You didn’t leave empty handed, Pig! They had some lovely parting gifts for you, a straight and a flush!!!

This slightly made up for busting the main event 20 minutes before the end of day 2. Of course I can't help but think about this "only" being a 3x.

Know it is fun to watch the pings, but when kicker doesn't matter, hold all 5 cards. Elimates machine malfunction chances.

People say this. But has anyone ever had a machine malfunction on the draw? Or the ****ing deal for that matter. I haven't.

I've never seen proof of it happening, and I would need convincing video proof to even possibly believe it.

Neither have I, but it has been mentioned on this thread a time or time before.

I would always let my fifth card go for the pings (it is really fun, especially at $750 a piece!)

But, if it malfunctioned, I would probably be suicidal.

Yeah, I don't see why it would be more likely to result in a malfunction. Could just as easily have a malfunction holding all five cards and pressing deal as opposed to holding four cards and pressing deal.

VP fiends,

As of two days ago the progressive VP bank at Cosmo near Clique lounge is up over $7800 for Triple play .25/line TDB. The baseline should be $3000 for a drawn Royal so it’s pretty bloated. I didn’t hit it but I did win $200 when I hit 4 aces/no kicker on a line Ongoing video poker "TR", how long will this last?

You mean for a dealt royal (technically a royal on all lines)? $7800 is a terrible jackpot for that. The 5 play version got north of $100k earlier this year and the expected return was still below 100%.

A $7800 jackpot for a dealt royal adds: ($7800-$3000)/$1.25/649,740 x 100% = 0.197% to the base return. The "all lines" rule is virtually negligible.

The base return would be 95.97% for 8/5 TDB, or 97.02% for 9/5 TDB. My guess is it's 8/5, but I never looked.

Yeah that's ghastly. The triple play with decent games at Orleans dealt jackpot gets much higher than that.

For years I have read Tringlomathmane's take on VP and odds and
respect his dedication to keeping the numerically challenged illuminated.

Please elaborate on where this information can be found? A thread, a book etc.?

Some of it is in the mostly dead thread about VP in the "other gambling games" section. I also post under this name at a few other Vegas/gambling forums. I honestly think about this game way too much. Much more than I actually play it...doh.

Probably a good idea since it's mostly -ev.

Starting to get the old excitement for Vegas back with my upcoming trip; haven't been since March and with all the negative changes at the Wynn there's not as much to look forward to. Bankroll has taken a huge hit with the last Vegas trip, new roof and solar. Needed a little padding and I got some yesterday-



Was playing 30-40 lines a bit before this. Of course.

Result-

Spoiler:



Stepped back up to 40 lines immediately after and 5 hands later I'm dealt quads again... 9s. Meh. Still a huge day.

You'll probably be staying at the Wynn again? I would think so since they usually give you cash and/or free play, right? I guess you don't want to screw them over by taking the "gifts" and then not play until you've secured a place somewhere else. OTOH these hosts all talk to each other so it would behoove you to be "taken away" by another host rather than bailing out. Could be some drama on this trip.

Yeah, we'll be at the Wynn this time bc we're going with friends and this trip was arranged about 6 mo ago. I'm using the comp to the max, got them a sick suite, multiple days of cabana, etc. I don't rate that at Aria yet since they haven't seen me play. My plan is to check out what's on offer at Aria at some point and meet my potential host. If all goes well I'll likely stay there in Sept. That's all TBD bc if I run like sheyet this trip who knows maybe I'll be staying downtown

Gold Coast sounds better than downtown, at least it has good paytables.

New roof and solar?

Good experience? There are some questionable outfits here in San Diego

It was alright... we decided to do solar, but knew that eventually we'd have to redo our roof anyways. No point in putting on solar without first taking care of the roofing situation. 36k later...

The work took about 2 weeks total, I guess not bad given they had to take everything off and start basically from scratch. Still. Frickin' home improvement things, so expensive.
