It's a big misconception that people need to play a hundred percent accurate. I think the 0.5 estimate was spot-on that's what I always assume just to be safe. One of those guys can play like3,000 hands perfectly we witnessed him doing it and there's a video showing it. When I talked to him he was fairly confident keep up that pace for many many hours and does. I have no reason to believe he can't and even if he made a few mistakes here in there it's not going to be anywhere near enough to kill his advantage. Rob I'm sure you can do the math and figure out exactly what that guy would be making per hour on a $2 machine. Everyone I seen in there playing are competent good players who are well banked. Off the top of my head I'm going to estimate they are taking $20,000 a day from the casino.
I just wish we could get an actual summary of overall casino results from this once it's over. My deal with Wynn was just that, along with the approval to publish the results in my GT article which I did.

If they eliminated slot club benefits from FPDW they didn't slow machines down? 3000 hph is just about a hand per second. Impossible. That has to be some kind of error. As far as accuracy after the first hour for most humans, it does go down as time exponentially increases. I've been involved in several human factors studies, not on gambling but in similarly simple and also more complex tasks.

It all comes down to the ratio of legit pros vs. the rest. Plus some bring friends, spouses or others who sit at tables or play other slots? A smaller casino can keep meaningful track of such stuff whereas a place like Wynn cannot.

I just received an email from a friend who's playing a $2 FPDW machine right now. He's someone who thinks of himself as a pro but really isn't. And I never heard him say he knew anything about DW before this. Maybe they took some out, but not all.
