What should you use freeplay on?

Plaza Carousel coupon is good too and I think they have .50 JOB at 9/6


Pretty crappy VP. Golden Gate: terrible; Circa: a few scattered 8/5 Bonus.

 

The Plaza coupon is good, but in order to take advantage of it, you have to play until you hit a royal. That takes seventy-three years at average playing speed.

 

The Plaza and 4Q are the last remaining places downtown with good VP.

There are still a few decent VP coin droppers in the "smoking cave" at El Cortez. Jokers Wild for quarters and dollars, Double Deuces for dollars, and Bonus Deuces for .25. Players club kinda sucks nowadays, though...

Pretty sure the Jokers game is 17/7, which is below 98%. Don't know about the other two games; fullpay would be around 99.6%.

 

I used to play a LOT at the El Corpse back in the day. (And eat.) It's no longer worth the walk to get there.

Jokers Wild is 18/7. All three games are over 99%

But the  players club does really suck these days...

 


 Downtown casinos have decimated the Video Poker scene with few games worthwhile to play left at a few casinos. The place has turned into, as I predicted would happen years ago, a version of the Strip. The bean counters have removed almost all reasons for frequenting Downtown with their gouging across the board. Toss in the obscene "street performers" with their foul language being spewed loudly and the sickening, lewd, barely dressed "performers" -  anything to attract the jaded and foolhardy who overpay for everything as they roam about Fremont Street. The decline continues....

Totally makes sense.  The guy is never happy.  Seems like he enjoys coming here to wallow in self-loathing and yell at liberal folks, or people that don't see things like he does.  Sad.

 Just telling it like it is - your brother Lewis is the biggest cry baby concerning Vegas - why don' you chastise him?  It must be tough not to realize just what a tool you are....

Not to quibble, but fullpay JW is 100.65%; if you lower 20/7 to 18/7, then since you get four of a kind once every 104 hands, getting paid 18 instead of 20 kicks you downward almost 2%. And if the straight pays 4 instead of 5, that's an additional loss of 1%.

Definitely not full pay like the one machine at the Plaza, but VPfree says it's still a 99.29% game. (18/7/5)

I like the $1 double deuces, but variance is hell. I've hit quad deuces a couple times,  W2-G for 2K sucks...
