The vpfree2 site is only as good as the people who monitor the casinos. It's pretty good in Vegas but very spotty elsewhere. The casino I play at isn't even listed.

vpFREE2.com depends on users to report updates that need to be done. If users don't bother to make reports, then updates don't get done. Pretty simple. If there's a casino that you would like added, click on "Contact Us" and let them know. If you see something that should be changed for a casino already listed, click on "Send Update" on any of that casino's pages and tell them what should be changed. 

The Palace had 2 $1 9/6 machines just outside the high limit area when we were there in early May.   There was a 10/6 nickel machine along the back wall (I've never seen that before) right next to an 8/5 machine.  I've never found anything better than 8/5 at the Beau Rivage. Good luck next trip!!
I happened to meet the casino manager @ The Palace recently. I asked him why I didn't see more multi-line VP. He told me that, when they re-opened after the renovations, they had installed a lot of VP with good pay tables, including many multi-line, multi-denom machines, to help attract some new play. According to him, they got killed. As a result, they are scaling back their VP pay tables, and also the number of multi-line machines.  It is kind of a shame, since it is a non-smoking casino (a plus for me), and it is really beautiful inside.

Ahh, so THAT'S why you do well at VP, Shadow - you play at a 'secret' casino.

So, here is the 'rub' with that. If you are an 'Advantage Player' (not me, of course), and happen to find a casino with machines that have great pay-tables, why would you advertise that by updating vpFREE2.com, and risk the casino pulling the machine or reducing the pay-table  due to excessive losses when we all show up to play?

 Yea I spot checked a few casinos on their that I know pretty well and the site isn't even close to being accurate.  One casino listed isn't even open any more (hope nobody traveling looks on that site and goes out of their way to visit it).  The others had banks that had not been active for years.  Or games that have been removed years ago.  I agree its probally good for those with lots of traffic but most casinos I wouldn't depend on it to plan a visit.

Not too secret. The casino has thousands of slot machines and is packed every weekend. I guess no one has volunteered to be a monitor. Personally, I'm perfectly happy the good machines are not 'advertised".

 spxChrome, how about letting vpFREE2 know about everything you saw that  needs to be updated. That would help us all.   I'd send you a private message but I'm not Gold.

 Good point, billyjoe. Most people don't report games that are too good to be true or possibly a casino mistake.

Anyone in the universe can send an update or request that they add a casino. If there isn't a monitor, the site owner will make the updates.
