Lose $100 at Terrible's

With the new promotion what is a good strategy for a quarter VP Player to get back the most from this offer.

I'd Like To Know Also Of Best Strategy For Using This Coupon

I would play the first $100 on a dollar machine, not quarters. Might as well take a shot at winning something big. If you lose the whole $100, then it's your choice how you play the $100 free play they will give you.

I'm not a big VP player, so if I'm just confused I hope you'll correct me.

But it seems to me that there something wrong with this logic of "Might as well take a shot at winning something big". If that's the strategy, then why not bet the entire $100 on one hand?

I guess I'm trying to understand why to play VP at all. When I played my $100, I think I played 8/6 JoB which is a 99.4% game. And that's only in "the long run"... assuming a royal every 40,000 hands and etc. And that you play correctly. In my VP play of maybe 20,000 hands total, I have yet to see a Royal or a Straight Flush. It took about 4 hours to lose my $100, playing dimes (50 cents a hand). I'd guess that I played around 600 hands per hour, and got 4 or 5 4-of-a-kind's. Just a slow steady losing.

It seems that the only hope you have of being a winner at VP (making any profit at all), is to play the lowest stakes possible and make sure you get your Royal Flush. But at 1:40,000 odds, it can be a long wait.

Are you saying to play dollars so that you'd play only a few hands and take your chances at a small profit, avoiding the long slow grinding loss like I experienced? Or am I just not seeing the point? Thanks.

I'm just saying that since you're going to get the chance to play that same $100 again (in the free play they give you if you lose), you have nothing to lose by playing bigger stakes than you normally play. It makes no difference what anyone plays -- slots, VP, whatever. Your choice.

You can never "make sure" you get your chance at the royal. Chances are it will not happen on that $100 you're playing, no matter what game you play.

I did well with my $100 coupon. turned into a $300 profit. I played the 2010 coupon in October. I'm going back to Vegas in January. Can I play it again in 2011? when I try to print it I get a message that I printed it in October. I know that. This is 2011 now and I'd like to print another.

Because we got it so close to the new year, we agreed there would be only one play per member. So if you played it in 2010, you can't replay now.

We explained the proper strategy in the October LVA.

When renewing membership it states once a year so you all may want to update that as it is a bit misleading...thnxs for the clarification.

Can you play a machine, and say, win $20 then go to another machine, and say, lose $100 (therefore being down $80 at that point) and then get the full $100 free play or do you have to be down $100 to get the full free play?

This is not in the spirit of the coupon, but couldn't you play a low stakes video slot machine like Goldfish 1 or 2, then just pull out your card anytime a bonus hits? Would the machine then not track your bonus win? This way, couldn't you trick the machine into thinking you lost $100 when you really didn't, then collect the $100 free slot play? If you were playing VP, you would just pull out your card if you were dealt a winner before you hit the deal button. Let the machines record the losing plays/pulls, and not record the winning ones.
