I was there in October and did not find much. Although I did not go into the high limit room as I don't play high stake. My game of choice is DDB and the pay tables sucked on it.   

Good to hear they have some of the best pay tables in the country. I stand corrected.

I did find full pay at Fandango in Carson City and also Atlantis in Reno. I just did not see the full pay in Tahoe but was only there for half a day.

At all of the bars at Harvey's unless it's changed recently, quarter level and up DDB was 9/5 last time I was there. And in both HLR's DDB was 9/6. IMO if you are going to play DDB your success is going to depend more on the number of premium hands you hit and not so much whether you get paid 25 coins on a flush instead of 30 coins every now and then.

My reply:

You are looking at the short term. I play a lot and 10/6 DDB at say Bolder Station in Vegas makes a difference versus 9/5.

As the old saying goes: if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck - it's a duck.

Using that logic - this is an ad!

Harrah's high limit would be the place to look imo. I haven't been there lately, and vpfree2 is variable on accuracy for northern NV.

When we were at Harrahs Tahoe this past October, they did have 9/6 JOB in the high limit room. We played multiline (10 lines at 50c denomination) since the minimum bet on those machines was $25.

Unfortunately, some of their promos are vp-unfriendly. For example, the Monday RC multiplier offers a robust 10x (+1 with the app) for Seven Stars tier, but vp is capped at 2x.
