I have been reading about lucrative casino winning situations for years. I have not played VP in every casino in the world, but I can comment on the ones where I have played.advantage playe wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 7:16 amphil these winning situations with promos, barrel drawings, mailers , ect, r situational and usually non lasting. when they r very lucrative which they sometimes are !! don't expect us to advertise them to the public so they will be even shorter lived !! do ya follow ??
Today's casinos usually fall into two categories, those with good games and those with good comp programs. At the Mohegan Sun for example, you have a choice. The machines with good odds have a sticker on them stating they are not eligible for comp points. At the Ameristar in Blackhawk Colorado, the games are good and the comps are nearly nonexistent. At my home casino in Tampa, the VP odds are poor, but the comp program is generous. Somehow, a few members claim to find casinos that offer both. They also claim to earn cash back, win drawings, take free cruises and stay in luxury suites while playing near positive games. They also never say where or how these games are allowed to exist.
At my home casino, big drawings are held late at night. I am at home late at night with my family, which is worth more to me than any casino jackpot. My wife tolerates my weekly visits to the casino because she knows where I am and the environment I am exposed to. If she didn't and I came home smelling like an ash tray and a beer, things might be different.
Anyone who has played video poker in the last ten years would have serious difficulty believing these reports. What kind of life is sitting in a casino all night long waiting for a royal flush or waiting to see if your name is called in a drawing? This reported activity is especially suspect if the person doing it is over 70 years old and claims to be wealthy.
The casinos where I play don't need to give away the house to attract players. Perhaps that is what is required in Vegas or AC? None of the retirees that play next to me expect to make a long term profit. That is not their reason for playing. They go there for a day's entertainment and to be with their friends.
