Can you come close to even with VP in Vegas area

I have read a lot of posts about the games going south in Vegas, here in Tunica they have been south for quite a while. My wife and I are planing on moving to the Vegas area (probally Henderson or Bolder City). We dont need to make any money on playing just want to get to play and stay close to even. We have been doing this for a long time, and it seems that the games are getting unbeatable here (and yes we have all the trainig software ect doesnt help if the machine isnt playing its not playing) We are not in it for the long haul just today and we have hit a lot of royals I have had 5 deal to me and my wife once hit a sequal for $16,000 and some change. on quarters long time ago so you know we play a lot. We had very few wins in 2009 and 2010. I am retired and play a lot, dont mine losing just want a fair shot/or feel I at least got to play and I dont feel that Tunica is the place. I even believe that their is a law in Ms that none of the games can be over 100% I know that with cash back and comps it comes out that their is some but who care about that, If I am winning I can buy a hamburger at McDonalds or Sonic I want to see the money. Here lately all I have won on has been keno. All we do is gamble for rec. I have hunted, fished, ect all my life and dont have any desire to do it anymore. I read the post about the royals and how many the people had gotten and espically I liked the post from Rizzo I believe I play a lot like him, I dont take much money and probally If l lost 3000 in one sitting I would look for a bridge to jump off. If I win a hundred or more one foot is on the floor ready to leave. I once had a royal deal to me at Gold Strike,(MGM has killed this place) on nickels progressive 3 line 10 nickels each line for $7,600 their is about 9 of these machines each one its own progressive (Dancer would not play these awful paytable) and the woman paying me ask me what was I going to do now, I told here as soon as she paid me I was running out of their. We plan to play were the locals play because the suites and steak houses mean very little to us, in fact I wish their was a casino the just had salads and hamburgers/hot dogs and let the machines play instead for giving all the money to just the chosen few. Thats the way it has gotten here, any information would be greatly appreciated and if you need any information about this area I will be happy to help. thanks

My only suggestion is that you quickly make friends with Arcimedes who claims to know where the full pay, advantage machines are with the "secret pay tables" that make him a consistent winner.

I do know that at State Line Primm there are "full pay" machines on double double bonus.

The new Aria has 9/6 double double bonus with progressives. Since that is my game of choice that's what I was looking for when I strolled through there.

Others can tell you about the locals casinos. Over the weekend I actually had dinner with a top executive at a major casino to discuss business and during the conversation I looked him in the eye and said -- "ya know, your VP sucks." Because it was a business meeting on another matter I cant reveal which casino it was. But he looked at me and said "really?" He thought this major casino had a good mix of the best paytables. "Nope," I said. Then back to business. I only wish I had a video of the exchange.

Are you familiar with this website? vpFree2

If not, it will tell you payout percentages on vp machines and where they are located in the casinos.

I agree, definately check out VPFree2. I personally prefer the Palms for my play. They have a good mix of full pay machines and they have some pretty good promotions going whenever I am there. On weekends it tends to be more of a 20 something California crowd but during the week it is mostly locals.

Good luck.

Also the video poker at the airport, especially the United terminal. Their paytables are scary good.

PS that long wide key on the right side of your keyboard is the 'Enter' key, please become friends with it.

Most people "come out about even."
Just ask them.

You'd probably like Skyline.

I like the quarter FPDW with royal progressive at the Palms. And they effectively have .25% cashback, as their merchandise comp can now be converted into free play.

Sam's Town had a bank of back to back machines in their "new" area near ST Live that has 100% payouts on Deuces Wild, DB, and DDB. They also give you cash back as well as points for comps. 1000 points for every dollar, and 600 points for every dollar on comps. Nice hotel with good restaurants. I can set you up with a host if you'd like. Once established, you get free rooms and invites to slot and VP tournaments. Nice place to play and friendly personnel. All bars have progressive Royals. They also have Either Way Royals, but I think they pay more than 16,000 for one in quarters.

Four Queens is another good option. I like their quarter 10/7 DB with royal progressive. And their cashback is among the best in Las Vegas...still over .3% the last time I was there.
