are pretty low for the line, but it is set up well for children. Just so happens my best friends, who live in Vegas, planned and booked a cruise the exact same dates as ours out of the same port. Not the same ship unfortunately but one port is the same. Are you going on the Pearl? What is the itinerary? As I’m curious if it’s the ship my friends are on... sorry for threadjack. Oh and if you are going to be at Harrahs at all would love to meet for a drink and say hello!

You are on the same ship as my best friends! That’s their itinerary too! Too funny. Have a great trip and let me know if you’ll be at Harrahs.

would that include online poker as well? I dont see the promo on total rewards website.... im only at 5k so far this year tier score, i took most of January off. but ill prob do about 2500 tier in Feb gets credited around Mar 3.

Is there a updated thread with the best poker machines to do diamond in a day? has anyone done this lately? specifically in vegas. after reading this thread im anxious to give it a shot in june. good machines still at rio and ceaser? any others??? the links to the machines earlier in this thread are they still good and updated? first thread was 2012 lots have changed. founders card still giving you diamond?

https://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sh...-around-the-US i believe this is the most thorough thread anywhere ive seen.

if you can do it in feb instead you're way better off as they're doubling tier credits

It used to be that in order to get the daily tier bonus, you had to do all your play in the same casino. As in, if you earn 1000 tc in Flamingo, and then go earn 1500 tc in Bally's, you didn't get the 5k bonus, you got the two smaller bonuses.

Does anyone know if this is still true? I'd like to be able to grind some poker at one place and then light the rest of my money on fire in a vp machine in a different casino.

If you do the research yourself, vpfree2.com is the best place to find paytables by far. Just google vpfree2 and the casino name and it'll take you direct to the page. FWIW I think that planet hollywood double super times pay is the best place to do it. My buddy did it in december to get seven stars and had to do like 5 diamond in a days and did them in like 2 hours each day. He ran awful and never hit a royal or basically any hits above 2k betting like $70 a hand but you can also go to half that much per hand and minimize hand pays and still be done playing in 3-4 hours if you play quickly.

Just be aware to take note of the machines that still give $10/tier credit. That's by far the most important thing.

i think you can earn them in multiple casinos but their computer system and customer service are both garbage so you run the risk of some aggravation before getting the bonuses credit properly.

also keep in mind the casino day starts at 6am for tier bonus purposes.

ThanksI I have been reading alot of older post, and checking out optimal play ect ect at vpfree2. was hoping to spark this talk since I will be out there in june and at PH for their early milly gtee tourney so thanks for the insight on those machines at PH.

also you say your buddy did it five days any of those five days did he come out ahead? i see he ran bad, did he lose more then 525 each day ??

Ugh, according to vpfree2, all the machines at Cromwell that are better than 99% are now $50 per tc. Can anyone verify? It wasn't that way the last time I was there doing a Quest.

they were like that as far back as two years ago iirc

I was $50/tc the day they put the machines in.

I wonder wtf machines I was playing...

Not sure if this has been mentioned but CET tier match to diamond is back on for 2018. https://www.caesars.com/total-reward...d-tier-upgrade

Dang, too bad Stations is not on there. It's nice that Boyd is on the list but the status needed to get matched is 250k coin in.

Yeah, but even if you get matched to Diamond. You don't have access to lounges without paying $10 a head after March 31st.

After spending a couple years in Vegas Diamond Lounges I've concluded I don't get much value from them. I'm usually busy at the exact time the food is brought out, the lines are long, and the food is gone in 45 minutes.

If you can stand the variance and have deep pockets, a couple of the Boyd places have 100%+ machines. On the down side, you have to spend a LOT of time in places like Sam's Town or downtown grinding away $250k coin in. I already have Diamond through 2018. I'd hate to grind all that to get Boyd's status and then have CET decide not to match next year.

Boyd's also doesn't have the points bonuses CET has, which makes the difference even bigger. I've noticed at Gold Coast/Orleans that a LOT of the old locals have Emerald cards, which means they spend a lot of time grinding away. On the few 5x multiplier days Boyd's has, I bet you couldn't get within 10 feet of the 100% machines.

The food is mostly crap bit I enjoyed watching games in planet Hollywoods and Cesar's lounges for hours while getting tanked or sometimes taking a break from aria poker for an hour or two while o relaxed in pH lounge

If I'm going to watch a game I'd rather do it in my room or at home, where I have the remote. But then I only watch games I have an interest in, the others I don't give two ****s about.
