Plaza Video Poker MRO

On today's YouTube show Anthony mentioned that The Plaza's  $500 slot bonus for Royal Flush coupon that used to be at the Sand Dollar is now at the Carousel bar and has moved to the MRO coupons. 

I might be overlooking it, or having some bug with my web browser but I'm not seeing that coupon. Has it been posted in the MRO section? 

Thank you 

I don't see it either....but it does show up on the coupon book list.  Probably just haven't fixed it on the site yet. 

That is probably the only bar downtown that we have not played at.. Have the paytables gotten any better ?

Good for LVA to keep that offer in the book.

It's bartop VP, so I'd guess "no." Or maybe "hell, no." VPFree2's listings are largely out of date these days, so the only way to know for sure is to go there.

The paytable(s) would have to be pretty good, as a $500 boost to the royal adds about 1.2% to the payback on a .25 denom game and 0.6% to the payback on a .50 denom game. I seem to remember that the only positive EV with the coupon game at the Sand Dollar was .50 denom Bonus Deluxe.

I don't see it on either list.

"VPFree2's listing are largely out of date these days, so the only way to know for sure is to go there." Apparently there are still plenty of players reporting to vpFREE2 since there are updates being made almost every day. https://www.vpfree2.com/video-poker/recent-updates

The number of times I've found VPFree2 to be inaccurate used to be quite small, but recently, that number has grown substantially. Are there daily updates? Yes. Are significant changes reported? Some are, and some aren't.

It's still a good resource, but I no longer trust it completely. I agree that if there's a recent update, that update, at least, is usually accurate.

I played the VP machines at the Carousel bar once when it first opened, they were from some weird company I'd never heard of before and I didn't like the glare from the lights or how the machine looked and played.  I'm sure it's also quite cold in the winter out there.  Hard pass.

Edit:  they are Aristocrat Video Poker.  Perhaps they are good paytables, but the cards, font and play was weird to me.

If everyone finding inaccuracies would report them, then there wouldn't be any inaccuracies. Lol! That's how vpFREE2 gets updated. (I'm sure you know this, but maybe others don't.) 

I've reported pretty much everything I've observed to VPFree2 over the last couple of decades. It usually gets added/revised within a few days. However, since I now consider only about three or four Vegas casinos worth visiting, I can't provide much useful info. And there's no point in reporting that the Silver Commode has downgraded its Bonus Poker from 6/5 to 3/2 and its players' club now returns 0.005%.

There's another factor I've observed, in that when something actually improves to the point where it's playable, local players are reluctant to report it, on VPFree2 or anywhere else. That's because two things often happen pretty much immediately: the play gets swarmed, and the casino kills it. 

One incident I remember vividly is when Harveys in Lake Tahoe (since eaten by CET) installed four $1 denom FPDW machines. They stayed there for weeks...until someone reported them to VPFree2 and they were duly listed. The very next morning, the machines were gone. Not their paytables changed--physically gone. I suspect that they were taken out back and beaten to death with sledgehammers. By "they," I mean both the machines and the people who programmed their paytables.
