I seemed to get a 4-of-a-kind about once an hour. I played my bonus play through once, again at 50 cents a hand, and cashed out $95. Does this result sound "typical"? I was using the strategy chart for 8/5 JoB from the ACG book. And - I am not a slot club junkie. I don't get involved with the details of the various point systems. Weds. was a day where 1000 base points of play earned a $5 gas card reward. And they have a promo where 100 base points of play on any given day, earns a $8 buffet comp, limit 2/day (they advertise it as a free breakfast or lunch, but it might also qualify as a $8 discount on the dinner buffet). All well and good. But I was shocked to find, when I went back the next day to play BJ, that Thursdays are 5X POINTS. I'm really disappointed that LVA or the Terrible's club desk didn't at least mention that to me. I could have earned 6000 points instead of just 1200. I know that no one is obligated to explain anything to me, but LVA did go out of their way to explain how the loss rebate offer worked... adding a "BTW, consider playing this offer on a Bonus Point Day if you can" to the explanation would have helped me out.
There should be a "Slot Club Bonus Points" link on this website (in the Gambling section) which should mention the 5X points on Thursdays and 10X points for Slot Machines only on Sundays.
As for getting a Four-Of-A-Kind about once an hour, that should be about right since they tend to happen (at least in Jacks Or Better games) about once in 425 hands.
