Should Everyone Always Play Max Coins?

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

The best game at one location here is 9/6 DDB spin poker for nickels. Everything higher is 9/5.

Florida didn't have any VP lower than quarters until recently. The Coconut Creek casino has nickel VP and those machines are always full. If you compare the odds, single coin quarters is a better game than nickels at that casino. Despite that, most players prefer max coin nickels over single coin quarters.

The Beau Rivage in Biloxi has nickel VP. Hard to lose much playing nickel games as the coin-in is so low. If you play nickel VP or single coin quarters, you won't get many offers. Playing max coin quarters will earn you some comps. If you play dollar VP at the Beau Rivage, they will give you the key to the City. :lol:

I want to get into counting and hole carding. That is where the money is at.

The 4 50-play machines near the Oyster bar had the 9/6 DDB restored, the rest of the games on those and the 100-play remain downgraded. Last time I played the 9/6 DDB, I played them as 10-play, and went through $300 out of pocket without hitting not one quad. :x

Yep. And it will happen! Only thing is I wish they'd push that bank in a little more so the drunks quit slammin into my chair when I'm playing. :censored:
