Back from New Orleans

Post by BillyJoe »

Wife and I found and played a 9/7 TDB 5-way $1 machine in Harrahs New Orleans, which I think is about a 99.5% return. She hit AWAKs four times, and an RF once. I got TOTALY shut out.
Does that mean that the math for that pay table was correct?

Where in the casino is that machine? I have played there a few times when in the Big Easy, but I have never found anything really worth playing.

Rascal, there are only two machines that we found, each one nestled in the middle of a row of single-line $1 machines. TDB is only on 5-way, not available on 3-way. The rows of machines that contain each of the multi-line machines is near the bathrooms, near where they play the slot tournaments.
Good luck

Yes, those are there also. These two are close to those, but more out on the floor. And, as I said, TDB is ONLY at the 5-play level on these $1 machines, with the 9/7 pay table.
There are also two multi-line machines near the poker tables that have $.50 / $1 TDB on 5-way, but the pay table is poorer, 9/5

Are they in that row of slantops?  I normally just play the DDB end cap progressives.

I don't think the 9/7 TDB $1 5-way machines are slant tops. They are each wedged in rows of single line $1 machines, back to back.
The poorer 9/5 TDB $0.50 5-ways are slant tops, close to the sit-down poker area.
