Happy ChanuKwanSolstMas. There. I think I got everybody covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now onto my other religion, advantage video poker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m coming in for the Plaza Bingo NYE Bash. Due to my medical misadventures, I haven\u2019t been back since (OMG) August and I notice some of my unused MRBs expire BEFORE 12\/31. Like the 27th and I arrive the 29th. Wannnh !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you used all your MRB coupons? Check the dates. It\u2019s really tough seeing a valuable unused coupon expire. I mean it hurts! I might have to talk with my therapist about it. I\u2019m kidding. Kind of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also want to alert you to specials at Four Queens and Rainbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 4Q December offer of an extra $40 in free-play and $20 in comps for 600 points got me thinking.
4Q offers both cash and comps. Very nice. So (VP math nerd alert!), I found the following information on VPFree2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 9\/6 JOB (99.54%) points adder for cash and comps is .9375% combined or $7.50 per $1,000 coin in. Total EV 100.48%. Niiiice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 10\/7 DB (100.17%) adder is .4683% combined or $5.71 per $1,000 coin in for a total EV of 100.68% (.2% better than 9\/6 JOB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s the trick question. Which game would you play?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d play 9\/6 JOB and here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I\u2019m strictly playing long term for a total cash return, then 10\/7 DB with a higher EV and a .2% higher total EV makes sense. But I don\u2019t play that long. And I like the extra comps, $7.50 over $5.71 per $1,000 in. I\u2019ll use them in combination with 2-for-1 Magnolia coupon, doubling their value to $15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also like the steady play of lower volatility: two coins for two pair at Jacks or Better over one at Double Bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again, this is a STYLE of playing choice. I\u2019m just not a high-volatility guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And why am I playing? I\u2019m coming to the realization that I win a lot in the short term and often don\u2019t have the fortitude to play through the peaks and valleys of higher volatility to reach royal flush heaven. And I\u2019m the king of 4-of-a-kinds, so there ya go. Your choice, just saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now at Rainbow, they\u2019ve announced their January 28 and 29 barrel drawing. Start earning tickets now. It\u2019s for a Rolex ($6,500) Diamond Date Just watch, one each over four Drawings. Five second prizes at each drawing for steak knives. Just kidding. They\u2019re actually for $100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add their amazing point multipliers and play between 4 and 6 p.m. EVERY DAY one hour each at Rainbow, then Emerald Island, to earn 75x points for extra comps, gifts, and cash. That\u2019s adding an amazing 5% on your return making ANY VP over 100%<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The drawing trick is you earn only one ticket PER DAY PER location. But it\u2019s just $200 coin-in to earn a ticket. Obviously, they want you to come in every day. Go for it. And dine at Triple B on your comps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
