well my casino did it

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

I haven't played a hand of VP in PA in years (even though I live there), since Mt Airy downgraded their $1 10/6 DDB...6 or 7 years maybe? There's just nothing worthwhile. Please prove me wrong...

Well Steve, I'd do the math, figure out how much you're going to budget for gambling in a year, and how much it's going to cost you. Put that money into savings until you have enough for a road trip. Vegas is nice in winter!
By the way, that 88 to 89% payouts for slots, include video poker, so the real payout for slots is likely below 88%. Save your money.

I hope this isn’t the only casino near you where you can go to because I would not give them another nickel. Imagine what they may have done to the regular slots as well as far as paybacks go. I would probably post wherever I could and you would be telling the truth and say something like casino tries to get losses from Covid Back from the backs of their patrons or something to that effect. The only part you wouldn’t know for sure would be the covid part, the rest are pure facts and cannot be disputed because you know the before and after paytables.

He can still head to merry old AC; worth the commute. You get timely quads for the most part. If you play 450 pricey hands, even that is certainly rough. Do not get fixated on any one denomination.

In what way and to what extent are the offers at WindCreek better than AC?

its directly from there website, you can pick and choose the days you want the offers, instead of getting 20$ or 30$ a day chopped up into a month they fix it so you can have it in a day, it beats the snot out of atlantic city comp systems.

You would have to calculate 20 or $30 free play in relation to your total coin and I doubt very much it would raise your total return more than a 10th of a percentage point or so if that but I would have to see what your total coin is. For instance, If your coin and was $5000 for the session and you were playing a 95% machine your loss long term would be $250 per session. If you subtract $20 from that your loss would still be $230. If you were playing a 99% machine you would only lose $50 long-term For the same amount of coin in

At Emerald Island, on certain days you get $10 cash for playing $1,000 dollars through the machines.
I think their best game is BP, so you can sit at the bar, have a few free drinks,
and play a positive game.
Do that only five times and you will get a free lunch once a week. Once you are an established regular you can go once a week, play a positive game for the first $1,000 coin in and get a free meal.
Find a few other places that do that- one place gives a free $10 meal for $20 coin in, and you can find yourself a cheap hobby.
Pre-virus there were too many opportunities and one had to chose which to pursue.
My favorite was a bar that gave double payouts on anything above a flush, so FH, 4OAK,SF and Royals paid double. That is a great game but the flip of it was it was 7-5 JOB , only from 6AM-8AM weekdays and far from my house.
