Pros playing for progressive at Bellagio

[BobDancer]

Not aware with your status with MGM since the Million Dollar VP days, if you were reinstated on MGM properties or the mLife players club to even consider playing one hand on this opportunity. Then again, the $2 million bankroll needed to play $25 games you mentioned in the past will just about scare off anybody.

 .I was never 86d from MGM properties --- or forbidden to play video poker. The benefits I receive are much lower than other players receive --- meaning I voluntarily stay away because the return isn't high enough. On this particular play, 99%+ of the benefits come from the gme itself and not the club, so even having restricted benefits wouldn't have been a show stopper.

I understand now, thanks for the clarifications with what happened with you and the MGM after that magical night. I find MGM to be a good value for out of town players provided they get the full benefits.

If $2000/hr EV is calculated from 800 hands an hour, the progressive jackpot might be been around $275,000. Most people will play 8-5 Bonus poker without the progressive, but with the mLife slot club to get cheaper than retail cost benefits.
