MGM Curtailing Comps For Advantage Slot Players - Page 2 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

I can't imagine any modern casino does not track every pull. Which player club number pulled it, the time of day, how much money they risked, and the result of the pull, among other pieces of data.

Been doing for many years. Almost all of this info is on your win/loss. What isn't there, they still have.

Video poker has been very cruel to me lately.

Not a slot player (that is the wife department). All I can really share is that some machines are high variance and others lower. I suspect the ones that can be situationally EV+ or close to it are higher variance.

From watching the wife, the bigger the jackpot or even just wins, the greater the variance.

I'm sure there will be a little bit of collateral damage to this new policy. Like, some slot players who play mostly a small number of games that CAN BE advantage machines, except they play them no matter what the conditions are.

After all, somebody has to be playing them under bad conditions for them to end up in a favorable state.

They could easily end up getting swept into the category of "Advantage Player" if they're only playing a handful of AP games.

I’ve still never really understood how “advantage” slot players can -know- when a slot machine is +EV. Unlike video poker, the exact EV of a slot machine is in not knowable to the players, unless they have inside info from a casino employee. And even if you know the overall EV, how do you know how much of that comes from the particular bonus round you are chasing?
