I would have at least broken even. JOB is all about breaking even and awaiting the RF. My VOD play was brutal. A disaster when none of the five quads hit during a max bet interval. My philosophy happens to be max bet maximizes losses. And at 98.5% - 99.5%, losses are the likeliest outcome. I hate slots, and Borgata requires slot redemption on Mystery Dollars. Not much of a promotion for me.

I do my slot dollars, Mystery Bonus Slot Dollars, on video poker machine. It does download on the newer VP machines not the older machines.

What?! Thanks for letting me know. I’m just in the bar, so those I am guessing are antiques. I was really ticked off yesterday after going there really just for the promotion. Before going in the rabbit hole for hours.

Max bet also maximizes wins.

Always. The ultimate double edged sword. That’s why they call it gambling. My risk appetite variance is likely the highest on the forum and often swings every hand.

I don't know about B-bar . But the machines at MGM Sports bar/ Moneyline sports bar should work. I do my slot redemption or Mystery Dollars at the poker machine near the Music Box & Buffet.
I played yesterday at sports bar yesterday for the 10x slot dollars . I played for 5 hours from 1pm until 6pm and only lost 2 hundred $$. $100 hundred dollars of the $200 was lost in the last half hour of play when my machine went cold. So at that time ( 6pm ) it was time to go to the Amphora lounge for dinner.

Okay, that’s good enough. I’ll drop in at the sports bar for FP purposes, then decamp for B Bar. Well, we both lost at the same rate of $40-$50 per hour. That seems to be like death and taxes. I also had a bad last hour. But it all counts as losses.

ImageAnother successful trip to Borgata, on my way to my room decided to use free play on Cars 9/6 multi strike, will be a new game in the rotation.

Congratulations. Question about the Coins To Go countdown strip. Can you help me understand what I get at the end of the countdown? Nobody tells you what this is supposed to indicate.
