The What If I'd Played Progressives Game

So the humor is fun and everything, but was anyone going to chime in and share how getting 3x or 4x on all their previous jackpot would have effected their life time results, and if it would have made the difference between being ahead or behind???

That question seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle.

In my very short VP "career", (I learned to play for my Vegas 2009 trips, practiced on my computer at home, had strategy cards, and only played good paytables, w/ strategy printouts for every game in "hand), I would state that the 3x or 4x would greatly enhance my results making them even more positive.

Here in S. Florida, there are no +EV games, and not many 99+% games. The only time I play VP now is when I have FSP or redeem points for play, and than only to wash the fsp into cash. I am not ahead "lifetime" on the "fsp convert to cash" plays. I usually use it on the highest denomination available where I can play for full credits, so I'm there for the short term. (4 spins at $1.00 for my $20.00 fsp, cash out and out the door.) In fact, the games at that level ($0.25-$1.00) are probably 97% or less. I don't even care, because at the most, it will be 4 plays.

I think my favorite progressive type of all time was up at the lake. They had quarter JoB progressives where the RF, SF, & 4k progressed. The 4K got 2% of the 4.5% MR. The 4k started out at $31.25 just like normal JoB. I usually played when the 4K was over $70. I also played them when the SF got over $750 (and yes it reset to $62.5). Only once in a year did I play when the RF got over $4,500. Oh and btw the RF only got 1% MR.

If you wanted to play the what if game with those, you'd need to double all the Four of a Kinds you've ever hit.

Too bad they're all gone.
