If it was 9/6 for Bonus (101.41% in theory), then you might be able to convince Bob to come to AC!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Great line! Can't they ever put that pay table up as a limited promo, even from 3-4 AM? How bad could the damage be?

If it was 9/6 for Bonus (101.41% in theory), then you might be able to convince Bob to come to AC! I'd would also need a picture to believe it. I assume it was either 9/6 JoB (99.54%) or 9/6 DDB (98.98%).

And I would be curious to know if your offers change at all because you played the $50 a point games. I would assume those machines gave out poor comps via mailers because the paytable is good.VMAN, the reward credits and tier credits a player earns on the 50 to 1 machines at CET properties work the same as the others and to my knowledge do not impact what mailers and offers a player gets......CET does not "punish" the player twice just because he/she/it  wishes to play a GOOD sound paytable once in a while!   lol  But I do not blame you for being suspicious or just for asking, it would NOT be far fetched for CET properties in AC to try and "double-slam" players for being "smart"......Regarding the 101% + paytable....as you must know by now, it is against the rules in New Jersey for a Casino to actually have a game/machine that, by itself, returns 100% or more  on their floor......in other words, a game cannot be set up to consistently return a positive expected result.    It CAN be a temporary situation, such as can happen with certain PROGRESSIVE jackpots whereby the game temporarily becomes a 100+%  game, or when a game has modifiers and/or multipliers as part of its normal game flow and for a few hands at a time the game temporarily exceeds 100%!   Mistakes of course do happen (especially in a place like AC with as many disgruntled, unhappy employees and union members who can easily "forget" or "overlook" chaning or correcting a paytable!)....I recently encountered one at the GN I posted about where a  handful of 99+%  machines showed a Triple Bonus Paytable on ONE of their machines that exceeded 100%, but it was an error that was corrected (coincidentally) not long after I posted about it here (I would hate to believe it was corrected BECAUSE I posted about it here!  lol )

I wondered why you would post the mistake rather than bang the heck out of it with the chance to take advantage for as long as positive. I am sure the pros look for that exact thing then try to make money before it gets pulled.

I am sure the pros look for that exact thing then try to make money before it gets pulled.Yeah but seriously, in this particular case it was NOT something that big of a deal....it was on a machine where the highest denom was $1 (also 25 and 50 cents), and the couple hours I was in and around those machines in that casino (Golden Nugget  AC)  I was the ONLY person playing or interested in playing this bank of four machines all in the 99%+  paytable range, so clearly NO one else was even remotely interested in playing these games, error or NOT.      Triple Bonus poker is not my cup of tea anyway.....even at 101%, the game is too volatile (it is amazing how HUGE that KINGS or BETTER condition suddenly becomes when you start playing triple Bonus Poker right after you just finished playing BONUS poker with the usual Jacks or Better!)I doubt  the error was fixed just because I posted on this forum......but believe me, if I found a REALLY great error in the players favor, (like something where the value(s) of  QUADS, a full house and flush or straight gets mixed up or transposed or otherwise entered incorrect and you get a situation where a paytable has something absurd like 125 for a full house, 40 for a flush and 35 for a straight....or even something like 25 for three of a kind and 15 for two pair, etc etc....it has indeed  happened  before!     I would keep my mouth shut and play play play,,,,,,,,!

Yea I hear you. Once at Circus Circus in Reno way back in the coin drop days I found a machine that was having issues with over counting the coin in then getting stuck and paying a few to many coins out. Took a couple hours and the thing froze up for a bag fill, guy comes to feed it kinda looks around at stuff and said he had to take the machine out of service for maintenance. Broke my heart the next day when it was working smooth. Only about $60 dollars but fun while it lasted!

9/6 for 25c at full tier credits is pretty good for CET nowadays!

Regarding the 101% + paytable....as you must know by now, it is against the rules in New Jersey for a Casino to actually have a game/machine that, by itself, returns 100% or more  on their floor

Actually, no, NJ doesn't have a max payback law like many other states.
