Great pull! But I'm disappointed with that paytable...isn't Dan Gilbert rich enough? Quarters+ should always be 9/5 (or higher) TDB, imo.

Yea Vman. I agree. There are a few that are 9/5 but for some reason this machine always hits big more often it seems. I hit four 3 with kicker on .50 cent last week for a thousand and it hits 4 of a kinds quite often. The machine next to it is 9/5 and I have never hit a 4 of a kind on it. But I agree he is rich enough lol. Ever since the casino switched from Horseshoe to Jacks I can't hit nothing on ultimate x and a slot manager confirmed that their hand pays on those machines have dropped like 75% since the switch. Now how can that happen?

He also got rid of discretionary comps and hosts for the most part. All comps are point based on your machine and they give monthly food coupons. Horrible deal!

Did they possibly lower denominations?
And...I could see many players ceasing to play there once they became disconnected to the total rewards network. Maybe more high rollers took more total rewards junkets to Cincy than they thought. 75% is a huge drop though, and assuming a fair game, that's really terrible news for the casino.
I saw 2 ultimate X hand pays last night at Hollywood STL. Along with other slot handpays. People near me seemed to be hitting a lot last night!

Awesome hit mws813! I have not had much success with holding a single ace when I played some DDB in the past.
I think it is one of the casinos that penalize multiliners with another paytable downgrade.
As far as Dan Gilbert goes, not surprised what he did. From a sports perspective, Los Angeles Lakers fans probably dislike him more than VP players.

Did you mean the Golden State Warriors?
The Lakers suck BAD right now...
And without Kobe, who knows if they will fall even further...ESPN predicts the Lakers will remain the worst in the Western Conference while the Warriors are still the best on paper.

It stems all the way back to the 2012 preseason. The Lakers, the Hornets (now known as the Pelicans), and the Houston Rockets had in principle a three way trade that would have gotten them Chris Paul with Pau Gasol going to the Rockets, and the Hornets getting multiple players from the Lakers and Rockets.
Dan Gilbert wrote the infamous letter to then commissioner David Stern. He also wrote a letter to the Cavaliers fans when LeBron left for the Miami Heat.

I know in fantasy basketball, trades can be blocked by the assigned commissioner of the group. This was probably one of the rarest time a trade got blocked by the comissioner. Chris Paul arrived at LAX airport when he learned about the vetoed trade.
Of course the Hornets then went on to trade Chris Paul to the other LA team, the Clippers. From that day, the Clippers overtook the Lakers as LA's team, though history suggests it is laughable. 16 World Championships vs a team that has never reached the Western Conference Finals.
Yes the Lakers are horrible now, but 2012 was lined to have Kobe, Chris Paul, and Dwight Howard all on the same team, with the 2009-2010 championship core of Gasol, Odom, Bynum going elsewhere. This ultimately led to the demise. Lakers ended going for former MVP Steve Nash who turned out very fragile. Because the team was so bad, Kobe was forced to play much more of minutes and his Achilles tendon blew out near the end of that season.
Kobe was not the same after that injury and missed much time. They were trying to prolong his career by getting reliable players so he can play under reduced minutes, but it was not to be. But before that, the Lakers were probably the most consistent team "throughout" basketball history.
