Still 5 cycles behind on deuces though... ouch!!
Good wording Monet, will be interesting to see, what our resident OCD threadmaster organizer will say :) No need to mention names, everybody knows. 5 cycles for deuces is pretty brutal, are you on par, with the more important royal cycle ?
Nice hit......
Ooh, more of Monet's slot machine numbers.
42,200 = 2^3 * 5^2 * 211 = 8*25*211 ---> August 25, 2011.
The first entry at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal...2011_August_25 for stuff that happened on this day, "More than 50 people are killed in an attack on a casino in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico."
Very nicely done Monet, congrats (looking at that pay table, it seems that Thursdays must be a good multiplier day). Good job on bringing new life to this thread also.
No reason to go into all the specifics as I know you know.Quote:

A few other factors go along with this specific machine.
The play is not for everyone and you have to be able to stomach some serious swings.
You always have larger risk with backside plays that people just don't want to bother with.
In Vegas, it seems Degenerate Gambling is not only Encouraged but Legal!
Although, I have had some problems recently getting cut off of card clubs or asked to not play machines anymore.
Why do they offer these high denomination machines if they don't want anyone to play them?
I guess they put them out for profiling and to trap players :)
On a related note the Cosmo seems to be a good spot right now as they are sending me some massive mailers.
Who would of figured the Strip would have Full Pay games and Good Mail in 2020??
You might find this interesting about my psyche.
I am sitting here thinking how I need to buy a SCAR 17 .308
Which is really sick because I have 2 sniper rifles, 2 assault rifles, 2 shot guns, 5 hand guns...etc etc.
The problem is when you get locked into addiction, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
I'm literally having a conversation with myself laughing because its like an angel and devil on my shoulders.
You don't need any more guns you nutjob, says the angel.
Of course the devil is like... fuck that... you need more... you need them all!
Great stuff Monet - glad you are tearing it up on the AP side. I suppose that is one of the few benefits of the Covid-19 scam - the strip is desperate LOL.Quote:

Great hit Monet. I must confess I play far worse BDW pay tables than your mailer BDW machine by a long shot , but they always have multipliers left on them by previous patrons per the example shown from my old post (https://vegascasinotalk.com/forum/sh...ll=1#post90092 - you wager more than this win in a few minutes on your BDW machine).Quote:

I still bang out nickel and quarter machines when opportunities arise.
As I have said many times, my sweet spot is 20 dollars an hour.
I have literally played 125 dollars per spin for 4 hours (quarter 100 play machine) and drove across town to play a 3000 dollar royal quarter bonus poker progressives.
I still play full pay quarter deuces with no card because I love it.
I also have no qualms about picking up tickets left in machines, credits left in machines, a penny on the floor or whatever else is going on.
I don't preach all the goody two shoes shit about Casinos.
A dealer overpays me... too fucking bad :)
If a cashier gives me an extra hundo, I'm keeping it.
I agree - we basically have the same style. Yesterday I was picking off penny denom UX multipliers for example.Quote:

Good for you Monet with those two really nice hits! I do not know if it is appropriate to ask certain questions here or not as I do not want to overstep my bounds by upsetting anyone here, as I will try to keep it basic if I get out of bounds just tell Dan to ban me.

I realize the player must reach different qualifying requirements for the mailers to be sent. What does the percentage free mailer itself return entail? Meaning, Is it distributed all in free play that is divided up to use daily or weekly, throughout the month, or distributed all at once which I doubt? Using your above example of a 2% mailer return which was 1600 a month mailer for $80K coin in per card used I think I have this right. You mentioned that the strip has full pay machines, does that mean that with perfect play and 5 coins in the machine itself pays over 100% or over before any mailings involved? As I would not consider a full-pay jacks or better at 99.54% a full pay machine by itself without something else included. My assumption in all of this is that each casino ownership has different mailing offer percentages, and basically that only people that live close by are able to get the most value out of the mailing offers. I have no knowledge of what you and tableplay mentioned regarding video poker games that have point multipliers and apparent bonuses based on this, and that other players or plops leave machines that are in a bonus mode that are worth searching for. I thought only certain slots had features like that not video poker.
I could answer you directly but I've already gone into lengthy detail, a few times, on this forum.Quote:

The thread link below is a general answer to your question.
The information is out of date but the fundamental concepts still apply.
Although, you do not consider 99.54% JoB Full Pay, it is considered to be a Full Pay game in the world of Video Poker.
Anyone who actually wants to learn should start small.
Out of State and Local ID matters.
My advice for new players is to do something else like Farming, Camping or anything else.
Stay out of the Casinos.
Save yourself!
Especially with this new Corona wrinkle.
I'm just a stubborn idiot with 29 years of experience that has decided to go down with the ship.
But I actually put my money where my mouth is.
I mean, I don't theorize like the Wizard or others.
I actually am out there, shoving hundred dollar bills into machines, faster than you can imagine lol.
Anyone who is interested, I seen a 3500 dollar jackpot at the Fremont on the Red Hot Sevens.
That's just about the starting point.
Personally, I'm taking some time off till I get itchy again.
I'm trying to figure out how I can safely accept the DarkOz Challenge for New Years!
I mean, Corona is real and people are dying but to be able to follow, talk and win a free dinner from DarkOz is worth the risk.
Below is some old Jackpot Pic to show the game I am talking about.
I've talked about it before in the past.
https://vegascasinotalk.com/forum/sh...713-Hot-Sucker
Thank you Monet. In the earlier post you mentioned you being told not to play certain machines, and I am well familiar with being flat bet, told any other game but, trespassed and told never to come back as well as losing accumulated point balances in the past. Thank you for the link I read it before and will read it again but I will take the clues you just gave me to take a pass on the effort.
Oddly enough, I did see 100% JOB at the Atlantis (Reno) at one time. IIRC, they boosted the straight flush enough to make it 100% (9/6 with a boosted SF). I'm sure other VCT members have probably come across this paytable in bygone years also.
No doubt.Quote:

Same thing when you say Full Pay and refer to a game under 100% return.
Technically speaking 8/5 Bonus Poker is Full Pay even though it has a 99.17% return.
I think people confuse the word "Return" with "Full Pay".
Sort of like how some people don't like when VP players say "I flopped a quad."
They want to argue that you were dealt a quad.
It's an obvious disconnect of semantics.
I mean FPDW is 100.76% Return but you refer to the game as Full Pay even though its over 100% Return.
I guess one could argue that its actually an Over Pay Game.
Finding a machine that had "Overpays" were fun back in the era of coins!
Cash-out, Cash-out, Cash-out...
I've told the story before but nobody cares.
A friend of mine figured out how to deflect the coins with a coin so you wouldn't cut up your fingers.
We made a few dollars at the bars in those days.
Those were the days of getting black out drunk and watching my pal throw 4,000 dollars in the streets of Reno.
I think he watched "The only game in town" one too many times.
I've witnessed his real life runs at the dice table going from his case 10k to walking out with 400k back to Flat Out Busted inside of 2 months lol.
If you ever seen that movie about Vegas and Degenerate gambling you might understand.
Warren Beatty makes a paper boat out of a 100 dollar bill and floats it down to the storm drain outside Caesars Palace, if I remember correctly.
Pretty good movie that captures our lifestyle choice.
Interesting note is that he is playing dice exactly where they shot James Caan and his Black Jack run in the Gambler.
The two movies are only about 4 years apart from one another.
Full Movie on Youtube...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqea...y4ZhgkJB8f7v6w
Not sure if they filmed that craps scene at Caesars Palace or not.
Sure looks like it but I guess this film was shot in Paris.
Taylor insisted so she could be close to Richard Burton.
Sinatra was supposed to play the lead but had a conflict of interest.
They made a good copy if it was faked.
Maybe they faked the scene with James Caan too.
I'd prefer my version that they filmed both movies in Vegas.
As usual, things are better in my mind.
On a personal note, I have had that experience of looking for where all the money is hidden like Warren Beatty in that scene.
Its kind of like how Eddie Felson tells Charlie... Boy, you better give me that money... in the Hustler.
I've never just floated money down a drain but I have given homeless people large sums of cash after some tilted session that went sideways.
I've never been one who would run to the hock shop like in this movie but that pal I was talking about has many, many times lol.
Somehow he always got whatever he pawned out of the shop.
Mind Boggling actually how many times he could make something out of nothing.
And that scene where he runs his case 100 up to the moon is real.
I've seen it happen many times.
Damn, those days were fun but gone forever.
EDIT:
According to IMDB they did film on location at Caesars Palace.
They also filmed in Paris and LA.
The Stratosphere for many years had many 25 cent JOB that was either 9-7 or 10-6 my late wife liked to play those machines. We even participated in those Vegas World packages quite often.Quote:

And some non-wild card games as you mentioned (USA/All American for example). And then there is the one-card-hold low card shit that you might encounter in a game like two pair joker poker - there would have to be a very good reason for me to study this game and learn it well. Well I'm ranting, you know all of this already.Quote:

Full Pay - my take on the definition of this is "the best pay table you can find on the given theme that is not Unicorn rare". I'm sure VP experts like Dancer or Shackleford can come up with something better or already have.
I've heard people online refer to Super Pay pay tables in VP - these are always player-positive EV pay tables (Monet's 10/6 Vegas JOB is a perfect example of this IMHO).
What are the opinions of playing Full Pay Pick-em poker machines that are available in one casino that I play at?
Pretty good. The game comes in at 99.5% and has a single-coin variance of 15 (by comparison 9/6 JOB comes in at 19.5) and the discard strategy is pretty easy to learn. Please keep in mind that since the premium hands like a SF and a royal are much rarer relative to non pick-em standard counterparts like JOB (the variance in the upper part of the pay table is higher and the variance in the lower part of the pay table is lower than standard VP to round out the total variance of this theme), you do often get a feeling of getting slowly ground down (I guess you could say that about other VP too ;-)). IMHO, I think it's a decent choice for ABCing your free play or getting enough points on a free play day to qualify the free play (other decent ABC choices are 3 hand JOB, 3 hand Bonus Poker, etc. if they have "decent" pay tables).Quote:

"You know what's interesting about the number, 36,614?

Actually, I think, if you factor in the leap day, the middle of the year is July, 2nd, at 9 am, depending on what sort of time is used, ie, savings, or not. As well, 2*18 = 36, and, 307 ---> 37, so, 36.614 lies between. Who knows. Ha.
Guess who was born on the 2nd."
To put all of this together.
The first numeral, 4,183.66 ---> 418366 = 2*13*16091 = 26*16091 = [(2 + 6) + 9*2]*16091 = {[(1 + 1) + 6] + 9(1 + 1)}*16091, which may be wrapped around the 16091 as ... + 9(1 + 1)}*16091*{[(1 + 1) + 6] + ... ---> 911_16091_116.
Moreover, also 418366 ---> 4_183_66 contains the centered numeral 183, which, again, may denote the 183rd day of the year, the middle day of the year, July, 2nd. And, 04_183_66 may be written as [sqrt(9) + 1]__61*3__66 = [sqrt(9) + (1 + 1)^0]__(61^1)*sqrt(9)__11*6 ---> 911_6119_116.
Furthermore, note the 1, 3, 6, and 9, digits on the bottom row of the first slot, with 3 = sqrt(9). And, the letters h = 8 = (6 + 2) = [6 + (1 + 1)] ---> 611, and, p = 16 = (10^1 + 6) ---> 116, counting forward in the alphabet, or, h = 19 = (10^1 + 9) ---> 119, and, p = 11 = (9 + 2) = [9 + (1 + 1)] ---> 911, going backward in the alphabet.
Guess who was born in the year, 1961.
Well, with this bit of farting around, while I slept, I think that I have, finally, locked in the final sequence to the dimensions of my theory of everything. I mean, you have to get the mind off something to really and actually solve it.
Thank's tableplay. I think the game comes in higher than 99.5% I thought it was 99.995% I will have to re check.Quote:

I watched it today and thought it was very good.

VP runs goofy at times.
My record is 6 sets of deuces and 2 royals on a different game.
I've actually done that twice over the years.
My record for quads is 11 sets in one hour.
My friend had a record I will never get close to.
He hit 11 sets of Aces on Full Pay Double Bonus in one session of about 8 hours.
Not sure if he remembers as he drank a fifth of Crown Royal.
Those were the days of coins and he was surrounded by full buckets of quarters in every direction.
So, its impressive because the machines were slower and hoppers had to be filled.
Freaking Progressive Meters were off the charts in that era.
Players were literally making 80k per year playing quarters.
I guess odds wise, my most difficult dealt hand was a left to right royal in spades.
Odds Wise?
Is that how you spell that lol?
It only paid me about 1500 as I wasn't on a sequential royal game at the time.
The game was good though as they reset the meters incorrectly and it was about a 5% winner.
I made a right to left royal on dollars, online and it was supposed to pay extra.
They claimed it had to be 10 to A and not A to 10.
Probably lying to me.
I've had multiple hits of 5 royals in 5 consecutive sessions on single line which is kind of odd.
Most people don't understand that I've played some serious hours over the years.
60 to 80 a week, hours on end, over and over, just pushing buttons.
After 20+ years it seems to catch up with you in a negative manner lol.
Attacking your immune system and physical body.
Sitting for extended periods of time and never ending comped casino food is a recipe for disaster to those that fall into trap. Eat less and move more.

Oh right... I used to laugh at a couple guys playing 2 and 3 machines at a time.
A few years later and I was doing that stupid shit myself.
Sickening!
Sort of like taking pictures of jackpots.
I scoffed at first.
A year or two later I was taking them too.
Years down the road and I'm a jackass posting them on the interwebs.

Yes, it's 99.95% and not 99.5% - typo on my part and sorry for error.Quote:

Please keep in mind that since the premium hands like a SF and a royal are much rarer relative to non pick-em standard counterparts like JOB (the variance in the upper part of the pay table is higher and the variance in the lower part of the pay table is lower than standard VP to round out the total variance of this theme), you do often get a feeling of getting slowly ground down (I guess you could say that about other VP too ;-)). IMHO, I think it's a decent choice for ABCing your free play or getting enough points on a free play day to qualify the free play (other decent ABC choices are 3 hand JOB, 3 hand Bonus Poker, etc. if they have "decent" pay tables).Quote:

Plenty of real life people you can compare it to like TJ Cloutier, Huck Seed, Stu Unger and many others.
I guess I need to clarify being 5 cycles behind on deuces.
Although, I have been behind like that before, this time it isn't exactly true.
I've ran into plenty of sets of deuces.
I just haven't made 4 deuces on that particular game in over 25,000 hands.
I've played many other games in-between.
I was on a deuce rush playing White Hot Aces 9 Line Spin Poker just the other night.
I was dealt 4 of them and made a god awful amount of them giving me 1,2,3 and 5 sets at a time.
I've also made back to back sets of deuces on BnsPkr Dlx and a few sets on Bonus Poker.
I guess it just depends on how you take account.
Personally, I keep different records per machine but one could just lump everything together giving a more true account.
True Story about that particular Spin Poker Game.
I've only lost one session and I was up 7k that night before I donked it back plus 8k more for a 15k swing.
It doesn't exactly make sense to be up over 70k on that particular game but flopping a Royal for 36k helps to tilt the variance.
Not to mention being dealt an abundance of quads along with dealt Aces and Fours.
I suppose a person could run hot, indefinitely, on a game that only returns 99.57% but I wouldn't bet on it.
I have read that you could be at 104% return to 96% return on a game like that, in the short term, so I guess the deviation isn't so far-fetched.
A few years ago, I destroyed a 99.29% 4700 Joker VP game as I posted a few of the jackpots online.
I literally made 4 Royals in 4 Short Sessions.
I also made 3 sets of 5 Balls in about 10 sessions total, playing that game/bank.
Meanwhile, ZenKing is somewhere plotting his master plan!
No idea why these messages were part of the Albertson's Monopoly 2020 Thread.
I moved them here, and closed that thread.
Whoops. I accidentally closed this thread instead of the Monopoly one.
Apologies. This is open again.
It would have been great to show the consternation of the cackling lady in more detail (the bespectacled wealthy lady in the earlier dice scene that was laughing at him going bankrupt as he kept betting the don't while she was making 7's and 11's as she bet the pass line line on the come out rolls in the earlier dice scene) in the final dice scene as he started kicking ass. I'm sure he put a nice dent in her fat pocket book (she probably couldn't have caviar for the rest of the week).Quote:

Anyway you nailed it Monet - the three of us liked a movie that completely flopped because what happened to Grady (before he got on his lucky $22,000 streak) was quite realistic and has been played out countless times all over the world - they really did a great job showing the mechanics of a down fall.
