Blonde is bond! High roller on $50 hands hits quad deuces, four kicker for $8,000 in Caesars HL room. Getting high on some quality libations this evening.

Webcam snapshot of me viewing an FAA post:

I saw the cigarette at the usual eye level and was immediately turned off. Moved on to another post. UGH!

She was the lone player in a row of twenty. Smoking wasn’t the primary deterrent. High limits, bad tables. I don’t follow EVs. If anyone knows, weigh in. 80/50/9/6.

It looks like 98.98% "full pay" DDB. Machine on the left is 9/6 TDB, 98.15%.

Sharp eye! Surprisingly generous of Caesars. So that actually was worth playing given bankroll to burn.

Point earn rate is important. Standard vp accrual is $10 coin-in per point, but some machines require $20 or higher -- cutting the slot club benefits in half or worse.

I get only tier points at Mohegan on 98-99 games, but in general the clientele is pretty good most of the time Unless you were playing PrimeTime during wacko Friday and Saturday evenings. In general the place is immaculate and the employees are always friendly and courteous. I couldn’t ask for a better place to play in other than not winning as much as I would like to. Just one cigarette even at a distance will give me an instant migraine. Just one other side note. If you were playing a 97% video poker machine at Mohegan, do you have to run about $500 through the machine to get one spendable point worth one dollar. Needless to say, it’s not worth it to play those lower machines. On the other hand, on the triple status point days which are the same as tier points if I run about $10,000 through a machine in a session, I get $100 in free play. It is marginally worth it to do that because it adds one percent to a long-term total return which means on a 99% game I can play them even up

Caesars AC has gone the $20 route. That quarter progressive is on the $50 system. So you're just basically playing for the RF there.

That's something I would try to monitor if I played there. It's a vast casino. I would be on the lookout for either unstickered good games or stickered games where the sticker is wrong. Also maybe some machines require less than $500.
