Better pay tables = free tacos

Post by Eduardo »

Even if you don't come out ahead, you can basically get free tacos just by playing better pay tables.  Okay, so they aren't free. But they are basically free if you would have played any way on a lower machine.If you say a taco costs $1.99 that's only 8 credits on quarters.By playing 9/6 instead of 9/5 you earn 5 credits more for every flush at max bet.A flush happens every 88 hands or so in DDB.So every time you play 140 hands, that's a taco in your mouth that you woudn't have had on the lower machine.For fast players, you can see  how quickly those tacos could add up. On a multi-line machine you could pretty much be stuffing your face for free with tacos the entire time you play, just by being smart about a pay table.So if you have a choice of pay tables, make the right decision. Or buy your own tacos and leave the free ones to me.

I saw a guy at the Orleans in Vegas who was drunk and playing video poker. Every time he won a big hand he jumped off his stool and shouted "free tacos for everyone" Was quite funny and every one around him was laughing.
