Thank you Alan, I appreciate all of the California info on the forum and will try to help out where I can. I just recently started making trips to Southern California from Las Vegas again. I like some of the high limit choices in Palm Springs and San Diego.
You have me curious? Are you part of a team going for the progressives here? There used to be two teams who would play the video poker progressives at Rincon -- one from Reno and one from Vegas. I know that the Vegas team (two couples) got hit hard a couple of times and stopped coming.
I just work by myself but I have battled those teams a few years back when that $5 progressive was a better game. I have to imagine it rarely gets playable now. Mostly I will just come down when promotions are good or I get good mailers.
Dan did you ever look for Aces and Faces at the $1 and $2 levels in the "video poker room"? My host just called me on a different matter and had no info about those games being removed.
Never looked in the video poker room, but I did find a $1/$2/$5 machine in the high limit room, labeled Game King. Has both Ace$ and Aces and Faces. But there's only one of them.

Alan,
Here is my list. I try to make a list as I have noticed things forgotten after my trips.
Free Play = $120.00
Fiore = $150.00
Visa Card = I don’t know my guaranteed amount.
Dining Credit = $60.00
Take it or leave it = $90.00 (the last 2 times I choose leave it and received only $35.00)
Great Gift Wrap Up = a little over 30,000 each day (with 750 points)
I also have a “lucky” slot machine that I have won on almost every trip. (4 W2’s from the same machine)
This is the $2 VP I was playing. Is the pay table the same as you usually play?
Thanks for the photo Aaron. That's a photo of the new IGT machines that have been installed with the LOUSY pay table. They increase the payoffs on the full house and flush but two pair is only even money.
I play the traditional pay table of 8 full house, 5 flush with two coins on two pair, which pays 99.2% approximately. Your pay table is much less. But when you hit quads the lower pay table doesnt matter.
I am curious if the 8/5 paytable with two pair getting two-for-one is still available for bonus and Aces and Faces???
I wonder what the payback is on that machine above. The 10-8-6 is pretty solid but getting 1 on a 2 pair usually knocks the % down a couple. A similar 10-8-5 machine was listed as 94.16%.
Edit: Whoops looks like Alan asked the same question.
Yeah, that's a terrible pay table.
Also, Aaron, are you aware of the strategy differences between two pair paying 2x and 1x? If you play standard Jacks or Better strategy, you will be losing even more money. Fortunate for you that you've been lucky so far.
However, if you are playing $2 Aces and Faces, may I suggest that you go to the High Limit room, find the machine labeled "Game King", and you can play the same game with 2x for two pair. You will only get 5 for the flush instead of 6, but the tradeoff is worth it BIG TIME.
