Back from Vegas.... came home leaving my money there...
Went to the Silverton....Bob Dancer teaches his classes on Tuesdays....missed seeing him because we were there on Thurs....that's when it happened.....I was walking away from the cashier's window and the tip of my shoe caught on an upright standing ashtray can and down I went....flat ...... bruised my elbow...finger (cut skin) but really hurt my ribs....Refused medical attention at that time ....... came home Sat. and by evening, I was really hurting bad....Sunday morning went for x-rays.....got the report this week ..... no broken ribs. .....

First off, condolences on the injury! So sorry that happened to you! I guess VP must now be classified as a full contact sport <sigh>. I do sincerely hope that your injuries heal rapidly!Secondly, I'm surprised Dancer is still teaching classes at Silverton! They've removed all of his signature machines. We were there last week also.The "Dancer" machines were significant because every game on them was "full pay" at all denominations.

Dancer is not teaching at Silverton any longer. I think he stopped around mid-August just after Sabrina was there. I believe the vpfree data is pretty much up-to-date with what you probably saw:

http://members.cox.net/vp_free/Silv.htmI believe you are correct SM. I check the Casino Data Base through LVA which links to information from the vpFree data base and when I looked at it (yesterday or Monday) it still listed FP with nickels as well as quarters. Those were the now MIA Dancer machines.Oh well, they still have good Quarter games, though not on all multigame/multidenom machines. As in all casinos, you have to look for them and take nothing for granted.I did play the quarters and doubled my buyin without hitting quads. Just FH and Flushes. Whether I like it or not, I'm going to have to move up to Quarters just to get decent pay tables. Impossible to find for peanuts any more.

The better paytables are usually the best bet. Of course, bankroll considerations are always important also. I just recently started playing more dollar machines in order to maintain my status at our prime casino with fewer trips. It's also worth better bounceback and multipliers as well. Since I have the bankroll I can manage it. However, it does take some getting used to the larger swings. Fortunately, I started out on a warm streak and didn't need any special plays.

Didn't need any special plays? Does that mean -- gulp! -- you didn't have your motorcycle handy for a fast getaway?
