Hi Jean,
I remember meeting you at the WBT tournaments filmed on the lake outside of LV. I buy you stuff on LVA. You and Bob Dancer have really helped me survive the war against the casino.
I hadn’t played a the Horseshoe since the name change. I believe the name change was due to the proximity to Louisville. I did remember playing some full pay $1 JOB and BP. I loved playing Pick’Em there but the paytables were not good. Let us know how you did at Horseshoe.

George, dont forget even the best paytables and the most skilled VP player is subject to the variance that is a normal part of the game. Unless you put enough coin thru in one sitting to hit that 40,000+ hand which will be the royal. That is where dumb luck and being at the right machine at the right time payoff. I try to favor the VP machines which I feel have the heaviest play and best paytables. Most of my Royals at HSI have been within the first 5 minutes of sitting down and playing a short number of hands.

Have Fun with family and friends. But don’t expect the VIP Lounge at Horseshoe Southern to come even remotely close to the Rolls Royce of Lounges you experienced at Horseshoe Hammond.

I am glad for all the kind words, from purely recreational players as well as from those who make a study of gambling. And fortunately there is vpFREE2, which I consulted. I have printed out a list of the best games from that database, practiced on a software program to learn the strategy of a game we have never played before, so we are prepared for “battle.”

Carol, most of the gambling boats used to have to go out on “cruises” – the thought was – funny – that gambling is less “sinful” if it’s done on the water! 🙂 However, most, if not all, gambling “boats” in many states never leave the shore anymore. Depending on the state, however, the “boat” or “barge” that contains the casino usually has to still be “on water.” (Old rules and laws are hard to get rid of!) So they build nice pavilions on the shore that house restaurants, hotels, etc. with a “bridge” to the casino on the water. In some of them you don’t even realize you are in a “boat” or “on the water.”

Is this where these casinos are supposed to be on an island?

All you people talking about good luck vs. bad luck don’t seem to understand that luck only works short term. Long term, the only way to loose less and /or win more is to play the best games in any casino ( I learned that from Jean’s books). Above comments would be a lot more helpful to all of us if they listed the type VP games that are available and the cash back and mailers provided by the casino.

Might be driving up there this weekend – first floor non-smoking section is great. They also added a spa and a decent Chinese restaurant since your last visit. Win big!

I wish it had been last weekend. I was there playing last Friday and Saturday. I truly hope you have some better luck than I had. I could not get 4 of a kind the whole time I played. Thankful for the few full houses that kept me in play for the day.

Have a great time with the family!
