Turning $20 into $1,000 Again...

Sounds good. And I just want to thank you, Vman96, and everyone else who reports updates to vpFREE2.com. It helps us all.

     Should be making a quick trip up late tonight with the Mrs. Have a room luckily, then back in the AM with the folks. Hope I have even a partial instant reply, but I am not carzy about going 19 innings this time.

Only 4 games into the new season and the Red Sox/Yankees play a 19 inning contest that took 7 hours. I have not seen an extra inning game tied up twice to force additional innings in a while. Great game though.

[QUOTE=Rebus] [QUOTE=Vman96]Yeah, VPFree2 typically won't list machines below 99% a lot. For the Vegas strip, they'll lower themselves to 98%.Well, I'm seeing more and more sub-99% games being listed on vpFREE2 for all parts of the country, not just on LV Boulevard. I'm sad to say that paytables for the best games at each casino are getting lower and lower. [/QUOTE]

Oh I agree. But outside of the strip, VPFree2 reporters tend to be a bit more picky. When I report around the country, I'll usually report anything 98.8% or higher so games like 9/6 DDB (98.98%) and 98.91% deuces get included. Until more recently, many people would leave those games off and listings of these games were very poor. When I add games, these paytables are many of them.[/QUOTE]

I've noticed America's favorite video poker game (non Nevada full pay) 9-6 DDB does not get listed on VPFree under the Vegas section unless there is something special about it, Quick Quad/STP/Progressive. I suppose serious players avoid the vanilla 9/6 DDB and recreational players will play DDB no matter what.

I suspect most recreational players would play 5/5 DDB if it existed.  They see the big jackpots and their jeans get tight.   Sorry for the crude metaphor, but DDB is so horrible it makes me crazy.

But if you're looking at the Las Vegas Summary page, I do see many casinos with 9/6 DDB listed and not on a specialty game, such as Binion's, Caesars Palace, Downtown Grand, etc, etc.

I would imagine so, I've seen many recreational players pick DDB over the higher playing Jacks or Better and then misplay half of their hands. Some of them will get lucky and get 4 to a royal, then hit the 5th card and start screaming for joy. I learned the hard way that DDB is not for the weakest of hearts. You get quad Aces, 2s, 3s, 4s, and then its gone in the next two hours. Even if you do not play with the cheap system, you can play 3 times more on Airport Deuces betting max than 8/5 DDB.

Thanks I understand it now, it is more about showcasing the best games for each casino. I always thought specialty DDB was only listed since it brings up the return over the 99% minimum that is worth reporting for Vegas casinos.
