Number of hands played

I wonder how bad off you would be if you had spent this playing where I have been playing?
 
Since I'm not aware of any positive opportunities in Tunica then it's doubtful I would have played more than a few times.

[QUOTE=jm002546]  Hey WEBMASTER, if CD and Shadow are only 3 star, what does it take to reach 5?
Much, much more.

WM probably set things so that you need to post a bazillion messages to get that fifth star.
 
The 5-star member status name is probably something like "Grand Poobah"   SM will certainly reach it long before anyone else, so keep an eye on him.

Yes, making all kinds of content-less posts like this one will increase the number quickly.

I've always found this to be a curious law. Several states limit the payback to 100% or less. I've been told one of the reasons is to prevent money laundering but I find this difficult to believe. There's got to be a better way than pounding on VP machines for hour after hour. Not only that, but setting the maxiumum at 101% should be just as good and would include just about all the positive games available.

Yes, and you'd think it would be better for business - casinos could advertise the bejeebers out of 100%+ returns, knowing that as far as VP goes the average player would still end up in the hole over time.  CO's one of the states with a 100% maximum on return.  Maybe the casinos themselves like the 100% cap to discourage bidding wars for customers by one-upping each other on game returns.  At some point that WOULD start eating into profits.
