Re: Bonus Payouts On Handpays

Post by splitting10z »

I called them, its too good to be true. They immediatly said anytime you get a handpay $1200 or more then you get $1500 if your Sizzlin or Blazin. I still dont believe it, it means four 5s on $5 ddbp pays $2750 or 550 credits. Every time and they do this all day Friday. Why dont they just hand everybody who walks in a $100 bill instead?
 
The "up to" refers to those who hold beginner slot cards get $500 in slot credit but those who hold the top tiers get the $1500.
 






Thanks everyone for all of the advice. I decided to email them to get the information in writing. I didn't come here to start an argument or to get people upset. I simply wanted to know what kind of return I was looking at if this promotion really holds up. I also didn't keep it private from anyone in case there were some of you who could take advantage of this offer. (Higher tier rewards club members of course )
 
I will let you guys know how I end up if I decide to go through with it.

I wasn't and didn't see anyone upset or argumentative.  Was just a smathering of ideas and various decipherings.I find it interesting what various casinos do for promotions and thanks for letting us know about it.

The promotion went well! There were a lot of people there playing, but most were playing slot machines.
 
I took a $5k bankroll and turned it into a profit of $5k. I ended up getting 4 quads in the few hours I was there. I decided not to chase the last quad for my last and final bonus payout.
 
4-10s for $1250+$1250 bonus payout

4-4s for $2000+$1500 bonus payout

4-2s for $2000+$1500 bonus payout

4-Ks for $1250+$1250 bonus payout
 
No kickers for my 4s and 2s but still a good profitable night. Here are a few pictures!

Congratulations, splits, and great catch on the promotion!  It looks like this play had an expected value well in excess of $300 per hour...and you did considerably better than that.Great posts of jackpots on positive plays (given the promotion).I'll bet you're glad you followed your instincts (especially if they included mathematical calculations) rather than some of the counsel you received.Terrific plan and even more impressive result!

You had a good night, congratulations! It looks like the only part that wasnt made clear to me on the phone was that a $1250 quad "only" came with a $1250 bonus, not the $1500. This was a "too good to be true" that was really true! If this went down in vegas I bet the place would be mobbed.

It's an IGT machine that has a lot of games on it. You can switch it between slot type games or video poker. Most of my play there consists of Game Kings but this machine was the only thing open that had $5 VP.
 
Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. It was a great promotion with a little luck on my side too. A lady I was sitting next to dropped a lot of money into her machine and wasn't having much luck.
