Bizarro World 2023

Resorts World in Queens, NY pays the highest returns, at 95.05%.

Funny, there is a regular at Mohegan that abandoned his Vp play at Resort World in Queens and does much better at Mohegan. Not that it matters, but he is a math professor.

You said it correctly. Math credentials are no guarantee of real-world capability. Afaik, Resorts World Queens is one of the worst possible places to play vp because the games are VLTs. There's no skill involved.

I think the State of New York is making a move to legalize class III gaming, as several major gaming companies are expected to bid for the new gaming licenses. Some names mentioned include: Las Vegas Sands Corp, CET, MGM Resorts, Wynn, and Bally's.

Sands wants the new spot big time. If I heard it right the other day they want to give 40 or 50 million to New York as a gift even if they don’t get approval for the casino. I guess the details are on the internet. I just looked up some of it They are offering 54 million as soon as a lease deal is struck. Lots more on the internet. Nassau County.

Well, I am sticking to my theory that on the newer machines, they are loaded with long dud cycles and short intense bursts. Last night I played 9 1/2 hours on a new curved glass bar machine. Same game. Same machine. Airport deuces quarters. After being down nearly 700 bucks of dud hands mostly, in ten minutes, I got the following and got within 50 bucks of even. No Royal. Quad Deuces, back to back Wild Royals, 5 five of a kinds, 4 straight flushes and quite a few quads. There were almost no dud hands. Then it promptly went back to sleep dealing junk and taking back 100 bucks in nothing flat.

Upshot: You had a pretty damn good time at minimal expense! Unfortunately, most poor slobs have only three or four hours to contend with these bandits.

That’s what they are counting on IMO. The Mrs. Ultimate X DDB nickel has gone cold. She played as many hours as I did and never got any low number quads. She got Aces once without the kicker, but did have a 2x multiplier. She lost a total of just under 200 bucks

Forgot to mention they gave us a Hospitality Suite that was even nicer than the Presidential one from a couple of weeks ago. Four big screen TVs. Two living rooms big bar, kitchen, conference room. The welcome treat of Munson’s chocolates is nice too. Those go home or they would be worse than potato chips if I cracked them open. The chocolate covered pretzels would vanish first.

The suite life was extra sweet!I am now thoroughly convinced that there are entire blocks of hours in which players cannot win. For my place, it's when you can hear a pin drop on the floor and the "Beverages!" cry of the servers is extra jarring and piercing. I will damn well avoid those hours from here on out. I can't afford to gamble in that black hole void. Better in my experience to wait it out until it gets populated. If nobody's around, nobody notices if anyone wins. That's a marketing opportunity flushed down the toilet. That may be the logic behind the block, if I were to speculate. But I don't care either way. I just know that the results torpedo players.

That certainly applies in my case. From 10pm to 8am I simply cannot win! Of course, I don't play then.

Much better results to post once my revised trips occur. I already saw it two trips ago. Later start, similar TCs and two thirds less loss. The early bird gets run over. They just retain funds at certain hours. Olds and I are not hallucinating.

And yet, previously you said that your time window experiment failed.
