false advertising

Post by details »

The find a game link is just as misleading as cigarettes are to your health.
All the games advertised here are fp. Example Foxwoods has 100 play with a 6/5 jb for real. Click on find the game for Foxwoods in CT. 100 play is shown in full pay. Maybe the casino should have at least one machine at full pay.

Even vpFree with their volunteer army of scouts, has trouble keeping up an accurate list of casinos that feature "Full Pay" video poker.  Those pay tables can be changed and machines removed.The current thing I've heard about is the influx of Positive Expectation machines at South Point.  They are bringing them in while most other casinos are pulling them out!  I think a lot of this if not most of it, has to do with the casinos really having to watch the bottom line on revenue.The cost of fuel is cutting pretty deeply into the numbers of visitors to Las Vegas from what I've heard.

Same here.  Our casinos are off the beaten path in the hills about 30 miles west of Denver, and Black Hawk/Central City don't get much thru-traffic.  Those gas $'s add up - ouch.  I'm beginning to wish that I'd bought a vehicle with a V-4 instead of V-6.

details,The find a game feature on this site is to locate machines only, not pay tables. That information is not shared with us and casinos can change pay tables at any time.Machine locations are updated monthly.

So typical of big business to retract and take away when they should be doing the exact opposite. Fact is positive expectation can only be reached over extended periods of time and perfect play which is something the average player can't attain. Positive expectation games are not common in my area but if they were and the casino I was attending was taking them out I would search for a more favorable location. Theres actually talk of taking away free drinks around here. My advice to any casino would be if you keep taking players will stop giving! The cream will rise to the top and the crap will sink to the bottom.

harrahs is a perfect example of that al lv harrahs casinos have 97.5% ev games or less i was in  harrahs laughlin which had 50 play 5c 10c 9/6 job and a few games with 9/6 job and 2 nsud there are fewer games and when i go over new years i expect those to be gone. i played the 50 play 9/6 job with a loss of 900 and 400 on the nsud worse then ev as i could not hit enough good hands i played fpdw at colorado belle which doesnt give cash back on players card any more, i hit a royal and 5 sets of deuces giving me a win there to put me about 200 down for the trip. when i stayed at rio in may i played 1 base point breaking even while hitting 2 royals and 6 sets of deuces at gold coast which had fpdw net win 1400. the bottom line is the casinos are killing themselves by being to greedy if all games become less then 99.5% plus comps this site may be the only vp i will play
