Very unusual & Very strange on dealt hands Foxwood

[olds442jetaway]

Hi Sam. None of the quad aces were dealt and strangely enough all came with a one or two card hold. I did post the other day about tier changes at Mohegan. Seems very confusing and complicated. Another somewhat weird day today at Mohegan. Played 3 cent spin poker Bonus Deuces wild for about 9 hours. I would guess about 6,000 deals, but also with an average of 12 lines played at a time so 72,000 ending hands total. In all that time, never got quad deuces, but caught a Royal on one line. That pays 120 bucks. I like this game on low budget days. This is the last of the 3 cent spin games at Mohegan. They yanked out the rest. I told management last year if they pull this one, Foxwoods will get the bulk of my business. So far so good, but I probably jinxed it now by posting about it. Oh well, if so, Foxwoods here I come......

olds442jetaway, those four aces drawing to one or two ace are always nice surprise and getting kicker even better when playing TDB that happen on my last trip to Foxwoods, wife was next to me I said look dear held 1 ace and caught 3more plus 2 for kicker $1000 needed it was already $600plus in the hole so we did leave ahead. Playing fast I go threw $$ quick. olds442jrtaway you probaly know but at Foxwoods for every $340 threw VP machine earn 1 point. Your right kinda complicated on the tier points at Mohengan. I am on this dam medicine the side effects blurs my vision, when we went down last time said oh crop forgot to bring those $20 glasses we bought at walmart but the screens and cards are big enuff for me to see, reading these post on this site give me trouble. Good that you hit RF I should play at lower level but all these years at .25c cant go down to nickes, what getting me is paying all the medical bills I am not alone I have good insurance,people are losing lot money to hospitals. there buildings look better than all the casinos oh well. Olds442jetaway do you think a lot of players from Mohegan are going up to Foxwoods?

Hi Sam. Always good to quit while ahead and that is very hard to do sometimes. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens after Oct 1st with Mohegan. At the meeting, they gave out cards to contact them with questions about the new tier system by email. I wrote that day or next about 5 questions and 10 days later got no response at all. That doesn't really surprise me, but it does p... me off. I saved the email and at some point will forward it to someone in upper management. We will see what happens if anything. As always, good luck and health to all. PS....the worst part about this new system appears to be the vanishing comp rooms and vanishing what they now call choice points that you will have to use for rooms, lounge access etc. THEY ARE USE OR LOSE EVERY MONTH...Nobody I talked to likes that at all including me! Supposedly, they copied something similar to this program from Caesers, but I have no first hand knowledge of this. Maybe someone else knows if Caesers has a similar program.

Randomly random...

to olds442 and sam....i have been sagamore level for last 5 or 6 years...v.p. is all i play xcept for occasional diversions to slots....with app. half the vp machines at mohegan not giving points and (ive been told) 470$ in for 1 pt i decided to give foxwood(xtra 20 min drive time)some business..i was there 2 or 3 times in a month..played mostly .25 w/some dollars thrown in....to my surprise at the end of my sessions i had over double the points i would have made at mohegan w/the same amount of play...i just received sept mailers from both casinos and foxwood offers(free play;food coupon;gas;etc) are better than mohegan....as far as the play at foxwood the machines are about the same as mohegan....i will admit however that mohegan is easier to navigate around and they have more slant tops(which is what i prefer)...i received invite(w/50 fre pts)to go to the new comp system meeting but chose not to go....i feel mohegan has complety abandoned servicing v.p. players..they have done this in many ways....with them displaying no regard towards future business from me i made the choice to ditch them

Funny(lol)(lol) roveer. Is always nice when random works in are favor! Hello 4625601 so you see that foxwood is offering more for your play, are you also saying that the paytables on the machines are also about the same? I thought Mohegan had little better paytables? I guess me and wife are usedto walking around Foxwoods, when we went to Mohegan always thought it was kinda dark in side and more round(circler)walking, foxwoods kinda square walking to each casino. Well good luck where ever you play! 4625601. Sam

I may be making the switch to Foxwoods shortly myself if this new tier system at Mohegan is a complete disaster which I predict it will be. I will miss the 9/6 and other 99% games at Mohegan which I still cannot find at Foxwoods, and for the most part the employees at Mohegan. I do agree that management has left us vp players in the dust. The no points and 470- for 1 point machines are killers. I have seen my balance go from over 7,000 to 3,000 points because of this. My points earned used to cover gas,food, small gifts etc. but not anymore. The comp rooms will virtually disappear come Oct 1. Nobody in management can tell me at Mohegan how much the room cost will be. I will definitely drop to a Wolf level at best (which will now be called something else). At that level, you will only get 200 choice points a month which if not used in that month will disappear. It will cost over $10- per person per visit to the lounge and you will have to pay for rooms as well from this type of point or whittle down your other points too. I can easily see this 200 choice point " gift " being wiped out in one or two visits between room and lounge use. Gone will be the days of 10 comp rooms per month and 20 or 30 trips in and out of the lounge. And forget about bringing in 2 or 3 guests to the lounge. They will be charged from your choice points too! As a final insult, I asked a host what if I just want to run into the lounge and grab a bottle of water and go play. Their answer...." there are other places to get water in the casino." I really hate to say this, but they deserve what they will get if this system really falls out like I think it will based on my attendence and their comments at the meeting.

Its to bad olds442jetaway, I don't think Foxwoods has 9/6 they might have them at high limit VP not sure,(years ago when had more $$ dabbled in $1VP) I think you & me in same boat small limit VP players. Mohegan kinda cutting there on throat reasons, they have steady gamblers playing VP and can almost guarantee some of those VP players put money into other games slots,tables games ect.ect. and if you treat people too bad(pis them off) there going to go some where else(Foxwoods) even if paytables are lower. Now all what I say could be wrong and they surprise you and treat there VP players right, hopefully they do. Sam

I switch my loyalty trom Mohegan Sun to Foxwoods several months ago. I was a Sachem card holder. When no points were given on the VP machines,(I only play VP) I was furious. Wrote to my host and the CEO. I was told we VP players were taking advantage of the loose paytables and causing the casino to lose $$.  Rather than change the paytables they took the points away.I said that my $5 in a VP machine was as good as someone else's $5 in a slot machine. Yes, sam434343 and Olds442jetaway I am being treated better at Foxwoods. I am not a demanding person, but I like my free room and meal occasionly.

That answer you got from Mohegan is so full of crapolla I don't even want to comment about it. Virtually, no vp players cost them money in the long run. Other than the percentage they make on all of us, you have sticky buttons, fatigue, wrong decisions on holding cards, etc, etc, etc, to deal with. Most vp players and I mean by a huge margin don't even look at paytables never mind holding the correct cards. I guess they are just too greedy and want to make up for the drop off in business from us any way they can. They probably won't be happy until vp returns only 85% or so like the rest of the mindless machines people play. What they don't factor is is the tremendous hours that vp players put in. If one plays 10 hours which is probably near normal for real serious players and cylce through say 10,000 dollars a day which is easy even on a quarter machine, and you are giving up 3 percent because of the paytable, they just made $ 300- easy. And that is assuming the bigger hands come in when they should and you had perfect play. I guess they just think we are all stupid or something. I can say one thing and that is they sure are arrogant about all of this and don't like to hear our feedback or read posts like these.
