I guess the upside of him coming is yall might just become a topic of one of his smart alec silly columns that no one reads.
Is there a chance that the man Dancer might show up?
It would be a real pleasure to meet him.
 
Additional company is always welcome.
 
I'm not familiar with the smaller mountain airports, and BH/CC are in a narrow, twisty, canyon.  Your best bet might be the Gulfstream to Boulder, or maybe Fairplay, and then a chopper the rest of the way.

I have reached my win goal for the year so if I show up it will be just for fun and not count toward my professional record. Might just play some of my romp strategy's. Ha!

Hey CD and Eduardo,        All you have to do is make sure you press the DEAL/DRAW button at the right time and the slightly lower paytables won't matter.         I figure if you can improve your button timing skills to hit winners as little as 6-7% more often than you otherwise normally would, you can turn even a crappy 95% game into a positive play.                  ~Benford's Law

Thanks, Benford's Law...the pays here aren't quite that bad, but I'm still trying to convince Eduardo to try the tinfoil unders trick to keep the machines from sensing any bad vibes.  Every little bit helps - works for me.

I know there are several places including Fortune Valley that have 9/6 JoB at $1 play, but I don't think there are any places left here that have it at any lower denominations.

Hey CD, Shadow and Bob Dancer are a lot better at this stuff than I. Would 3X points on a less than positive 9/6 pay schedule make it a positive play? or would it take CB/BB and a free meal to balance it over 100%? To me, 9/6 would be just that as I don't get the CB and RFB comps like many locals do. Finding 10 /6 or 10/7 pay schedules are a bonanza.

I would personally never count a free meal towards the return of the machine. Cash back, yes.

They're both better at it than me, too.    Let's see how good my late night math is:
 
The answer is that it depends on what your CB % is.  9/6 JoB is 99.54% with perfect play, so to pick up the .46% on 3X points play you'd need CB of .153% or better.
 
The importance of paytables & CB, playing only on 3X points days:
 
9/6 JoB, 99.54% (-.46%),   .153% CB (need $1 CB for every $652 played).
8/6 JoB, 98.39% (-1.61%), .537% CB (need $1 CB for every $186 played).
8/5 JoB, 97.30% (-2.70%), .900% CB (need $1 CB for every $111 played).
