Is this something new, within the past couple of years or so?
I remember in the past, depending on the promotions and the weather, video poker players could earn 9X and 10X points..maybe even more..I guess they caught on they were giving more away to sharp video poker players in bonuses and comps than they were taking in.
It used to be EV+ for a good video poker player just to churn during the big promotions and when it was 100+ degrees or raining..not anymore..
Haha, it turns out you're operating under old (new) info. They did cap the point multipliers some months ago at 3x. There were a few people who I used to notice only on big multiple days who never showed anymore. I was obv disappointed to lose the points, but one of those guys would just camp out at the multi line machine I like to play and with him gone there was an upside.
As of 1-2 months ago though, they've brought it back! Now VP players (again) can get the same multipliers. I'm sure enough people complained and they realized they were losing money trying to scrape that last little bit of ev from the few that have a clue.
