Yeah, I know it is beatable with over 100% payout+comps and all that.

I just figured in 2017 that the opportunities were much fewer and further between. Why would the casinos allow that? Can't they just change the odds of the game and eliminate that edge?

My friend plays and beats it as a hobby and knows some people who beat it but I figured that those folks must really have their ear to the ground and be last of a dying breed.

The odds are regulated by the Nevada Gaming Commission.

They have to pay out > 100% on a certain number of VP machines though? Didn't know that.

I just figured it was more of a promo thing.

Everyone knows about this game.

I do not believe that to be true, there was actually a big stink up here because one of the casinos here got caught spying on another casino so see what their payout percentage was and got fined one million dollars for doing it.

Are you saying there are +EV situations when the machine pays < 100%? Not factoring in comps and all that.

No... most of the +ev situations dried up over the last 5+ years. But there were machines that paid out over 100% with optimal play. Most of the money made was through promos and bonuses.

Video Poker percentages are easy to calculate because all you have to do is look at the pay table.

There was a game years back in AC called All American. I believe it was paying around 102ish before comps and promos. Good times.

Ha I'm getting the itch now to try some video poker. Can someone explain the difference between 8/6 and 9/6? There's a place here in town offering 7x comps on video poker right now.

9/6 pays 9x for a full house and 6x for a flush

8/6 pays 8x for a full house and 6x for a flush

Obviously the 9/6 is much better and considered a full pay machine.

8/6 returns 98.39%
9/6 returns 99.54%

I assume you're going to use some play charts to know the optimal plays?

These are the play charts I use, when I need to look up a play:

Pick'em Poker use to be awesome at Hilton in Vegas. I'd get limo pick up, room, food, etc on $1 play

 

[bigbet1234]

Casinos really are stupid. You have to play exact to get that payout. Have you seen the way most play? They are playing at a 50% payout. Lol

Yep exactly what I'm doing. Got the chart on my phone.

Yeah, that is what I thought you meant.

5 years ago....Law suit.

 

[metro]

LOL Kravitz was his lawyer .. Kravitz is only good when the negligence is so overwhelming there is only a negotiation for re-numeration..

he is all name only when it comes to going tooth and nail trying convincing someone the soft tissue injuries are all.. for what PADDocks injuries were
he needed one of the up and comers .. Kravitz wants his cases handed to him on a platter .. like straight forward malpractice resulting in death or dismemberment .. not soft tissue injuries.. for that he wont lift a finger .. just file paperwork with his name on it and see if it sticks.. thats bush league

 

[AlwayzRight]

No the FBI says he checked in on the 25th instead of the 28th after PROOF was shown valet took his car on the 25th...why did they lie about this? Now they tell us the security guard was shot 6 minutes BEFORE the concert shooting...which was another lie. WTF is going on????????????

 

[Greenbacks]

Let me do some research......I'll be baaaaaack
