VP report
Posted: Tue Apr 24, 2007 9:41 am
First of all, stipulated is the fact that I've played only Full Pay games.
Started out with some 9/6 JOB at 4-Queens. Nothing significant other than I was able to play for what seemed forever on 100 credits.
Main Street Station 10/6 Double Dbl Bonus. I got on one heck of a run Monday morning at MSS. I think I was there for around 3 hour. During that time I hit 9 quads (two for 800 credits and one for 400) plus one straight flush. When you hit quads or better at MSS, the Slot Attendant will give you a scratch card....all 10 of mine were for the minimum $1. I do not know what the max is. I bought in with 400 credits and cashed out with 1700.
We then went to a locals casino close to Sam's Town called "The Longhorn". We had heard some good things about it and thought we'd try it. I had a $5 match play and a "free ace" that I could play as my first card on any single hand. I won on both coupons witha BJ on the "free ace". The table limits there are $2 to $100. Six Deck game, H17, DOA, split and resplit up to 4 hands with Double after split. Penetration was acceptable at around 75% (1.5 decks cut off). We stayed at LH only about 20 minutes though. ALL of the slot machines are hand pay! Not even coin droppers! The place smelled like 1 gallon pickle jar half full of cigarette butts soaked in water! Really foul and I'm a smoker! I never got a chance to play any VP there.
I played a little quarter 9/6 JOB at Sams Town but quit after hitting one set of quad Kings. I was anxious to give their $5 DD Blackjack a shot. I had one $5 match play there and lost it...as well as losing $50 in short order. Just couldn't get anything going. I'm not a huge fan of Sam's Town myself. Their BJ isn't all that great though the dealers are friendly and you usually get a "fun" table there.
Next stop was Silverton. The last time I was down there (back in January), I had a pretty good run on the "Bob Dancer Approved" machines back by the acquarium. Every game in every denomination on the machines are Full Pay. That didn't do me a damn bit of good though. I went through 1200 credits and hit only one 250 credit quad playing both 10/6 DDB and a couple of 100 credit rounds of DB at 10/7. One of the worst sessions I've ever experienced outside of Oklahoma! They did have a pretty good buffet though that we enjoyed with a 2-4-1 coupon ($13.95 per person.)
We headed back Downtown early in the evening. My wife was worn completely out and headed back to the room. I thought I'd end the evening playing BJ at the Golden Gate. I think I should have gone on back down to MSS and played VP instead! I played for 3 hours on a $3 and tanked $60 on it flat betting the minimum. Cold table!
Today, I plan on starting out at MSS, but later, we plan to go up to Jerry's Nugget and maybe Terribles and possibly Slots-o-Fun.
