Just knowing how people in business generally operate, there'd be zero chance of 100% compliance from the get-go. This is why Barona and Peppermill Corp. have policies of never enabling the DU option in any machines again. And it's for sure there are others.

Back then it wasn't just walk in, sit down, and destroy. You had to sit at a mid-2002 or later machine, but by 2005 these were plentiful because they were anti-glare/flat screen/tito, and everybody wanted them. The older coin-droppers/curved tube screens were updated but did not have the software bug. Today it's slightly more challenging since newer machines without the bug have come out after mid-2009, but by and large a majority of those 2002-2009 machines remain on casino floors. If you steer clear of machines that do everything but give you a back rub you have a better chance of coming across one.

I've not seen the DU option advertised and always played to a winning hand to see if it was turned on. Most aren't, but back then there was little problem getting it enabled. I've found it a bit more difficult these days, although you can find it already activated here and there.

That's another thing--4 and 5 denomination machines these days are usually gonna have different pay tables on the lower denoms vs. the higher one or two. But if you find one of these it all comes down to how creative you are with your movements, because to make money you'll have to make this play an awful lot at that one machine. I was always concerned some yahoo nobody might accidentally see me making some odd moves, but it was all just in my head. This is what led me to my one-and-done approach at only higher limits, but it was probably not necessary. If I had lived in Nv. I would have surely changed my strategy.
You can add this post to the list of evidence that Rob actually did put this play down.

Definitely. But mickey, you left something out:

AND as evidence that he purposefully misled hundreds if not thousands of Gaming Today readers, manipulated Alan Mendelson into publicizing the lies that were a cover story, and basically "trained" people to do what? Play the denomination-switching or the double down?

It's the equivalent of my discovering a sportsbook whose parlay payoffs were glitched, so I wrote articles explaining that people should play parlays, and posted thousands of times recommending parlays, but never mentioned the site with the glitch.
Rob has been called a fraud a thousand times about his video poker system. Is he? After years of arguing with Rob about it and reading what others argue about it I've just simply come to the conclusion that Rob believes in his system. Do I believe it? Well, no, not really. But I've never tried it either. One of the repeated allegations is Rob somehow made money off those he taught the system to. But it's been many years and no one has come forward saying he charged them or made them use his card or anything like that. As far as his books go, everyone from Dancer on down say there is no money in books.

I think Rob believes in his system and thats why he has stuck to his guns all these years. Can I tell you that it works. Sure can't.
