My two cents. I have been playing VP in AC since 1993. I restrict my play to Borgata today as they generally have the best games and certainly the best atmosphere today. I have total faith in the older VP machines there as my results since the casino opened have been normal. The new server based Game Kings have one of my favorite games-9/5 Super Double Bonus which has a 99.69 % payback if played properly. However I have run very cold on these games at times, much more so than the older VP games. Not saying they are rigged, just my experience.

Good post... I agree borgota has it's positive points, I just don't like being in the Marina area as my primary base, I prefer the boardwalk so I can move and get around easily, especially for getting out of AC via NJ Transit!

Your experience vis-a-vis old machines versus servers echoes my own... no proof either way whether or not there really is a discernible difference, I've just seen too much downside at the CET casino properties to dismiss it all as mere variance. Are you certain though that only part of borgota is on the server?? I haven't been there in many months

Congratulations. I will convert to the Randomness Church as soon as that RF comes in. In the meantime, I may want to return to Borgata for a trip. I've had bad times there, but it stemmed from being too stubborn to switch machines.

Well, that was high satire. Olds has had three 600,000 RF free cycles, so that proves your point right there. Cannot even imagine that nightmare. I do think B will be at least a bit more random. I'm tired of playing so little and going home so bitter. Low variation quarter games will be my road map.

Mathematically it's due about every 45k hands or so... doesn't always show up though... it's like the friend you can never depend on for anything, yet for some reason you still regard him as a friend and keep inviting him everywhere for everything.

thats right be king of the quarters! lol if i saw someone lose 4,000 credits played exactly how i would play (little to no mistakes) id feel a bit more confident siting down seeing how i either exntended my bankroll or my standing time in casino i could be wrong but thats how i do iti dont know how to explain it feels like i avoided a pit trap in the realm of gambling if i saw someone dump a ton of coins in one machine and got nada back
