Harrahs AC

Post by jetermacaw »

Interesting last three weeks. Three weeks ago was my worst trip of the year, playing 5 hand QQs B/P and TDB could not convert dealt trips or QQ for quads all day. Probably had more dealt 3 oak[ natural and QQ ] then I ever had before, I'm guessing at least 40 chances and converted none. Oh well it happens can't win every trip. Last week figured I switch thing up and played 10 hand D/B QQ. Was dealt QQs 3 times and 1 natural 4 oak. This allowed me to play all day acquire just over 600 tier credits with a net profit of $20. This week same game dealt 4 QQs caught 1 royal. 503 tier credits but a net profit of $500. On a side note one of the regular 7* players was dealt a Royal on one of the hundred play QQ machines playing 2c for a nice hand pay of $8000.

Congratulations. I am so disgusted with Harrah's after a thorough beating yesterday. One quad in 1500 hands and three hours. My blood was boiling. Nobody around me near the JOB carousels was winning. Shocked to hear of the two Royal Flush hits in one day. As you know, DB was also steamrolled on his regrettable December Harrah's jaunt.

My December Harrahs "Jaunt" was lousy, but I do not play the games Jeter (or Doirs) play.......on that particular December "jaunt", I managed to lose almost 1700 bucks during 11 hours spread out over 3 machines that were 99% plus paytables, at Harrahs AND the Taj .....The machines At Harrahs are the infamous games that offer the "good" games like 8/5 BP, 9/7/5 Double Bonus, etc, but only give you 1 tier credit for every 40 bucks.  I play 25 cent denom.  Jeter plays the QQ game(s) and sticks to 5 cents per credit......comparing our experiences is like comparing apples to tennis balls.     Plus, he goes EVERY week, the same time and has a lot more continuity and consistency than I do.....I vist AC about once every 4-5 weeks, and I do not always even play at Harrahs when I go (usually I do NOT play a lot a harrahs during a typical AC trip for me.....I would say I play at Harrahs about once in every 3 trips to AC)    So trying to link or draw some conclusion based on solely our harrahs experience is pointless.I still believe (indeed I KNOW) that in many AC casinos there are a lot of video poker games that are NOT operating and generating statistically NORMAL results....but in Harrahs case, with its SERVER based games, it's harder to draw a conclusion .....

I feel compelled to state that jaunt was used satirically. We both play quarter full pay. There is now a sticker in my machine area: "countdown is 50:1." Translation: "Leave upon losing $50. If you stay any longer, you will leave with $1." Seriously, I never drew any conclusions. So far the only conclusion I can make is a rather weak one. Full play stalwarts get slammed, all others have a chance. I've had two awful visits. So, two more to turn around. I figured that Harrah's couldn't be much worse than its sister casinos, which have treated me quite well for eight months.
