Haha. Well when I was playing at Binions there was a lot of loud drilling near the machine I was at, presumably doing some construction work on the upcoming projects. I only played there long enough to be able to use the double points coupon out of the ACG and left to play elsewhere soon after.
Also the mailer from the D mentioned there will be a 5x points day on July 4.
Has anyone else seen their bounceback go WAY down this month? My Stations offer is such an insult that I likely won't even be bothering with them for now. But it's not just them; a couple of others have fallen off significantly, and I haven't had a reduction in play that I'm aware of.
thanks for the great post dotsalot.
Well you may be describing the normal process of offers degrading as your ADT lowers.
But actually going back to 2018 there was a general decline in mail value for video poker at many locals places including both the major chains.
Monet,
Any changes to the mailers at Arizona Charlie's Decatur since they put in the high limit room and changed over the player's card?
It changed the way points are earned for VP.
The monthly mailer has been good for me since the new year and now since the change.
A little too early to tell though.
My mailers haven't dropped as bad or fast as I thought for being inactive and only showing up to collect food and cash at the cage.
Depending on care I put about 25k to 50k in coin in per month and that depends on what kind of loss I am showing.
If I get a card with a large loss but less coin in I will change and see what happens.
I tested my cards to see how fast the mail would fall off without playing.
It went 125s to 90s to 90s to 75s.
Food went 50 to 50 to 50 to 45 respecively.
Usually these are x4 a month but you can get 6x per month.
I know most of you think nobody gives out real information for free but this thread has good basic fundamentals to get anyone started.
I even seen BBB on WoV recently state that she never met an AP giving out free information which is completely wrong since I did and do just that.
It won't make you rich but it should allow you to make some cash and free food/rooms for your trip to Vegas.
It can also help supplement your income on a part time basis if you aren't trying to hustle for 40 to 60 hours a week.
Although some of this information is dated you still can grasp the basic concepts and apply them.
I have no intention of posting too much anymore or trying to help.
However, I made a Left to Right Sequential yesterday and that is kinda special.
I do not intend to post many jackpot pictures but figured I would share this one.
The information in this thread also will suggest that you do many immoral tactics to gain an edge.
It isn't for everyone and the player can pick and choose what they feel comfortable with.
Personally, I have no problem with stealing.
Nice hit Monet. Looking at the King of diamonds (just a straight) in the bottom play, I am wondering if anyone has gotten REAL lucky with a 5 play and hit 2 royals while holding 4 cards. While I haven't I am sure people hit 2 or 3 while playing a 50 or 100 play, but 2 with a 5 play would be quite the lucky score.
KewlJ,
I haven't hit anything like that, but I did have an exceptionally lucky multi-hand draw hit (and a witness) that I remember above others:
Basically, it was a ten-play UX game and I got dealt a pair of eights which connected three times for quads. Extremely unusual.
Here is a jackpot I hit playing some low limit poker.
I got a table share over 500 dollars.
Beat the game for about 200 so whatever.
Sometimes just fun to play this game for me.
The one guy got up on this hand and got no share.
Was begging the table for 20 dollars or more.
Nobody budged lol... mostly scoffed.
I think one guy threw him two red birds.
The dealer didn't get much in the way of tips lol.
I told the guy begging that I would give the dealer money but not him
By the way, the guy with the Straight Flush just smooth called the River LOL
Kill Pot!

"More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ
I don't mind sharing some information publicly.
I feel that I share honest, accurate and more current information than most have on forums.
Some of these things, I do, will not apply to the masses.
I am sure you understand that many times you have to be invited for certain plays.
However, I do not play well with others.
I got my own problems.
Advanced Players understand that things are constantly changing.
Some places may be mailing me 10 to 15 percent mailers for a few months.
Sometimes I am hammering for a car or a drawing or something like that.
Other times you find some sort of glitch or flaw in the system.
Anyways... whatever... thanks for the offer but no thanks.
Any friend of Mendlebread is no friend of mine!
Just Kidding!
When I play a 99.1% game with certain multipliers, like say... 7x or 10x, I do not need much bounce back to make it worth my time.
99.8% or better + 1% mailer is gonna be worth my time.
I have stated this many times over the last few years on forums though so I am sure you already know this.
Some think it is no big deal but even at a half of percent winner with large coin in it can be lucrative enough.
Something like that will be banking on the future when you get letters or messages from hosts offering you certain opportunities.
Many times I may only make a half of a percent on a play in cash.
Say 5k on a million coin in but the Food will be never ending.
Not to mention things like drawings, tournaments, rooms, offers and many times future mailers.
Future mailers are usually something like an invited play where if you put 250k coin in you will get 1 to 3 percent kickback.
This will get the ball rolling again if I have let the play fall off or it will keep it going if I have stayed current.
I know everyone understands this so I am sorry to type it all out once again and again and again.

There's a 1 in 231 chance of hitting two or more royals in 5-play holding 4, if I spreadsheeted it correctly.
I knew that their was a reason. Thanks.
Smurgerburger's question reminds me of the famous birthday question Sadistic's (statistics) teachers ask in class. The question in a class of 30 students is: what are the odds of no two people in class having the same birthday. The hard way to solve it is to add the sum of 2 people having the same birthday + the odds of 3 people having the same birthday + .... all the way to the odds of all 30 having the same birthday. The smart way to solve it is 1- the odds of no one having the same birthday. 1 - a single calculation instead of the sum of many calculations.
Reno Atlantis promotion - sign-up for their Easy Jackpots (once signed-up you don't have to wait for attendant to process a W2-G for one or more $1200 plus jackpots) and get $100 free play when you hit $1200 or above the 1st time after sign-up:
Thought I'd bring this thread back to life for post-corona promotions. Thanks to everyone who posted some of their mail numbers, but especially monet for providing so much great info. As an out-of-towner this stuff is invaluable. A couple current observations from home:
It appears Stations has dumped their continuous 3x points for 10x on Sun & Thur only
4Queens is offering $10FP for every 100pts through August. Anybody know what a point costs coin in at 4Q on 99%+VP? IIRC it's something like $10-20?
I had not noticed this thread before now.
So this running coin through machines seeking a fraction percent back is what Axel does (when he can, sounds like he hasn’t even been able to do much of that, lately)…no wonder then that Axel seethes with rage against anyone who’s actually living large, and pops a boner at the prospect of making a C-note off a garage sale broken laptop.
But still doing any of this requires getting out of bed…where does he find the time? You gotta push a lot of buttons under a lot of identities to make this sort of machine play worthwhile.
I tell you it’s wonderful to be here, man. I don’t give a damn who wins or loses. It’s just wonderful to be here with you people.
