		<description><![CDATA[There is a side effect of the drastic reduction in good plays which has just about killed VP for me--namely, the dearth of such machines means that the remaining decent ones are almost always jammed. This in itself wouldn&#039;t be too bad, as you can still generally find an open machine, but it does mean that you&#039;ll be surrounded by one or more of the following types of players:

1. Pigaratte smokers. &#039;Nuff said.
2. Cigar smokers. Sweet Jesus.
3. Chimpanzees--those who hit the Deal button five times or more on every hand, the way chimps bang on the bars of their cages
4. Those who shower once a year whether they need it or not
5. Players who love to conversate on their dumbphones about their recent colonoscopies
6. Grim reapers--locals who play rapidly, expertly, with a sullen expression, and not a flicker of reaction when they hit four aces
7. Spreaders--they put up both feet and generally take up every available inch of room
8. Angry bangers--are getting killed at the game and believe that the machine will give them a royal if they threaten it and/or beat on it
9. Screen petters--stroke the glass gently when drawing to 222, as if to stimulate it into giving a big win
10. Drunks

There are a LOT of Vegas degenerates who moved there ten years ago thinking they could just play VP instead of getting a real job and now are circling the drain, showing up for $10 freeplay drawings and fishing matchplays out of garbage cans. They&#039;re trapped, going slowly broke, and hating every minute of it. They&#039;re at your local(s&#039;) casino right this very minute!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Anything with an edge less than ½% is VERY risky and requires a humongous bankroll – and nerves of steel!&quot;
Yeah. Trusty 9/6 JOB major stress! No advantage, but JOB doesn&#039;t go any higher and I do love the game.]]></description>
