strategy for 10/7 Double Bonus multi progressive

Post by bellery »

 I'm looking for the basic strategy table that is applicable to the 10/7 double bonus game that has 5 progressive meters that correspond to the top 5 payouts.Thank you for your assistance in helping me locate this information !

That's a little difficult to do. The strategy keeps changing as the progressives go up (or down). What I've done for games like this is build a secondary "cheat sheet" that lists play changes for various levels of a progressive. This can be done using VP software programs using change paytable options. With 5 different progressives this would be nearly impossible to get absolutely right so I tend to look for major changes. For example, at what value of the RF do you start holding the various RF3s over a high pair.

Bellery, I believe you are referring to the Full Pay DBonus bank at the Palms. If not, let me know who else has this +EV game.
 
To answer you question IMO is to do nothing different than a normal 10/7 game. Why? The meters are extremely slow and you rarely get a style altering situation. Example, the RF meter rarely reaches 5% over norm. $4200 for the $1 progressive @Palms. Just not enough house revenue to generate a fast meter.
 
Point to remember when playing these endangered species. Don't smarten up a sucker. Let the eggs discard the low pair with 2 pair, etc. They keep you in action! IOW don't be a volunteer tutor to flash your knowledge/ego.

Thank you Ron W for the good advice ! What's your opinion of taking a VPSM basic strategy sheet to the casino you mentioned & openly referring to it if unsure of a decision ? Will this draw heat or possibly even result in being backed off ?

No problem bellery. I've sat next to Jean Scott aka Frugal Coupon Lady and she was armed with a "cheat sheet" and even asked me my opinion on a certain play. Hey, I'm no Bob Dancer or shadowman. Incidentally, she disputed my advice. lol 
 
To answer you question, I've never seen anything remotely hostile toward a VP player using subtle visual aids. For sure the Palms will not hassle you on the +EV progressive bank.
