    Who is upgrading their VP payback in 2019?

    Well, Grand did.
    The others will be few and far between, and expect more lowering of paytables than casinos rising as we move forward into 2020

    Won't last long. All it will get is pro action and when they pull it the place will look like a ghost town.

    Already read above. I've seen the movie before more than once. Always starts out and ends the same way.

    I remember one time back in the mid 2000's (maybe around 2007) where Circus Circus (Reno) had a 5-bank of slant-tops with $5 denom FPDW (single-line). A pro-team had them locked up (a styrofoam cup of coffee on each of the five games) so that no one else could get in. I don't know when they opened those up, I only know that after I initially saw them they were blown out the next day (so maybe 15 hours or so).

    They have tons of $2 FPDW. They have two $1 five play but you won't get a seat. Well most people won't anyways.

    I was validating my parking at the club booth the other night after playing. As I was validating and about to leave I Overheard and observed management. booth guy, "They must be a group, here's the list" Manager, "Okay, Ill check it out and talk with security"

    I wen back to warn some people I like, I think they were confused about what I was saying since I didnt go into detail, but I didn't stay around to see what was going happen. As I was headed out I seen the manager guy at the security podium handing him the same print out he was handed.

    it seems as if they cut cut off any point earnings. I heard there was some hear but nothing too bad.

    I don't get there for 10 days. Just in case they last that long, here's a question: I've been purposefully delaying signing up for the Grand slot club. If I were to sign up for the club and start playing them, does that make me look more or less like an AP villain? Not that I care -- I'm not concerned about any definition of me anywhere, but I thought it was an interesting question. I'm probably heading for a second excursion Aug 10-16 or thereabouts because I botched my initial trip by not giving myself enough time to get everything done. So I should have some not running around like chicken with head cut off time on the first trip to play a little video poker here and there.

    It's really tough with me taking the Greyhound cross-country and all, as my schedule gets constricted. Plus they keep losing my luggage in Denver. And sometimes the buses don't show.

    I'm surprised you didn't run into Monet there (or did you ?) ;-)

    In 2002 the El Dorado put in a 5-machine bank of 20 coin $1 FPDW. Tuna and his team destroyed it in a couple of days.

    Also in 2002, Peppermill put in an 8-machine bank of 5 coin $1 FPDW. After my first day of play I went to the booth to get a meal comp. The boothling said "you've been assigned a host." She told me where the host's office was and that I should go visit. I didn't go. After my 2nd day of play I did the same, went to the booth to get a meal comp. The boothling said I hadn't met my host yet and set up an appointment. I blew the appointment off.

    On the 3rd morning I was playing when a host walked up to a friend of mine who was also on the play and said "Al, I'm disqualifying you from all drawings and special events." If you knew anything about the Peppermill the drawings were a big part of any play you found there.

    "What? Why am I disqualified?"
    "C'mon, Al. You know you're a pro. I'll leave your comp alone for now. Now I have to tell this Crimm guy the same thing."
    "I know him. I'll tell him for you." said Al.

    Little did the host know I was right there listening to him. "Screw this play" I told Al, cashed out and left. I've been disqualified from drawings and special events ever since.

    Great story. I should mention that the Circus Circus play was 5-coin, if my vision and memory serve me (I never played those machines, just observed briefly as the team was playing). If 5-hand $1 FPDW (I assume 5-coin) is showing up in 2019, I think it is likely an act of desperation, perhaps industry-wide but certainly for the Grand. The appearance of FPDW is one of the odder bellwethers of the economy I suspect.

    What is the purpose of this thread and others like the skyline thread where PIGGY BANK is listing the +EV plays right down to what they are worth? (shades of Monet). While this forum has limited traffic, I suspect there are much more who lurk (many forums), looking for just this kind of tidbit. Won't the result be that these plays get shut down very quickly because of open discussion like this? Is that the goal?

    I don't care because I have all but ceased any and all machine play and gone back to my blackjack roots. I play just enough machine play (very small amount) to cover my food needs and keep food offers rolling in (usually with meniscal amounts of free play as well). It just seems to me that posting this in such detail has no benefit only negative consequences.

    While I share some info (probably far too much) about how I play, I never mention specific favorable casinos and conditions. I have a casino currently in my Las Vegas rotation that is dealing 6 deck to better than 5.5 decks, with late surrender. I would never post the name of that casino, and the few times I have seen other members do that, conditions worsen very quickly, one time, the very next day. I just don't get the purpose of what PIGGY BANK is doing, unless the purpose is sabotage.
