Speed of play?

I am not a slow VP player.
I am not a fast VP player.
I am a half-fast VP player.

I have been to numerous casinos and have never seen an auto-hold on a machine I played. Regarding free play, thus far no problem using it on VP at my local casino.

I think you'd have to play online to see it regularly.

I've heard of it at some tribals and on cruise ships. In Nevada, we have U1 machines that are optional:

The "Pro-Hold" games have tighter pay schedules than the "Traditional Poker."

Barona in Southern California is one casino which is known to have autohold on most of their machines.
