Found 99 percent machines at Mohegan Sun that pay points

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Found 99 percent machines at Mohegan Sun that pay points

Post by olds442jetaway »

Finally, after seeing my 9,000 momentum dollar point balance from 2011 vanish to zero, I found a few machines that will pay points I can spend and give me over time a near 99 percent return. unfortunately, they are dollar machines. They are Igt multiline machines. Luckily, 98.91 airport deuces is in the menu my favorite game anyway. I was able to get my point balance from 0 to over 100 in about 12 hours of play and stay even as well. My plan is to walk thecasino overnight and find where all of them are located. If anyone needs to know the location, let me know here. The job is only 9/5. My guess is the rest of the games within are in the 98 range as well

Switching from quarter 98.9% VP to dollar 98.9% VP is going to increase your losses and taxes by a factor of four. Are your points going to make up the difference?

Im going to take the hit phil short coining these machines. I can offset the 2 percent hit by playing from 1 to 3 lines starting at a buck a play and using mattingale clone. Also making a few poor choices which are really math mistakes and considered to be low or low medium errors. I have given this a long trial at home with wolf poker. It seems to work very well we will see what happens in real life. Only 2 real life trials so far both positive

My goal is to play as long as possible losing as little as possible until the quad deuces hit. My track record on hitting royals is so poor, i dont care anymore if i ever hit them or not. The deuces have been my friend for quitedome time now

Finally, vy playing 3 lines i have a much greater chance of hitting the deuces than single line. play. My sessions run 6 to 12 hours

You are correct the tax hit is huge if i dont play my cards right. Number one forcing me to itemize to write off the fed and giving the thieves in ct 6 or 7 percent off the too on any w2g

Did someone say dollar machines? Kidding. Yes, obviously a lot more chances to connect on quad deuces on triple the lines. It must be exciting. Just vying for $2,000 RF to quit this outright.

I am not discouraging you from doing what you enjoy with your own money. I play dollar machines myself on occasion. I only do this when I am seriously ahead for the day and I stop when I've had enough. This builds up a lot of points which buys a lot of lunches. I am not under the illusion that the casino's food is free. In the past you have reported losing $50K a year playing VP. Are you prepared to lose $200K? Why not move up to $5 machines? Our expert says they are profitable. :)

All kidding aside, this is serious money you are talking about. Personally, I think you would be better off playing quarters and paying for your "free stuff" out of pocket.

I guess we will see what happens. I do have a cutoff at a loss of 500 for the day. Betting a buck a line for 3 lines hopefully will help in the wait for the deuces. That number is probably the average amount bet anyway on quarters in prior years. I am somewhat concerned about short coining the royal. Unfortunately my 800 for bet 1 spin machine does not have regular deuces in it just bonus. The dud streaks in bonus can be extremely long. I am actually at the casino now enjoying the best Italian roast coffee and watching the news and weather. Very cold up here single digits last few nights. The mrs is ready for a mrs phil realty tour. Especially since she grew up in gulfport fla. getting old and dealing with severe winters is not fun anymore. I still have my dad up here so here i stay for now

I'm sure you will do fine. You've played VP long enough to know what's happening and you aren't playing with your rent money. It's 56 degrees at my house this morning. Come on down!
