VP ~ rolling in the deep ~ and ACE$ ??

VP Queries:

Thinking about full pay JOB at HET properties. I see they only offer desirable pay tables in their high limit rooms. If one wants to give them some play would it be to his benefit if he played their high denom full pay VP machines? Or does the money just go too quickly to justify the risk?

Seems to me if you can front a high bankroll, in the long run, your comps are better and with perfect strategy you could come out with better comps and lower than expected losses than losing is slowly on short pay, lower denom machines?

Also, I'm booked at The Orleans this summer, and they do not have JOB; but something called ACE$, should one follow bonus poker strategy for that game?

What do Jean Scott, Bob Dancer play? Do they seek out/play the high denom machines because they can, or stick to .25 full pay like the common folk?

My personal sense is that playing for a longer time (hours) on one machine is the very best strategy for comps, whatever the denomination. So, if you get lucky immediately on a high denom machine and can stay with it for a couple of hours, the world will be yours...for a while.

Another "personal sense" is that one's initial play at any casino, even low denom, will garner some very attractive comp offers. Those offers will decline over time despite "the same level of play."

But who can actually get into the minds of these places?

I believe Jean plays very high denomination machines, as does Bob Dancer. No quarter machines for those guys.

Yes, they have worked their way up to that denomination level which has gotten them better comps as well.

I only encourage people to play high limit stuff if they have worked their way up to it and know the playing strategy well and/or have a good playing strategy chart to consult with.

These are a few generalities. There are always exceptions but for the average gambler these might serve you well.

1. For the average gambler never play for comps. Those who do many times play far more or higher denominations then their bankroll really can stand. Be aware of the comps your play entitles you to but dont play for comps.
2. I get a chuckle over those who say longer play garners more comps then higher denoms. Lets say you play 9/6 JOB at around 400 hands an hour. As a quarter player you play 6 hours. You put through $3k in that time. Now lets say you are a $5 player and only play one hour. In that time you put through $10k. Who do you think will interest the casino more?
3. And as far a bankroll, for the lower volitile games like 9/6, the usual rule of thumb is a bankroll of 2 to 3 times the value of a royal. For quarters that means 2-3K, for dollar 8-12k and for 5 dollar you are talking 40-60k.

And lastly, if you have a small bankroll and play for fun and recreation, like many of us, playing $5 but blowing through your whole bankroll in 30 minutes doesnt impress anyone, stick to quarter or less and enjoy!

Hard enough to get just 4-Aces, but the odds to get them in ACES order has got to be up there.
